Back in Blighty!

No big blog tonight because essentially all day was travelling to Charles de Gaulle airport to drop off half the tour group to fly home from Paris.  Then they drove the rest of us to London and dropped us at Waterloo station at 4pm (which is right beside the Trafalgar office and, for those of you who don't know, is a very very central London subway station).  I had so many shopping bags plus a backpack, purse and suitcase that I got a black cab to my flat in Battersea because it was much easier given the weight of my baggage. 

Once I got there, I headed to the post office that I knew was about two blocks away that has mailing boxes and I bought the biggest one and started pouring out my bags on the floor of my AirBNB. At this point in the night, I have figured out what I need to ship back as opposed to put in my luggage just to keep it safe (and Tara, that is definitely the Baser Lackerli that will be in the shipping box because if it goes in my suitcase, it will be crushed), but I'm going to post it back to myself with a signature and on a fairly fast parcel service so hopefully I'll get it this week at the office (I addressed it to the office).

Anyway, it's almost midnight here in London, so time for me to go to bed, but tomorrow my friend, Dina, has great plans for me - we are going to Soho for a tour of the most famous murders of that area and then we are going to the private members-only club at BAFTA for lunch and drinks (Dina is a member of BAFTA if you are wondering how we got in).

I may or may not post tomorrow, but I fly out on Sunday at 3pm London time and arrive at 5:40pm EST.  So basically I'll be back on Sunday night.  I'll call people or text you to let you know I'm back.

That's all for today!
