I'm off to London on October 14th to attend a two day conference. Then I'm spending four extra days to sight see the city and hopefully meet a friend that I haven't seen in seven years. I'm staying in a low budget hostel that is close to Hyde Park. Meanwhile Darcy's last physical day at her job is October 29 and her separation day is Dec. 23. She's going to use up her remaining vacation time in between so we're going to visit Paris and Belgium for a couple of weeks. I have a bunch of unused vacation too that I need to use before the end of the calendar year.
The weather is slowing cooling off and I braved the elements and did my first evening corniche walk earlier this week. The corniche beach extension project has extended all the way to our neighborhood. So there will be almost two kilometers of beach. But the grand opening of the entire stretch has been delayed (no surprise!)
