So I ended up having the Megabus ride from HELL getting from Glasgow to Manchester! And the killer is, it only saved me 12GBP so maybe $16. But I booked it thinking “hey, $16 here, $16 there…it all adds up”. Well, I can honestly say it was NOT worth the $16 saved with the crap […]
Happy Halloween! 😀 It’s pretty cool that UK celebrates it well now too. It’s huge back in the states. 😀 Well, Maria and I had gotten up with the PLAN to go have a little bite to eat at a café before I headed off to look for a few gems at the BaB store […]
Today was going to be my first of 2 with my friend Maria. We had such a fun time back in August/September that she was kind enough to change her hotel room to 2 twins so we could share again. 😊 A bit of an interesting train ride tho as I had to transfer but […]
So I woke up to a semi sunny day the next day and since I had a later train departure (Hull is only 1 hour 15 mins from York), I got adventurous and headed off to the York Designer Outlet where I hit the motherload of BaBs with some things not in the states yet. […]
Well, it’s that time again….an OMD UK tour LOL. I am only doing 6 gigs this round…small tour for me for sure…but ah well. Sadly, most of the friends I usually see the shows with are doing ones other than me. ☹ But have made a few new ones recently so will have them around […]
Well, it’s always sad for me to say goodbye to my sister tho I was glad I was having to get up early enough to be able to do it before she headed to work as she leaves early too. 🙁 Another day on the road ahead for the girls and I but not as […]
So, after a fun night in Charlotte, Maria, Marilyn and I hopped into a car for the drive to Nashville. As I have mentioned before in some of my blogs, I collect Build A Bears so I had 3 stores I wanted to stop at to look for location exclusives and get my Pawsport stamped […]
Well, OMD are on an American tour with B-52s and Berlin but not only am I not a fan of B52s, not much of a fan of Berlin either so originally didn’t think I’d see them at all this time around (no Chicago date even so…) BUT, it got announced that they were going to […]
Day 2… first I should probably apologize now as I won’t have as many specific quotes as last night but I think I was so intent on watching the orchestra and soaking it all in, I remember more the experience as a WHOLE in some ways vs. specific things said. But I WILL have some […]
So…my VERY first time seeing OMD play with an orchestra. I had SO wanted to go to the one in 2009 but my job was such that I wasn’t able to take as many trips and I had tickets booked already to go see them later in the year when they opened for Simple Minds. […]
