I've had this trip planned for several months now, and was feeling rather mixed emotions about the trip-somewhat because I'd be going solo (and haven't been in London the past 5 years without Simon), and somewhat because business travel (especially when dealing with a red-eye flight and 8 hours of jet lag) is hard.
But, I've started reaching out to friends and setting up dinners and drinks. And dinners and drinks. And, more drinks...and find that I'm actually quite excited now at the prospect!
Oddly too, I find that there are a few things on the 'shopping list' that I'm keen to pick up while there-that I can't find here in the US. So, my behavior the previous 5 years when going to and coming from the US with an empty suitcase to stock up on is about to be repeated-but in reverse.
I'm looking forward to walking around again and taking the tube as my primary mode of transport. The things I used to complain about the most (well, at least the tube..) are now currently part of what I'm looking forward to.
Oh, and Lebanese food. Lots and lots of Lebanese food!
