About Me
- ~kristina
- After years of wanting to live abroad, I finally moved to London in March 2008. The purpose of my blog is to keep my friends in the US up to date, hopefully provide some helpful info to others thinking about a move to London, and to help me remember the experiences I have had while here.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI'm an American about to move to London to go to University and I was reading your blog and finding it really helpful! I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.
-Should I get a phone before I leave that works internationally or should I just set up the phone thing once I'm over there? Which, in your opinion, is cheaper?
-I've heard that setting up a UK bank account is absolute hell! How many weeks should I prepared to be paying for stuff in cash with the initial move, before my accounts are set up?
Your input would be SO helpful if you have the time. : )
Thanks!

Hey Kristina, what about Lastminute.com? I've tried that a couple of times and found them to be really reliable. Love the 'mystery hotel' options as well. Ended up at Hilton and Sheraton both times I opted for them.

Hi CK,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping back in...I'm a huge fan of lastminute-I think that's how I've planned most of my trips to the continent this past year!
I was mainly directing that post at my friends (allegedly..am beginning to wonder...:)) in Seattle who have yet to come over for a visit, and wanted to provide a gentle nudge by listing the travel sites in which they could find a bargain trip to London! :)
Thank you for sharing information. I will also suggest you one of my favourite site ECT. Here you will get lot of good deals as well as discounts which can make your tour cheap.
