It's been a trip so far. Th eflight to London was ok - but here's a tip - don't fly into Heathrow and drive to Gatwick. I'm not familiar enough with the roads to have done that tired :). I finally arrived at my hotel, only to find that I'd been transported back in time - not only was there no internet connectivity, there were no phones in the room! I had to rent an alarm clock...
I had forgotten my itinerary, and making a calling card phone from a public phone boot was an odyssey of begging for operator access. That done, I finally went to bed. Got to Gatwick this morning, hoping to find some WiFi access.... not a chance, not even in Starbucks (there are 2 signals, neither of which gives me net access). So I'm slogging completely off the grid now... who knows when I'll be back on. On to Germany, and hopefully to network access...
