How to Solve a Problem Like a 25th Wedding Anniversary
In January of this year I arranged a weekend break to London for my husband and myself in celebration of our twenty-five year wedding anniversary. (Wow I’m getting old!) Having not been to the capital since our honeymoon all those years ago it seemed like the perfect time to visit again. But with only a modest budget of £300 and wanting to spend the nights in a hotel rather than a hostel, I decided it was finally time to get to grips with our newly brought family laptop, and dig up the best deals I could find on the interweb for travel and London theatre tickets.
The following article is a detailed account of my progress and what I found out so that you other technophobes might discover a few shortcuts when planning your next trip to the capital.
During the search my first stop was usually Google, plus a fewsites suggested by some of my more computer geekish friends. These are the four main areas of research:
- Transport
- Accommodation
- Site seeing and Attractions
- Theatre Tickets
Tip 1 – Get Advice from Real Travelers
First things first – I got onto trip advisor and made a big list of all the many things there are to do in London. (Soooooooo Many!) Trip advisor is a great site because you’re able to enter the details of your upcoming trip, and then read the opinions and marks out of five from real people who have been there and brought the t-shirt.
The review to the right is typical of the site. Hopefully this list will give you some inspiration as I have also included links to some reviews, descriptions and rating for each.
