These boots are made for walkin'

Actually, I am wearing boots today. They're red.

I'm eagerly anticipating some upcoming travel next month.

First I am going to Ithaca for a weekend to frolic with my best girlfriend with the biggest neck, Jake. I have been told there will be nature, food, music and many, many drinks. Yee haw! Probably no drugs, which seems odd for a visit to a place so densely populated with hippies. But whatever.

I am jetting off to London with Julie for nearly a week. Look out British boys! Yael's going to try to escape that dreadful place she's living in to meet us for a few days. I've been instructed to find karaoke in London. So far, I can't even find a place to stay. So I appeal to you, dear readers. Does anyone have any suggestions for non-scary, affordable hotel-type places in London? Big sloppy kisses to anyone who suggests a place I actually end up sleeping at.
