Every good trip starts with a send-off party

Thanks to Shelly and Michelle, I had the appropriate send off - Indian food at Moti Mahal, and lots of laughs. I am trying to get myself packed but I figure the less I bring from here, the more room I'll have for shopping there. I don't have to worry about what to wear when I go to visit Buckingham Palace because Liz will be in Ottawa when I'm in London. Coincidence? I think not!
