Apparently, I satisfied the myriad requirements to travel from the USA to the UK - they gave me a boarding pass.  I can't wait to be poked and prodded in the UK to see how they do it there.  That's Monday.  Then a self-test 2 days before I come home.  Now I'm sitting in the United Club in the Houston airport, waiting for my plane. My next post will be from London, sometime tomorrow, I hope.

The Isle of Man is well worth a visit, but it requires a ferry.

Carnaby Street in Soho. This was the center of the Mod fashion scene in the 60's, and is referenced in the Kink's song "A Dedicated Follower of Fashion".

Shakespeare's Head pub on Carnaby.  I had an Old Speckled Hen Ale here.

I'll post at least 3 photos every day.  Tomorrow I'm heading north on foot, first to get my Day 2 test, then to Regent's Park, and with any luck, to Abbey Road.  I'm trying for a shot of me crossing where the Beatles crossed.

That's an interesting part of London. You are close to Liberty in Regent Street, where you can get wonderful scarves for your wife.

Yes. Portobello Road is in Notting Hill and Kensington Market is near Knightsbridge.  Not sure if I will make it to either - long walk from where I am staying.
