A One Nighter In London

We spent the night in Hilton London at Paddington Station. It was an easy train ride from Oxford which took less than an hour. Upon arrival it was too early to check in but they took our bags and we went out for lunch.

We went for lunch at the Angus Steakhouse, just across the street from the hotel. I had a beef sandwich and Bruce had fish and chips.

It was raining so we didn’t want to venture far. After lunch we checked in! A very nice room! At Hilton as a gold member you get breakfast included and an upgrade in room!

We decided to go see The Lion King at the West End. It was on our taxi ride over to the Lyceum Theater that Bruce remembered that he didn’t take our $1k out of the safe in Oxford! Yikes! That was our winnings from the cruise.

My stomach was doing somersaults. That’s a lot of money to lose. Frantically, we found the number of the hotel. This was all happening in our taxi ride.

He contacted the manager at the Marriott Oxford, Arvind Bhardwaj, who went above and beyond to help us out. To our relief, Arvind was able to get a driver to deliver the money to us in London that evening. An angel!

So we were able to relax and enjoy the show!

We had great seats and the show was light and fun!

Our money arrived at 11:30pm.

A delicious buffet breakfast and packing to go on a plane. We had to make sure the liquids were in checked bags.

All is well and now we are on our way to Barcelona!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
