London Calling

 B and I are taking sort of a spur of the moment trip to London in two weeks.  Thanks to FlyerTalk, I managed to score some great deals with airfare and hotel (which leaves more of the travel budget devoted to food!)

Though I've technically been to Europe before (if you count the Germany and Amsterdam airports), this will be my first time actually exploring this continent (B's too) and we're super excited!  We're thinking of taking the train to Paris for a day trip as well.  There seems to be so much to do in both cities it's hard to know where to start!

Here's my list so far:

To do in London and Paris
  1. Obtain every type of Cadbury chocolate made in the UK
  2. Eat my weight in croissants                                              
  3. aaaaand that's as far as I got...                                         

 

Obviously I need some help--so... what are your must see, must do, and must eat recommendations for London and Paris?

  2. Visit Fauchon, an open air market, heck eat street food in Paris and blog about it. As for London, I hear the foosd is better than when I was there....try some twiglets and weird flavored chips, they have shrimp and curry!

  3. Never been but if I did, would have to see the Beatles Penny Lane and Strawberry Field in Liverpool. Also, Abby Road in London. Don't know that anything of any value came from England, other than the Beatles.

  4. Galen obviously you haven't had Cadbury chocolate from England! I will try to find some sugar free ones for you!

  6. Depending on how long you have in London, I might skip the day trip to Paris since you can do so much in London! I haven't been in a loooong time, but I love the V&A Museum and the Tate. Shopping (especially for shoes) is killer. Kew Gardens. The food halls at the giant department stores. Stuff Maltesers in every available crevice in your luggage!
