re: Traveling To London This Summer

Posted by TigerGrl73 on 4/4/25 at 4:30 pm
We were just there and stayed at The Resident Victoria. I don't think it was crazy expensive for London. They have locations in Covent Garden, Kensington, and Soho I believe.

I recommend taking the Thames Clipper Uber Boat for a different view of the city. You can do it as a hop on hop off deal or point to point. We went from Westminster to Greenwich on a beautiful afternoon.
Search multi-city on Google Flights then book direct with the airline or a partner airline if the partner airline has a better fare. Don't book flights through a third party.

Emeril's has a Friday lunch now which is more "reasonably" priced at $150 for 4 courses ( plus the extras you will get in a tasting format). I went recently and felt it was actually worth the price tag. The service, presentation, and quality were an obvious step above. I could not imagine the dinner though. We were stuffed.
We actually did an organized day trip that combined Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa, and it was a great day. Pisa was last and we weren't there too long, so it was perfect. I wouldn't have wanted more time there but I was happy to see it.

Thank you. I've been worried but I assumed several of you talk to her off board and if something were seriously wrong, we would know.

A whole basic pie at Forbidden is $28. The most expensive is the Italian Stallion for $36.

You can use HSA money to pay Medicare A (usually free but has a premium in some circumstances), B, or D premiums, but you can't use that money for Medigap plans.

you retire before you are 65 can you also use your HSA to pay premiums?

No, unless you have COBRA.

I switched my mom from T-Mobile to Visible a few months ago when they were having their $15 a month for 5 years special. Works great for her.
You will probably come out better buying point to point tickets. We did a pass years ago to go from London to Exeter to Bath and back to London, and we overpaid.

That's the Patio Room. It's not new but they recently remodeled it.

Did you get a letter from the state? If you didn't, I am pretty sure you will have to go in person. My husband and I both recently renewed online but we both received letters.
