Have you ever been to London, England? I’ve never been, but I’d love to go for a vacation some time within the next year or two. I’d enjoy going to Piccadilly Square, seeing what Buckingham Palace looks like with my own eyes, and probably attending some of the live theatre productions.

I know that some of my readers live in England. Perhaps if I ever do get around to booking a holiday in London you could tell me what sites are “Must See” places to visit.

I do know that I won’t have a problem finding a cheap hotel in London, because I’ve visited and already bookmarked a site called easyhotel.com where I know I’ll be able to pre-book a nice hotel room easily and for a good price.

Finding cheap hotels in London or anywhere in the UK is important to me, because while I know that I’d like to stay in nice hotels when I do go to visit London, I certainly don’t want to spend the majority of my money on lodgings. The Canadian and US dollar are much lower than that of the Pound. I think the pound is about 2.5 times higher in value than our money, which means that when we do eventually go to the UK and perhaps elsewhere in Europe we need to be aware of how much things cost ahead of time.

When the time comes I’ll just go to the EasyHotel.com website and locate their section for cheap hotels London and book our rooms. You can set the search to find hotels near particular areas so if I know what sites we’d like to visit before hand, we’ll be able to get a hotel that’s in that area. That will save on the cost of transportation too because either we won’t have to travel too far by cab, or public transit, or we’ll actually be able to walk to specific locations.

I think I’m going to talk to my brothers wife. Every year they go off to either some exotic location or a new continent that they’ve never visited before. The begin planning their new trip pretty much upon returning from the last trip. Well, it’s my brothers wife that does the majority of that planning. She’s good too. Their trips always seem fascinating and she always finds good deals on travel, and hotels or other lodgings.

If we want to go to London I’m sure she’ll have some good tips on what to see and some idea’s as to how we can cut costs.

If she gives me any really good tips that could be applied to just about any type of vacation I’ll be sure to make a post about it at some point.
