Manchester, UK--met my boyfriend there in May of 2005. We went back there in October of 2006.

London, UK--was there in July 2005, HOT weather, when I requested "a glass of water" with my food order, I received a tall glass filled with plenty of ice and cold water. Not always obtainable, not specifically requested, but very much appreciated. Thanks Liam! (he was a great waiter) Sadly, the kitchen caught fire that day AFTER I left. Thankfully no one was injured, but they were closed for awhile.

Hollywood, California: coolest item on display: The Chris Thompson band doing a live performance for the ABC Trust. Chris rocks!
