London
Well, after watching the BBC News this morning, I can understand why everyone hates the USA - the BBC blames us for everything under the sun - from flooding in Bangladesh to the price of oil.
My hotel is gorgeous - I got upgraded to an 'executive' room because I'm a Hilton Gold member (after this trip, I'll be 'diamond') - and it is huge and lovely.
I walked a couple of miles yesterday to get a sense of the neighborhood. Spent a cozy hour in a local pub, and wandered through some very interesting little shops.
Broadband is very expensive here - 15 Pounds for 24 hours - pretty pricey at the current exchange rate!
Pictures tomorrow!

If you are at the same Hilton I mentioned, are you in one of the corner rooms with the pepper pot windows?
We stayed in one room that was usually reserved for some Grand Dame who stayed there a couple weekends a month. Had lots of pretty antiques (none of which fit in our luggage), a real shower (of the usual British flower sprinkling type), and a lovely view of Kensington Gardens.
Lee Ho Fook's (Werewolves of London) was around the corner.
