howeirdHow did it get so late so early? Or so early so late?
I'd decided yesterday to go ahead and book a flight to London if I could find a place to stay near Brighton for the first two nights (cousin Shana's wedding being the day after I arrive). Thanks to a cheat sheet from the bride to be (complete with URLs) I found accommodations at about the fifth place I tried. They were actually my second choice, but didn't have a booking widget on their web site. However they did reply to email in minutes. As soon as my reservation was confirmed I booked the flight. The plan is to hang around England for three days after the wedding, then fly back. I'll probably spend some of that on the train, unless my cousins have other plans for me. I've never spent more than a weekend in the UK before.

Actually I won't be going to the wedding as it's just a civil ceremony with immediate family, the reception is in Southwick, the bride's family is staying in Hove. Looks like a series of tiny towns from the map.

I guess they're not so small. 250,000 people. More in summer, I reckon.
