A new home!

This morning I awoke in all the luxury that the Radnor Hotel affords. I was moving a bit slow as I had several beers last night and they pack about twice the punch as the average American beer (so says my sources at least).

I went online to see how much flights would cost me to Amsterdam this weekend. About 45 pounds ($90US). Then I tried to find a hotel there and they were all booked (well at least all that I could find online that werent a fortune).

So, I went downstairs at the desk and wanted to pay for another day of luxury and was told they had sold my room out from under me! I was homeless once again. That gave me about 30 minutes to get cleaned up and packed and out the door.

Once I said my goodbyes and exited the life of luxury that I had come accustomed too, I walked over to one of the hostels next door and found to my surprise that a single room was available. The price is right, but its on the 6th floor through a tiny thin stairwell. I got my exercise lugging my bags up those stairs. Its probably my worst loggings so far but I will only be there one night.

I then went to the local t-mobile shop and bought time for the phone Renee had given me. I was now connected to the world with a cell phone that wont cost me a fortune! I started calling some of the numbers I had collected and found a hotel that had a room nearby (in the Marble Arch) neighborhood. The price was right so I took the Underground and checked it out. I would say it is about the same level of luxury as the Radnor hotel. Tiny stairwells into tiny rooms. Course in this case I have to share a bathroom with a few others but the place seems friendly enough. So I booked it for two weeks! IM NOT HOMELESS ANYMORE!

Oh, it has wireless internet as well. :)

Course, that means I am not going to Amsterdam this weekend. But, there will be time for that later in the month. Possibly after my two weeks are up, I will leave London for a couple weeks. I could always do another two weeks at my new place when I am done.

Honestly I am just glad I have a spot to call my own for a while. I will post some photos of my new 'home' soon. But I really dont move in until tomorrow night.

Oh, one thing that is starting to concern me in a big way. My computer. It has been giving me major issues, freezing up and running poorly. Luckily after my last forced restart, it is running smooth. But I am concerned nonetheless. If my computer dies, I would have to buy a new computer or head home early. Its a concern obviously.

Thats the new news with me.
