I think I have a place to hang my hat in London now, so the next leap is booking a flight -- as soon as my daughter gets her plans worked out and can tell me if she's flying with me or not. If not, guess I can travel solo on my broomstick. Be watching the skies in a trajectory from Tennessee to London, ladies!
From the responses I've gotten so far for a meet-up, it looks as though Jamolive is the only one free on June 9.
On June 16, Jamolive, ruthie, Lassie and Aniem can show up. On June 23, it would be Ophelia, jamolive, lassie and aniem.
I would love for as many as possible of us to be together, but my main goal is simply to meet as many of you as I can. If I have overlooked something here, please let me know; or if your plans have changed and you either can no longer come when you thought you could or can come at another time (and I think I can still do Sundays or even weekdays), just let me know. Will try to nail this down soon -- even if we end up with two dates. You guys are worth it!!!

Hi -- there have been a few complications, but I'm still hoping to arrive in London by June 6 and voiceover has arranged for what sounds like a lovely meet-up for those who can come to London on June 23 (if that's a Saturday and I think it is -- just don't have access to a calendar at the moment and if I leave this site to check it out online, I can't always get it back with my message intact. Anyway, because her husband was in the service, she has access to Victory Services Club in Seymour Street by Marble Arch. It is a 4Star ex-service club/hotel where she will be staying during her own trip to London, and her brothers, who have been in the military as well, recommend it highly. Voiceover has gone the extra mile for us and checked that we can, indeed, spend the afternoon chatting there if we desire, following a meal at noon. We must, however, vacate the premises by midnight (but I turn into a pumpkin then anyway and always try to do that privately, so I'll be leaving in plenty of time.) The voiceover brothers have good things to say about the quality of the food and service and voice over has spoken to receptionist. If we want a full lunch, the price runs 20-30 pounds for 3 courses, with wine extra. You can check out the possibilities on the web site. If anyone is able to stay until the dinner hour, we can eat there again if we choose and we have access to the lounge throughout the afternoon. Voiceover will be staying over until the 24th, so if anyone wants to return or if there is someone who can only show up that day, you can PM her and work out some arrangements for meeting then. The Marble Arch is a station on the Central line and one of the Voiceover brothers recommends if you are driving to London that you park and take that way in, since apparently the parking situation at the site is "iffy." So, I'm suggesting we meet there at noon on Saturday June 23 and play it be ear from there. I would appreciate it if you could let me know for sure if you plan to come then and if you want to provide some phone contact info by a PM, that will be fine. I hope to have a phone for local conversation once I get to London, and I will provide that number then. If you will PM Voiceover, she will share contact info, as well. If you can't come that day but want to try for Saturday June 16, we'll have to pick another spot, so I need to know for sure if anyone plans to come that day and then we'll decide on another site, since Voiceover cannot serve as our entry-card that day. I attempted to get in touch with the tried and true Roofie meet-up place in London, but I never got a response to the e-mails I sent to the restaurant's web site. If neither of these dates works for you but you can be in London sometime between June 6 and 29 and would like to have a small meet-up with just me (not terribly exciting I know, but you can entertain yourself by laughing at my hillbilly accent ), please let me know. And while I've never run into a Roofie who identified herself as being from Edinburgh, if there is one of you in that area, I'll be there from Jun 30-July 27 or so, and would love to meet you, as well. If you have questions about the Victory, please direct them to Voiceover. She's an excellent source and can't wait to get this going. Any of us who get to enjoy this time can thank her and her brothers. Getting so excited. Hugs to all and be blessed, Anglophile

Victory Services Hotel/service Club is very family orientated and used by families visiting London. Large and spacious we should be able to enjoy each others company and have a good laugh - no need for tippy toes! I too tried to get hold of Anglophile preferred venue with no luck. Can book any number into Victory. Please check it out on the web - It is on Seymour St.

How exciting for you all! Your meet-up appears to be coming together beautifully! I predict that you'll all sit down and immediately chatter on like old friends.
