Getting ready for our London holiday

It has been 2 years since my last visit to London. Our Bunso hasn't been there, while Kuya's last visit was in 2009. He has been asking when we will be going to London because he wants to meet Stampy (Minecraft/Youtube star).

Prior to this trip, I had to apply for a U.K. Visa because I'm still using my Philippine passport for all our travels. Luckily, my husband and kids have Australian passports (the kids have dual citizenship).
I have to admit I am quite excited to be going back to London. It is, after all, one of my favorite cities. I never get tired of visiting the museums (V&A Museum is my favorite) and watching a play or a musical on West End. For this trip, I had planned to watch a remake of the play, Romeo & Juliet by Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Our itinerary for this trip includes a visit to a theme park, a castle and an ancient historic landmark. Unfortunately for me, I was not able to book a ticket to visit Highclere Castle, the location for the TV series, Downton Abbey. We have just finished booking our accommodation for the whole trip, and used Booking.com (for great deals) and Hotels.com (for reward nights).
