125 Days!

The first part of planning any trip is to get really, really, REALLY excited about! Check. We've got that covered. (I mean, as you can see, I started this countdown at 125 days!)

We have watched every Rick Steves' London episode on Hulu, listened to all his podcasts, searched for random YouTube videos about London/Christmas in London, and my guidebook is covered in highlighter!

My first tip: after much deliberation,
we decided on the DK Eyewitness Travel London 2014 guide, seen here:

It has a lot of basic information that you need, a good amount of history, and enough pictures to keep you excited and reading the whole thing!

We also considered Rick Steves' book, as it is VERY detailed, but we decided that is one for closer to the trip, rather than for the initial planning stages.

To get you excited for this adventure as well, I have included one of those fantastic YouTube videos that we've been drooling over. Enjoy!

Oh! And is this where I throw in to any potential burglars out there that our house will be protected while we are out of town? Okay, internet, here's the 411: a person and a fierce dog will be staying here; so don't get any funny ideas.
