TGI Friday's Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "TGI Fridays"

Quote:
I love the TGI Fridays at Piccadilly Circus, sure it's an American chain, but the one at Piccadilly is better than any of the one's I've been to state-side.

The only downside is that the prices are twice as expensive as in the US because of the exchange rate.

As a girl who had a more than mild obsession with Ancient Egypt finally getting to see the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities outside Egypt as everything I hoped it would be. I was truly glad to be there during the off-season though. Even being there at the end of November the museum was rather crowded, I'd hate to be there during peak tourist season.

Story/Tip

Quote:
The hussle-bussle and stress of trying to get everything you need to survive for 3 whole months into 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on. Here are 5 reflections from my preparations thus far: 1)No shampoo in carry-ons now, grr, added hassle. 2) Can I say enough time how much I love space saver bags? 3) Do you really need 2 towels and a bathrobe? 4) I wish my school offered a meal plan, I could save a lot of space if I didn't have to bring along kitchen utensils. 5) So glad I do not have to get a visa prior to departure. Thank you England for being such good friends with the US.
