Future Plans

On my way back from the Tower of London today, I started thinking about what I wanted to do next Saturday, before my flight home on Sunday. I've already seen the major historical sights I wanted to see, and I think I've had about all the museums I can stand for one trip, so I was at a loss to decide on what I should do. But as I was riding the escalator back up to the street level from the tube, I was looking at all the advertising posters they have hanging up for plays in the West End. That gave me my idea!

I came back to my room and started looking up shows on the Internet to see which ones were offering reasonable prices. As it happens, the best price was offered by my very favorite play, Wicked. The wireless Internet connection I'm using is unsecured, so I didn't want to order my ticket online, and the phone in my room can't make calls outside the building. So I gathered up my change, wrote down the number for Ticketmaster, and went down to the phone box on the corner. I ordered my ticket, which I'll pick up at the box office on Saturday, and came back upstairs to map out my route to the theatre. As it happens, the theatre is three tube stops away on the line I've used most often, and it's right across the street from the station. It should be an easy trip, and a great show!
