Looks like you have a nice trip coming up. From what i can gather you have saved a BUNDLE on your accomodations!!

You may benefit from looking about our new London Maps to get a lay of the land surrounding your hotels.

Thanks for the post(s).

Thanks!! This will be my first Europe trip so I'm really excited about going.

Actually I did use your map for London---it is quite helpful and I love the balloon links--it did help me to better envision where things are and how I will get from place to place. :)

I'll try to take some pictures of the hotels while I'm there and write up a nice review for the board. This board has been SO helpful--I was truly afraid of Priceline before this and wasn't sure about the whole "blind" bid part, but the information that people have shared here has made the difference. I'm a convert now!! I unfortunately do not get to travel much, but when I do, I'll be coming here.
