Howard: Thanks, it seems that the hotel is booked for the duration of my stay,
We ended up being 3, my 2 younger brothers are joining me, not only one and the cheapest decent place I found was 90 pounds a night (breakefast and wifi internet included).

Brian: Yup, the tube is the way to travel when you wish to save time, the last couple of times I was there I actually used the buses when I wasn't in a hurry, it is nice to go above the ground and see the city while traveling somewhere, it takes more time - but you don't get disoriented and you get to see more...
In any case - I have 2 oysters waiting to be refilled, don't worry - I am a TFL veteran :) thanks.

Andrew: Nopes, I never used gig bags on planes and I am not about to start :)

Ilan - I save $1000 in total, $500 on shipping, $100 for having fedex release the package for me and $400 VAT on shipping + product itself... Actually - I don't save a dime, I fly with my brothers :)

Bob: 40 pounds??? where exactly? I couldn't find a room for our dates and when I checked how much would it be in 2 months it was alot more...
