Jim Eade's Chess  Journal

We spent a wonderful time in London just walking around Westminster.  We had some excellent meals and took in a total of four shows.  The weather was great.  We normally stay at Brown's Hotel in Mayfair, but it is undergoing renovation at the moment.

Sheri had to work while we were in Dublin, but I spent the time walking around the city and eating at places like Pearl's and Bang, with excellent results.  I also hooked up one night with GM Alex Baburin, which was a nice treat for me.

The return trip from Dublin through Heathrow to San Francisco was a long one made longer when one of our bags turned up missing.  United delivered it around 11:00 pm PST, and I was finally able to call it a day.
