Depart USA on an overnight flight to
London
Friday - July 27th
Arrive London, R&R, club night
out--London's calling!
Upon arrival in London, it's a short journey
to our central London hotel. Here you'll have some time to rest and
relax or explore this vibrant central London location. Our 4 star
hotel is within walking distance of Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Big
Ben, the Millennium Wheel and so much more!
In the late afternoon, our guide, Jon will
meet you in the lobby of your hotel for a drink and brief orientation,
including a detailed listing of what's going on in London during your visit.
Then it's off for a night on the town! Jon will have scouted high
and low to figure out the coolest spot for this evening's club night out.
Saturday - July 28
Concert at Hyde Park-- Sting serenades
us under the stars
The morning is at your leisure.
This afternoon Jon will be escorting the group to historic Hyde Park in
the late afternoon, where we'll be seeing Sting and a variety of other
artists (TBA). After a brief tour of the park's landmarks, our VIP tickets
allow us entrance to the event at 4 PM. Once inside, you will be
free to move from your VIP seats to the exclusive hospitality tent.
Starting at 8PM, Sting serenades us under the stars! Post show, those
who are still up for more fun can stop in to our hotel bar for a nightcap
(they'll stay open for us!).
Sunday - July 29
Afternoon Walk, Rock & Roll tour--London's
brilliant parade
Today, the morning is yours to rest and
recuperate from all the fun you've had, before this afternoons' "Walk,
Rock & Roll" tour. Whether this is your first time to London
or your hundred and first, you will be amazed by our guide Jon's
expertise of rock history and London itself. Jon created the original
London rock & roll walk and for this trip has included a special emphasis
on Sting and the Police. This should be an incredible tour
since London is so ripe with Sting/Police history. Jon is a native
Londoner, music journalist, and rock historian who has been described by
the West End Extra as a "font of amazing facts and obscure trivialities."
He's quite a guy and most importantly he's a true music fan.
Jon will also give you an extensive array
of choices for your evening activities--you may even entice him to join
you!
