Our final day in London

And of course our last day in London Kahealani and I was very happy to be able to spend the entire day with Alice.  We met up at the Camden Market and toured the entire area.  It was amazing and full of arts, jewelries, clothings, souvenirs, and food food food!!!

Alice and Kahealani had fun trying on goth clothes and definitely eating!!!

As the daylight began to dim we all decided to catch another musical, Chicago!!!  And this time Cuba Gooding Jr. was a guest cast!!!  A great show and awesome soundtrack and I love the Roaring 20's Era too!!!

After that we went to a wonderful French Restaurant for dinner and ended our final day and night in London.  As Alice parted ways with me and Kahealani, it was a sad feeling and if you know me, I'm terrible at goodbyes and of course I cried.  But I am grateful to have Alice in my circle of family and she was the door to my travel opportunities to Russia along with meeting her father.  

Alice think you so much for everything, this is only the beginning of our friendship!!!

Too be continued...
