London Feb 2025
Reason for my tip was to hand in Mrs. B application for her Canadian passport. She was born in Canada. USA now says if you were born in Canada, you must have a Canadian passport in enter America.
We have ESTA S but that is not good enough.
We are flying to Boston and have a cruise up the East coast of holiday Canada. We finish our cruise back in Boston.

My day started with Move cars dropping me off at Glasgow Airport.
7.00Am Flight. Time to have an overpriced duff breakfast at Wetherspoons.
Flight took off bang on time. Arrived in Gatwick with 15 minutes spare.
Took shuttle from North to South Terminal. There I got the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station. Which is in the centre of the city. The train priced at 40 quid return. Not cheap.

After throwing my bags in. I walked up to Buckingham Palace. No sign of King Charles. After that down the Mall to Trafalgar Square to hand in the Application form. Canada House is a huge building. Can't miss it.
After Canada house I had to take the train from Waterloo to London Bridge. Which is near the Shard. Not got Shard till 3.00. So a few drinks and a bite of lunch.
