Can you help out a couple of tourists....
As some of you know, my sister and I plan to visit your fair country to share in the TPartying 
We would also like to do a few touristy things and visit a few places while we're there namely Warwick Castle ( www.warwick-castle.co.uk/ ) (or *any* castle really), Cadbury World ( www.cadburyworld.co.uk/ ), and the National Sealife Centre ( www.sealife.co.uk/ ).
I would appreciate feedback on these places (Ever been? Was it worth your time/money in going?)
I would especially like to hear from Brummies interested in going (and others that would meet us there) as we'd like to have travel buddies. For details see Wo or myself in chat (or email persephone_t21@hotmail.com), as I'm not sure its a wise idea to tell the world *exactly* where a couple of mesmerized Canadian tourists are. Thanks in advance for your help.
*runs around all excited*
not long now! *giggle*

Warwick Castle is about 25 miles up the road from me, so I'll come and say "hi" if you like
I haven't been since I was about 12, so I wonder if its as big as I remember

I'm sure nothing is ever as big as you remember.
And how come you're willing to see castle, but no mention of going to cadbury world? Have you really kicked the cream egg habit?

Thanks Spike and Yvonne for posting. Thanks for the prompt feedback (tho mine was not-so-prompt )
Spike - check with DM for co-guide duties Yvonne - sounds great, now if I could only choose which day! I know - *you* can choose a day... whatever (week)day you're available next week... email me @ persephone_t21@hotmail.com
I wonder how much a taxi costs from Birmingham to Warwick?
Anthony - aren't you in Birmingham? Are you interested in going along to any of those places?
I believe Kippa said he was near Warwick Castle as well...
Depending on the reponses I receive, plans may change from *this* castle to Dudley Zoo & Castle, but we shall see hee hee. I'm told it's not as grand, but when you're financially stuck, alternatives have to be found Actually I had hoped to see a zoo too, tho due to time restrictions 
and funds just not possible 
alas i hope to enjoy the time i *do* have over there, wherever i am, and whoever i'm hanging out with

Well sis and I are here having a nice time (specially being *away* from the snow )
We've seen a few places, Warwick is out... especially since this is "Gross Out" Week (according to their website) *bleech* no thanks not for me. Been to Dudley Zoo and Castle.... wuved the animals! I was *this* close to an elephant! OMG!
So far this week has been great, and I don't doubt that the rest of the week will be great too
Looking forward to this weekend Can't wait to meet peeps
