Hey wow - I guess we are stars after all!

Seriously, I was so happy to find out you guys are coming to London. It's going to be great to see you both again and I can't wait.

This couldn't have worked out better, as I'm actually in London that day on my public relations diploma, so that's perfect timing. As Sabine said, we're still figuring out exactly what we're going to do on the Friday, but I do know one thing - we're going to have an amazing time together.

Chez and Mark ARE true stars in the PassPorter realm, after all

And Cheryl, I am so excited to meet up with you guys again! Yay! We'll have a blast!

[Colexis Mom]

Great start Sabine!!

[POOH]

Sounds like it going to be a great trip. Those spontaneous ones are always the best.

This part had me cracking up! They really are big GOOFs

Keep telling Cheryl how big of stars they are and she'll get a big head. She really will.

I'm still jealous of you my friend, but while you'll be meeting up with two of our favorite Brits, I'LL be getting ready to see La Nouba.
I expect pictures, lots and lots of pictures. Don't be shy(or polite).

Too funny! And what do you mean... me, big head?? It only took me three attempts to get into this room tonight... that head just about fitted!

HA!!! I KNEW IT.

Have a great time Sabine!! I think I would be drooling over Scott Bakula personally (ok so I looked at who would be there) and Bruce Boxlitener... sounds like a neat place to be - and to get to spend time with Chez and Mark = that is icing on the cake!

Have a wonderful trip!

Can't wait to read all about it!

Ok, I think I've got Saturday's itinerary set up now:

• Breakfast around 8:30am, then walk to Earl's Court 2 to enter the convention around 9:30am
• Get autograph from Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) and Peter Facinelli (Carlisle ) first, then from Justin Chon (Eric from Twilight)
• Stroll around the convention a bit, maybe buy a thing or two
• Then we have a photo op with Jewel Staite (Dr. Keller in Stargate Atlantis) booked at noon.
• More photo ops booked around 1pm: first Alex Meraz (Paul in New Moon) and later Peter Facinelli
• Another photo op coming up afterwards, this time with Michael Shanks
• Around 2:30pm, we should have time for a lunch break. There's plenty of restaurants in the area so we'll just pick one once we're there.
• Then, at 3:50pm, my personal highlight of the day: the Stargate talk with Michael Shanks and Jewel Staite
• We'll leave the convention after the Stargate talk, so we should be back at the hotel by 5pm at the latest. I'm sure by then, we'll need a break!
• For that evening, probably around 7pm, I'm gonna make a dinner reservation for the Green Door Steakhouse, which is within walking distance of our hotel.

The itinerary seems manageable since we have Golden Programme tickets for the convention and will hopefully not be waiting in line all that much. I can't wait to meet all those actors. Hubby, on the other hand, probably couldn't care less at this point! I'm sure he'll have fun once we get there, though. Like I said, we're both huge Stargate fans!

Here are a few pics of the actors we'll meet. There are like 50 or 60 other guests at the convention, but these 5 are the only ones we're planning on meeting:


Michael Shanks (aka Dr. Daniel Jackson in Stargate)


Jewel Staite (aka Dr. Jennifer Keller in Stargate Atlantis)


Peter Facinelli (aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight saga)


Justin Chon (aka Eric Yorkie in the Twilight saga)


Alex Meraz (aka Paul, member of the wolf pack in New Moon)
