How much money would it be in U.S. dollars if i stay in London, UK for 2 weeks? (:?

Q. Im having trouble with finding all the costs and charges to go to London. I need help with finding how much itd cost normally for a Round Trip to the UK from Oklahoma, USA. How much would a normal hotel cost in London and how much would i need on gifts or souvineers and just daily trips out (if we walk mostly) we will go to cheap places to eat and maybe a few couple expensive spots... Thank You :D

A. Expect to spend around £100 p/d minimum for back[acker accomodation and eating cheaply. Don't bother walking around (even though it's a great way to see London). Transport for the day is around £8p/d. Try this site for free things to do in London http://www.whatsfreeinlondon.co.uk/london_landmarks.html

First-time visitor to Portland OR for two nights with wife. What are the local dining "institutions"?
Q. Never been to Portland Oregon. Going to be there for two nights, staying at a hotel by the Lloyd Center. Wife and I want to visit true "Portland" dining institutions -- anything from dive bars and shacks to fine dining. Also open to suggestions on bars/clubs/entertainment -- basically all the cool stuff a young couple in their 30s would want to do.

A. Three Places instantly come to mind for a romantic weekend:

First: The London Grill at the Benson. Private dinning rooms for two to twenty, table side Caesar Salad Preparation, thousands of bottles of wine to choose from 309 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205-3725. You can ride MAX from Lloyd Center get off at Pioneer Square and walk a few blocks North on Broadway.

From the website:

Second: Huber's for Spanish Coffees and dinner. "Established in 1879, Huberâs is Portlandâs Oldest Restaurant." The link: http://hubers.com/

OH and Jake's! Jake's for crawfish, other fresh fish and beef. Get a bucket of steamers to start.

What religion do you suppose this cluck is? Saudi prince strangled servant at London hotel?
Q. Must be nice to be in the religion of peace.

Ok, ok, as someone on here said the other day: Allie Allie Akbar! I love it.

They think that if they are in the club they can do whatever they want.

Do we want them in the US?

A. I used to go to London for a week every month for business.
I *always* stayed at the Landmark Hotel (near Baker St., right in front of the Marylebone tube station).
As soon as I saw your post I KNEW it had happened there...the place was always full of Saudis.
Sigh.

Oh, and he's muslim.

Peace.
