hey Rick, its so kool to read this because I watched you doing it and

I also learned the hard way on my Berlin trip that its easily 5 times
cheaper to travel by train if you get the ticket 10 days in advance

not bring as much green plastic as Rick did
:-)
yes, and there are looong stairs in the London Underground...
