Only a spider trusts the web, but if you book online, book "my site" instead

I just received the most wonderful of emails from a client. She’d just returned from a trip to London with her 5 and 11 year old daughters, and her mom (grandma).  We had a private driver pick them up at Heathrow, drive them to their hotel, and then had a private tour guide arranged for areas
