Have fun, and don't be shy about asking for discounts. They're often not much but hey, discounts are nice. I think many hotels offer them, etc etc. 

As long as James' online persona isn't too grating or too much of an ass, after all, I can't give Sasha a reason to stick around with a jerk online when she could easily just find someone else to do the quest with. But I do think we could skip to them in London, after being away for several years. It would be nice for them to know each other in real life before they uncover their online selves also know one another. What if we had them interact a bit online prior to the big quest? Or we could say those who signed up were randomly generated to have their opposite partner be assigned to them. Would that work for you?

Also, I'm assuming James and Sasha would sort of stay together the rest of freshmen year and probably sophomore? Do you think they'd take a break during junior year only to get back together for senior and then break up for Sasha's college overseas?
