Tuesday, 12/25/2007 We’ve arrived! (London Heathrow airport, 1 pm, GMT) We met our good friend, Davin, and our soon-to-be good friend, Trent, at the London Heathrow airport. From the airport, we took a bus to Paddington Station, which was a short walk from our Days Inn hotel. Upon check-in, we discovered that our hotel room Read More »
For breakfast, I had what Michelle normally has, which isn’t incredibly different from my own. She has a cup of English tea and a crumpet with some jam. I selected Apricot Jam, which was to become a pattern anytime I was given a choice. I became a fan of the crumpet, which apparently is very Read More »

We hadn’t really known what to do today, the weather was poor and buses not as frequent because it’s a Sunday, but our host came to the rescue. He is going into Alnwick today to feed his daughter’s fish, so offers us a lift! This saves us calling a taxi and means we can have Read More »
Well, we’ve made it to London! After a delay in the flight from L.A. to S.F., we made it on time to London in the morning. We decided to save some money and take the tube into London, rather than spending money for a fancy train. WE took the Picadilly Line right to Russel Square Read More »
After our morning Eurostar fiasco, we arrived in London: the land of the football (soccer) crazed fans, C’mon England! I became an England fan in 2002 during my first trip to Europe and we were in London during that World Cup (held that year in Korea, but Leicester Square was insane). We didn’t have any problems adjusting Read More »
Day 1: Today was nice, as we didn’t have to get up at 7am. We treated ourselves to an 8.30 breaky, which we hadn’t done since Edinburgh. We departed on the Jacobite Steam Train, which apparently features in a Harry Potter movie, along side the Glenfinnan viaduct. I don’t do Harry Potter. This place is Read More »
We checked out of our hotel in Paris earlyish and made our way to the airport. As we were checking in we ran into a Canadian couple from Invermere who were traveling around Europe on their honeymoon. We started chatting with them and managed to keep talking to them until we arrived in central London. Of Read More »
As you all know, thanksgiving was a little over a week ago and since I could not spend it with my biological family in Texas, Gen and I decided to cross the English Channel and spend Thanksgiving with our southwestern family in London. We have quite a few friends in London this semester because our Read More »
Before arriving in Glasgow, we took a small detour …the opposite way, infact, to Dollar, where we visited Castle Campbell. Once we arrived in Dollar, we had to go for a walk up Dollar Glen to get there, but that place is just as fantastic as visiting the castle itself. It was a bit boggy, Read More »
