;D

Seriously, though, he had to get a $2500 scholarship to make the London trip affordable. In other words, the trip has to be free for CB to go.

On a sidenote, I was just about to post the exact same thing that prime did...

I'll try, but i think our itinerary is pretty tight, and it's for class credit, so I have to stick with the plan. I'm not sure how much time they'll give us for free roaming.

I know for sure that we'll be visiting at least the Tower of London, the palace, some castles, and we'll be taking day trips to Stonehenge, and to Statford.

My father visited when he was in the navy, and he told me that the best way to see the city was to tell a cab driver to show you all of the best stuff. I don't think I'll be doing that.

Hope you're having fun dude!!

:ukflag:

I went to Spain a few years ago and I loved it. I hope to get back to Europe some time in the future. Since I'm a history buff its just too cool to see places that have been there for 1000s of years when the US has only be a country for a mere 227 years.
