Day 6 Normandie- A Day of Reflection

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

We started our day at the D Day / 9/11 Memorial.

By the way this was presented and maintained, we could tell how much the French people appreciated the sacrifices that were made for freedom.

There were also many artifacts sent from New York to help people realize the sacrifices still being made to maintain freedom around […]

Day 5 Warwick Breakfast, Stonehenge and Ferry to Normandie

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

We woke up from a ‘refreshing’ sleep in the tents of Warwik and even got to shower.

Day 4 Oxford Warwick Castle

Everyone was on time so we didn’t get to hear any sleepy renditions of “The Sound of Music”, the agreed upon penalty for tardiness. Our […]

Day 1 in London

Monday, July 28th, 2008

We made it here with no incident after being rebooked on British Air, which I’d recommend to anyone who flies here. Even the food was good

Sleeping on a plane is never good, unless you’re in 1st class. But my travel partner Rebecca took advantage of 4 open seats in a row

I put many […]
