The Eve of Departure


I'm not sure if my trip is long enough to merit creating a blog, but it seemed like a fun idea. 

Mostly packed, thinking of things I'm forgetting every five minutes, or so.  Realizing that I'll be much too excited to sleep tonight!

Our flight leaves from Knoxville at 2:20 pm tomorrow.  We will fly from Knoxville to Charlotte, NC, and from Charlotte to Gatwick, ENGLAND!  We should arrive in Gatwick around 7:10 AM on Sunday morning (London time).  Once we arrive in London, we will take a coach to our Bed and Breakfast lodgings in Stratford-upon-Avon. 


I had proudly planned to gradually adjust myself to the time difference over the past few days by going to bed earlier and earlier, but...this did not work out. 

In Stratford, we will be going to see five Shakespeare plays: 
Troilus and Cressida
A Winter's Tale
Comedy of Errors
As You Like It
Julius Caesar 

A special word of thanks to my friend, Sarah Purkey!  She's sent me a great list of must-see's and must-try's while in London and I can't wait to begin checking them off! 

Another word of thanks to my family, for their support and flexibility, without them this trip would not be possible!

Nothing else worth noting tonight. To close family and friends, I will call and write when I can!  Otherwise, I will try to also post here as much as possible to provide those that are curious with an update!
