Ebony (and Scott) in England

[Scott]

Hi everybody!

I'm so excited for you Ebony!

Here's my itinerary in brief:
 
"30 June 2001  Leave US (Chicago O'Hare), 5 p.m. Central Time (6 EST)
1 July 2001  Arrive UK (London Heathrow), 7 a.m. GMT"

--I fly into the UK (Gatwick) at 7ish (in the am) on June 30th, and 
depart July 29th. 

Since I'm a minor I'm a bit more restricted than Eb, but still want 
to meet. I just need a responsible adult to sign me out of the 
programme I'm in. (Responsible adults in this group? Hmmm...) ;-)
Anyways I can probably work something out without having to try and 
burden anyone. 

I'll be staying at either Corpus Christi, Pembroke, or St. Peter's 
but will not find that out until early June. I also know that there 
will probably be trips to various museums in London and Oxford etc., 
and I know we're supposed to visit Lord Saye and Sele (I think. Is 
that name familar anyone?) for dinner(?). I won't get an exact 
schedule until I get there though.


"According to our listserv, several group members are planning 
weekend side trips to Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam... some 
alumni of the Detroit/Oakland Corpus Christi program made it all the 
way to Rome and back last year before class resumed on Monday.  My 
funds are not limitless, so I'm not sure if I can afford to do much 
traveling  outside of the UK.  I trust God will let me see Paris and 
Amsterdam  in His time... it's not all that pressing."

--Have I ever mentioned I didn't like Paris? (I'm sure I have) I 
don't think it's that long a trip if you take the chunnel. By all 
means though if you can get to Italy take me too! (Hey! I threw a 
coin in the Trevi fountain...) I fell in love with the place when I 
was there last year. I understand that it's a bit of a stretch (funds 
and time) to go to Italy for the weekend but it sure is fun. 

"In addition, I'll need to purchase texts and odds and ends like 
washing powder. And your pound seems to beat the stuffing out of our 
poor dollar... I was horrified when I realized that it currently 
takes $1.60 to make a single pound!" 

--I don't care how much I travel in the future I don't think I'll 
ever get used to foreign currency. It's so confusing. It's probably 
easier if you don't even try to understand it. (Hey Britons! Was it 
that hard you coming to the US?) 

3)  Any chance of meeting any UK listies?  It's time to make definite 
 plans... I've met Penny already, so it's time to meet some more of 
you!

--Like I said I'm up for whatever. Just let me know!
