T Minus

Saturday.  Nerves a little frayed.  Trying to eat all the food that is in our refrigerator. Last load of laundry in the states.

We have more electronic gadgets and wires that you can possibly imagine. Everything we own except our underwear has a passcode and a username.  Sometimes the username is your email address - sometimes it isn't? OY!  Heck we even needed a special card to do our laundry today.

Declan here - This to all of my classmates.  Its Saturday and I haven't left yet.  And what my Mom said is true - its unbelievable how many cords, cards and codes we need.  Please don't tell me that is alliteration or I think my head will explode.  I'll be contacting you later this week when we get to England. Declan out.

  1. Have an AMAZING trip! We expect regular posts, and regular SKYPE sessions, too. What memories. Don't forget to visit the Royal Household Calvary Barracks. It is in Hyde Park and you can watch them as they run drills and also as they ride across the park for Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. It is awesome!
