England In Two Weeks!

Last night I made the totally spontaneous decision to accompany my dad on his trip to England in...yes...two weeks! I mentioned when I first started this blog that I had been thinking about going but had to can the idea after discovering a rather annoying medical condition. Well, it turns out that I can't get the treatment this summer as I first thought meaning that there is no reason why I shouldn't go except for the unexpected chunk it will take out of my bank account. But hey, what's money but a material nuisance? Plus, I made such wonderful memories in both Japan with Trin, and in St. Louis with Ayumi (both which cost me an arm and a leg), so really, what is another thousand if I am going to have a great time?? (I am verbally reasoning with myself here - bear with me!!) It will also be lovely for my grandma as it is her 80's birthday and all of the relatives will be there. The best part is that my dad and I have opted not to tell anyone I'll be going, and surprise my grandma on her doorstep! Haha. It'll be hilarious!

So, in case anyone is curious about the plan, dad and I will probably stay in Wolverhampton for about two weeks, celebrate grandma's birthday, and for the last four weeks, use our cottage in Aberdovey as a base as we pop off to different areas around Wales. Being 21, I pretty much have the option of heading off by myself if dad feels like sticking around Aberdovey doing nothing, so one option I am playing with in my head is Scotland. What do you guys think? Any other places you've heard about in England that might be worth visiting? :-)

So yeah! I'm really excited! Hopefully I can post while I'm over there but from what I've heard, I may not have much access to a PC. But who knows, eh. ^^

ohh wow so you're going after all! That'll be great ^_^ Just remember to keep blogging to us while you're over there (I'm sure you can find a computer somewhere lol)

Also while you're there, maybe you could scope out which relatives would be the best for us to stay with when we do our Europe trip? Maybe that's wayyy too far in the future but I'm still thinking about it lol XD

Don't worry, Trin! Most if not all of my relatives would be more than happy to have us! :-) England will be the easy part - it's the rest of Europe we REALLY have to plan out. Hehe. I hope my camera doesn't conk out on me while I'm over there...it's been showing signs of death for the past few weeks and I'm getting kinda worried!
