You mentioned Westminster Abbey. We owe a lot to many of the bones encased there.
One thing that I would like to do some day is to follow the Thames upriver to the Isis and the springs that are its source. There's a lot of old Roman sites in the area that have been neglected all this time.

It's on the list, Jeanie might get mad once we spend much of the day there, but I have always and I mean always wanted to go there.

Everyone who has ever been with this group including our former pastors daughter have all said the same that it is indeed something she will remember and treasure forever!
She plans on going on the trip to Australia the following summer.

Great minds think alike. Autralia is next on my list to visit. I had planned on going 2009 after saving some money in 2008 and early 2009. However I ended up running into that fabulous deal going to Hawaii and then cruising back to LA at the end of January beginning of February in a couple of months and all my plans went awry. Now I will be lucky to pull it off in 2010.

Is this your first trip to these parts? Or have you traveled that area before?

This sounds like quite the trip - with or without Rome.

We might have to get with you to go to Sinapore, Malayasia, I have an open invite there to do some teaching. You could do a short flight to Australia.

Keith,
I agree about the British Museum. My boys thought it was cool seeing the Rosetta stone when we went there. I forgot to put it on my list.
Also depending on what exhibits they have going at the time the Royal Albert Museum can be good and also the Science museum.

She is eligible for scholarships for the trip also as long as she keeps up her grades so I have told her that I cannot afford it every year for all of them so at least 1 or 2 or even all 3 of them need to get the grades if they want to go!!! LOL

Keith, The Mona Lisa is just through the tunnel a few hrs away from London.

At least in India a 100 dollars goes far, 6.00 for hotel, 75 cents for a small meal, 3 dollars for an elaborate feast. Anyway a little goes far. I think I might be able to get the Taj Mahal in on this trip, we are reserving 3 days for Sight Seeing.
