Anxiously awaiting departure

Hello friends and family! As you know, I am leaving shortly (as in like 9 hours) to travel and study abroad in the UK. I will be attending the prestigious Oxford University, where I will most likely be studying my butt off, and traveling around Great Britain, Wales, Scotland, and (if funds allow) Ireland. This online journal will be a memoir of my trip and an update of my life for those of you who are not as lucky as I to be flitting around jolly ol' England. I will be sure to include every superfulous detail of my every move and, if I can figure out how, pictures of my journey. It will almost be like you're there with me! (Except that, in actuality, you are sitting in front of a computer screen somewhere in North America...) What can I say, I'm a giver.

But seriously, the plan as of now is to update at least every other day so that you, my dear friends and family, can keep up with my life. Oh, and to give you a place to request souvenirs...

Wish me good luck! Or as the English say "Cheers!"

Hope the flight was uneventful and you got to sit next to someone who was very interesting and wanted to converse the entire way there! Not. Can't wait to hear about your arrival. e

Have a wonderful time, Allison. Oh yeah, and don't forget to squeeze in a just little time for studying while you're there!

Allison, I am so excited for you. Have some clotted cream for me. I know it sounds bad, but it is wonderful (think cross between cream cheese and whipped cream!) I look forward to reading your blog and "living the adventure with you" even though I am in Pittsburgh.
Love you, XOXO Aunt Wendy
