We made plans to visit London several months ago. And the primary reason for visiting was to see the First Emperor exhibit at the British Museum. I reasoned that it was less expensive to visit London than having to get new visas for China, travel 25 hours, plus more time traveling from Beijing to the original [...]

Sunday was a beautiful day; sunny with puffy clouds and blue sky. We opted to sleep in this day as this was the weekend when England started their summer time schedule. Weren’t we lucky to experience “springing ahead” twice in one month on two different continents?
The time difference between England and Massachusetts was now five [...]

In 2004 we visited England and Scotland. It was our first 10 day vacation. We visited London and Oxford in England and then took a train from Oxford to Edinburgh where we toured the city and took both a day trip and overnight trip to the lower Highlands.
On this visit we focused solely on London and [...]

After a glorious week of just “being” in Santa Fe, we returned home last night around 9:30pm. I can’t recall being in Logan Airport and witnessing such a quiet environment. There were no more outgoing flights on United (at least in our part of the terminal.) There were no vendors selling their wares, except for [...]
