1) I enjoyed so much about this trip! What I did enjoy was getting to know everyone and seeing all the sights. Its great to experience sights with people that you have grown close with. 

2) I didn't enjoy the food... I really missed eating a good salad! 

3) What I suggest for next year, I think that florida southern should book the hotels because the hotel in Bath was very nice but the other ones were not so great. 

4) I suggest students should make the most out the trip. Have fun and meet people, dont be afraid to talk to others its cool to learn about the different cultures. Students should make sure and bring comfy shoes and warm clothes. 

I had a great time on the trip and I would love to do it again! 

Good-bye England... Hello AMERICA!

Good-bye England…Hello AMERICA! June 4

This morning I woke up early for the last time… I am sleeping in when I get to my bed. I packed my cloths last night so I wouldn’t have to worry about packing early in the morning. We made our way outside with our luggage and said good-bye to our new friend J. J was an awesome guy who worked at the hotel. The hotel was gross but the people that worked there were so cool!  I will miss J a lot. We traveled to the airport on the bu. I will not be missing the bus I can’t wait to drive in my car and not have to take a bus. The check in process was a lot easier then it was in the USA. Security, however, was awful! I had to stand in line for 20 minutes and then on top of waiting forever, they had to go through and check my bag.  I finally got through security and Dani and I went to Costa and got our last cup of Costa coffee. Im going to miss Costa I loved their coffee. We then boarded the plane and were lucky enough to get our own row.  Dani, of coarse passed out within three seconds of the plan ride but I stayed up the whole time. I couldn’t fall asleep. When we landed there was a big sigh of relief to finally be home. Everyone chanted America. It was very funny. We went through custom and my guy said welcome home! I was very excited to get bags, get on the bus, and drive to my condo. Unfortunately, the bus didn’t come for two hours because someone told them the wrong date. It was very frustrating, but we made it to Florida southern. Dani and I then got my car and we drove to my condo to spend the night. It was a very long day, but im glad to be home. 

Touring London... Jeff style

Touring London…Jeff style. May 31

This morning we all got up early, once again, and headed over to St. Paul’s cathedral for mass. It was a beautiful cathedral and mass was awesome! I’m so glad I went and experienced that.  That was one of the things I really wanted to do while I was in London. After mass we went back to our hotel to change and Jeff told us he was going to take Dani and I on a tour of London. We hopped on the train and went and saw Big Ben. I absolutely loved Big Ben it was around 4:00 so we all got to hear the bells from Big Ben. I took a ton of pictures! After that we saw parliament, and the London eye. We also saw Buckiem Palace! I was so excited to see the palace I have always wanted to see it! Jeff did an awesome job as a tour guide for Dani and I, he answered every question we had and he took us to all the right spots. Im glad I got my tourist stuff out of the way. 

High Tea at Harrods

High Tea at Harrods May 29

Yes darling… we had high tea at Harrods. This was such a great experience I loved every minuet of it! Dani, Courtney and I got up early this morning, just like every other morning. I feel like I never get to sleep in, which is a shame because I love sleeping in. Anyways, we got up and hopped on the train and headed over to the wonderful Harrods. It is an awesome place it has everything! Prada, Burberry, Gucci. You name it and they have it. As we walked into the store my mouth was drooling. I wanted everything in that store! We ended up going to the gift shop to get our parents some little souvenirs; I think my mom will enjoy the Harrods bag I got her. Are Teatime was at 3 30 and we were all so excited. We went up to the top floor and it was so beautiful. We were seated at an elegant table and there was a man playing the piano. A man came over and waited on us, every time our drink or sandwiches were empty they would come right away and refill them. The tea was very good and the scones were delicious. It was such a lovely afternoon!  I can’t wait to come back and do it again someday.  

First Day in London

First day in London May 28

We have arrived!! Im so excited to be in London! So it wasn’t that long of a bus ride, which was a nice change of pace. When we arrived in London we quickly put down our stuff in the hotel room. Let me say this is a gross hotel… once again. After we put our luggage down a bunch of us went to Primark. Primark is a lovely store; it has tons of cloths and shoes for little money. It was a mad house; there were so many people in the store. I have never seen a store so packed in my life.  After the store we went to a Mexican restaurant. The Mexican restaurant was good but im tired of eating Mexican food, we have had it so much lately.  After the Mexican food we went back to the hotel. Emily, Dackota, Dani, and I went to a Hookah bar. This was my first experience at a Hookah bar and I thought it was a lot of fun.  We met a lot of cool people at the Hookah bar we met French boys, Swedish boys, and English boys. Yeah it was fun J After the Hookah bar we walked back to our hotel and a group of people stopped us and asked if we wanted to go to a club with them. Surprisingly, we all went and had a blast. There was a huge line out the door to get into the club but Cameron (the guy we met) got us right in. He had connections. At 2 am we were all tired and headed back to the hotel. This was such a fun day!
