In about 72 hours Philip and I will be on our way to Greensboro to begin our trip to London. I can not believe that the time has come for this incredible trip. I feel so honored to be able to take such a grand trip. I don't really picture myself as the kind of person who travels overseas for vacation. God has truly blessed us with this great opportunity. We are ever grateful to Mindy, (Philip's sister) who is opening up her flat to us as well. Without her, this trip would just be an imagination.
So finally, we sat down Saturday night with our travel books and laptop. We have sketched out our itinerary.
We will arrive Friday morning to London.
After finding Mindy's flat, it's no stopping us! We are going to head to central London. We are going to try out the double-decker buses and tour the city like a local!
Saturday: We are going to take a day trip to Canterbury. We hope to visit the Canterbury Cathedral and St. Augustine's Abbey
Sunday: Worship like a local- somewhere yet to be determined. Check out Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Speaker's corner
Monday: Westminster Abbey, Royal Opera house for a free lunch time concert, and perhaps finishing off with a trip to the theatre.
Tuesday: Aldersgate, John Wesley's home and museum, St. Paul's Cathedral (another free lunch time concert)
Wednesday: Buckingham Palace, National Gallery or British Museum with lunch on the river
Thursday: Day trip to Oxford.
Friday: Depart for home!
As you can see we have purposely not filled our schedule to the max. We wanted to leave ample room for exploring, relaxing, and discovery. We are so excited about this trip and can't wait to post pictures when we return. Pray for us, our parents (who are graciously watching our kids), and the kids!
