This blog has been dormant since our last trip to europe in 2014.
Today marks Day 10 in my countdown to my first trip to the UK in almost 20 years.
May 14th I hop a Transat flight to Gatwick which will hopefully get in on time.
My plan is to get to Durham in time for "tea" on May 15th and maybe get a plate of fish and chips
( the day being Friday)
Saturday it looks like I will be joining my cousin Stuart to see a Premier League game in which Sunderland boots Leicester's arse right out of the park!!
Then maybe 10 days hanging around with my cousins, exploring the places where I grew up for 9 or 10 days before hopping a train to Edinburgh where I will join a Haggis Adventures 5 day tour of Scotland.
My last trip home I was blown away my how much had changed since my previous visit home
( 1978?) Who knows if I will even recognize anything.
When I checked Google Maps they had messed up the names and addresses of most places in my home town. My childhood home was a full street off with the completely wrong house number, even though you could see the "15" as plain as day on the front door.
Let's hope my sense f direction is a little better than Google's when I finally make it home.

You must be too busy reminiscing with the cousins to update! You're going to forget everything you did!
Can only mean you are having a good time.
