Wales, UK Trip 2012

It was down to:
A) Trip to the UK
B) Go see Aerosmith this summer
C) Get a OME lift kit

I choose A...
I left the States March 2nd from Chicago and arrived at London Heathrow Airport March 3rd about 6:30ish AM...that is 5 hours ahead of EST.
I have been staying with a family I have known for a while. Everything is going good so far. I have seen 7 Jeeps so far and all in Wales. 4 Liberties, 1 Grand Cherokee, 1 Commander and 1 Patriot. Friday I'm going to hunt down a Cardiff Jeep Dealership and have a look at some Jeeps. Yesterday (Monday) I snapped a few photos of police cars and had a chat with a policeman here. I only have one Jeep picture.
There is no way I could live here. Food is different, everything is small and I miss home. McDonalds here is worse than it is back home in Kentucky. Coca Cola (regular) tastes like diet that is flat. I haven't eaten well the past few days cause of food change. Good thing is Sprite with some ice tastes about the same back home. I cannot wait to get back home. At first I said I dread the 8 hour flight back to the US, now I welcome it with open arms!!!
Yes I have had fun, but this is not home for me. I miss my Dachshund Greta, my Jeep and my family/friends in the states. Can't believe I'm counting the days till I go home!!! Here are a few pictures from the past few days.

Sarah,
hope the rest of you stay pick's up. Yes the weather over here isn't very good at the moment. I am sure you will get to see more Jeep's around in Cardiff, but Land Rover is King over here Jeep are a bit more scarse. Shame you can't find some offrad action as you are in the best part of the country to go offrading, Walse.
Fil.

Thanks...I'm sure it will. My friend is bringing me back a pizza on his way home from work. I'm staying up till he gets here which will be 10pm, roughly. I gained 5hrs of time so sleep and time is off. But they have the equivalent of Zyrtec here that helps my allergies and helps me sleep.
