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. |
