Made to England

[drz]

Well, I'm in the UK! So far all is OK. Adjusting the meds with regard to when I take them took a little thought, but no big problems. I brought enough meds for a month. I'm currently near Ely at Mildenhall. The customs people didn't even ask about all my drugs, however, I doubt that many drug mules lay out and neatly label all their drugs.

Hope tour goes great for you. Enjoy!

Hey VDUB!!,
Guess you slipped in under the radar, we could have arranged a welcoming party for you. Ely is about 2hours drive north of me and has a simply wonderful Cathedral. Last summer we visited it and took the tour were you end up on the roof! yes its a must do if you get the opportunity.
If you are contemplating dropping into Mildenhall or p[erhaps Lakenheath then drop me a PM and it would be great to hook up.

Good flying and hope you have a fit and enjoyable time!

We are staying at Lakenheath until 10Apr and then we're going to Paris for a couple days, but we'll be back, The Ely Cathedrals are definitely on our list. There is more stuff than we could do in a lifetime here. The UK is a wonderful country and meeting up to everything I have ever heard about it. Except the food which has traditionally had a bad rap, but I think its wonderful. I really like crumpets -- I have devoured many already. Everything is simply wonderful. I could stay here a long time, but only brought enough drugs for a month. Bummer... I knew I should have brought more.

Let us know what you need, we will get it to you through the Weggie Underground. So glad you are enjoying.

Enjoy your trip Vdub. Brings back many great memories from June last year. We spent 2 weeks in the UK, few days in London, then in Kent with relatives and then a week in Portsmouth near friends. It was all really great despite both of us being ill the entire trip. We managed to do a lot of site seeing. We both LOVE England. Want do make a longer trip in the future and include Scotland and Wales and Ireland. We have friends in Scotland and Wales who have invited us several times. And Ireland will be for genealogy as my husband's ancestors are from there.

I come from Germany so when we go to Europe we always spend at least a month in Germany and it takes that long to visit all the relies

Oh I would LOVE to jump on a plane and head right back there but have been told to have a year off from travelling. I so hope by next year I will be off this pred and game enough to try again

In Kent we enjoyed Canterbury Cathedral. Well worth a visit.

But wherever you go the countryside is beautiful and also so much history. I think I could easily spend a year over there to do it all justice pity it costs so much to travel.

Now Israel is one place I would love to visit too. We made it to Spain last year as I have a cousin there and my brother and his wife live in Madrid so we had a whirlwind tour of spain from Madrid to Almunecar then to Seville and back again. Was great fun. Have never managed Italy or Greece. So much of this beautiful world of ours still left to explore

[vdub]

We drove north to York yesterday. Its a long way! About a 4 hr drive. I have rented a car and experienced driving on the left, but we took a bus to York. It was a long day -- 0600 - 2300. I am paying for it today with a lot of pain., so we'll take today off.

[ingemlb]

Sounds like a wise idea to rest up. Lucky for me driving on the left is what we are used to You may need to plan shorter trips each day to keep well. All the best

[Geoff]

Hi vdub,
Congratulations on your trip to York. You are certainly packing a lot in on your trip. Good day to rest up as its a bit rainy. Forcast is to improve after Monday but I guess you knew that already! Did you get to York Minster yesterday? never been myself but it does look impressive.
How are you getting to Paris this week?

[vdub]

Yes, we did see York Minster, but only for a short time as it was closing for the day. We also saw the "shambles" where some of the shops and houses date back to mediveal periods. And, of course, we walked on the city wall -- kind of humbling to walk on stones that were quarried by Roman legionaires over 2,000 years ago. Anything over 200 years old is ancient in the US. :-)

Renidag, Thanks for the offer on the underground connection. I always carry pred around with me, but I'm probably one of the few weggies that isn't on a regimine of pred, which is probably because I'm on cortef. The most serious drug I would be missing would be dessmopresin, but I'm sure we will be home before it becomes an issue.
