9 days in England.

We left for England on Jan. 20. The U.S. installed the socialist govt. while we were driving to Boston Logan arpt. We rode in a Boeing 777 and traveled at 728 mph on the way over. Not a bad place to visit temps in the 30's, sunny. Lots of old stuff to see and trains to ride on. Riding on the wrong side of the road is scarry. Very few stop signs and lots of traffic circles. The roads are not as wide as ours and the residential streets are very curvey. The commuter rail system runs on time and most roads pass over the tracks so there are very few crossings. The trains don't sound their horns at all, anywhere. Tooting your car horn is against the law unless it's an emergency. No light beer in the Pubs either. Very little in the stores. We only went 540 mph on the way back. The jet stream hurt us but we landed sooner than scheduled. The snow and rain the day before made a mess of the drive way. I broke up an inch of ice under the snow.I did finally get the refund from an ebayer while we were there. 5 months of badgering. I saw two plane kits on ebay like the ones I have won. I paid 48 for one and the second sold for 176. Another I paid 92 for and it went for 126. I didn't snipe either.
