sunshine 2 #1 March 13, 2003 I have a flight booked to go visit SkydiveMonkey in merry ole England. I mentioned the trip to my mother and she freaked out and told me not to leave the country right now. Should i be worried about that? I'm really not trying to start a thread about war, but after talking to my mama, i'm kinda scared. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Only 70 miles from London, and close by the huge aviation museum at Duxford. Don't forget also to visit the Tower.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

sunshine 2 #9 March 13, 2003 QuoteJeez is this a spur of the moment trip? Have you ever been to england? Skydivemonkey invited me over for his bday. I would be there for a week. I'd prolly spend a few days doing the tourist thing, then go jumping. Since i don't pay much attention to the war threads, i didn't know if traveling outta the country was a good idea or not right now. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

kmcguffee 0 #10 March 13, 2003 Quotei didn't know if traveling outta the country was a good idea or not right now. Check with the State Department. They issue travel advisories for different areas of the world. I don't think the UK is included in a warning right now.

Remster 24 #25 March 13, 2003 So all it takes to get you to visit is to pretend its a birthday! Good move Monkaaaaayyyyyy! lol And yes, you have to visit the Skreaming one.... but carefull, he hasnt been with Woolie in a while, he might be a bit aggressive... My personaly faves in the Lonon area were the Tower, and Candem Lock Market. The land of the Scotches was beautifull, but bring your rubber boots (not for the sheep, for the rain, you pervs) Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
