Please help me??

Hello, my second favorite country in the whole world is the UK and I have long admired its people.

I have a niece who recently moved outside of London, Billercay, and she has invited me to come and visit. I will have two teenagers with me, a niece and my oldest grandson.

I have never traveled outside the US and am in great need of some help.

We can only come during school break (June thru Aug). Is there a time when it might be cheaper, airfare wise, or better weather wise?

Any and all information will be quite appreciated and hope to see you next year!! This is a lifelong dream trip.

Billericay is not far from where I live. It's about half an hour train journey from the City of London.

Can't help you with air fares but the weather here is a bit of a lottery! It could be really sunny anytime from June to August but equally it could be raining!

Yes make sure you bring an umbrella!

Hi Linda! Have sent you a PM.

Hello you kind people

After having read and studied up on your country pretty much my whole life (I can even name all six of Henry's wives LOL) I am well prepared for the weather. It is heat I cannot stand so I think I am well set and have such a thick head of hair, naturally curly, so I do not need to worry about my hairdo.

Jackie, how thrilled I am to hear from you! I just answered your pm and am hoping that we can correspond and possibly meet next year. Maybe we can have a great big DIS meet on your side of the pond.

Mr-D, they say that familiarity breeds contempt and it is possible that you might know more about some things American than I do. I have relatives that live in Indianapolis and had never been to the Indy 500 and I lived near Churchill Downs and never went to the Kentucky Derby. When you live nearby something you tend to put off seeing it cause it will 'always' be there. LOL

I am a student of history and you have more of it than we do.

When I walk on ground trod on by the accomplished I feel their spirits and honor their memory. When I touched one of the clay soldiers of China I felt something that was on Earth when Jesus walked here and felt it in my heart.

Mushy but true. Is not only the cold stones of history that I yearn to see and touch but to meet the people who have accomplished so much in the history of the world and with such spirit and tenacity. I truly admire the English people. (that being said I would avoid marryng any of your royalty)
