Yes, Ma and Pa Devers are on their way to Philadelphia as I type. They’ll be boarding the plane later this evening and arriving at Heathrow in the morning. Stay tuned for updates! It’s going to be an early morning tomorrow.
We have a few things planned. Not sure what all we’ll get done but this is a possible preview: Hampton Court Palace, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, Greenwich, they will also be going to Stonehenge and Bath as well as the same trip Jamie and I took back in October. We’re also going to try and check out the new shopping centre in West London. It’s the largest in Europe. That’s scheduled for Friday, need to feed Mom’s craving for shopping on Black Friday!
Update on things, I have 20 days left in London. This time in three weeks I should be nearing Philadelphia International. How exciting!! Still lots of work to get done before that time is up. Wish me luck!

I feel like I have spent the last two days on a train! Yesterday, Friday, I board a Southeastern train to Dover. Dover was one of the musts that I had on my list to do. It is a small, unattractive town on the east coast of England. It is just across the English Channel from France. In fact you could see parts of France from the lookouts (check out the pictures). It is also famous for its white cliffs. The ground there is white and very chalky. And it is also known for Dover Castle. The complex was magnificent. I received a tour through the underground tunnels there used during World War II and spent the rest of the time meandering around the castle. There are many pictures so be sure to check them out! After that it was a train ride back to London where I later met up with a friend that was in town for the night.
This morning I hoped back on the Underground and journeyed to Heathrow Airport, ironically most of the journey is above ground. On the return trip I had some extra baggage. JAMIE CAME!! I was so excited to see her and can’t believe she is actually here. We have spent the rest of the afternoon getting settled and checking out my flat. She is absolutely exhausted right now and is sound asleep in our hotel room. Later this evening we’ll grab a bite to eat and after that it’s a night out on the town! Can’t wait!
Tomorrow we’re going to check out Tower Bridge and that section of town they at noon we will be taking a flight on the Eye and after that a trip to Greenwich to the Prime Meridian. Stay tuned for more updates!
