Whooo hooo, School's Out

For us, anyways :)

So, Chris and I will be coming home sooner than previously expected, everyone! YAY! We booked the tickets tonight for home for June 6. So exciting! Our new plan:

We fly out of Turkey on May 22 (holy crap that's coming up soon!) to London. We got a fabulous deal through Thomas Cook Airlines, but two downsides to that: 1) the baggage allowance is non-existent. literally. and 2) it arrives in London at 11:59PM. So we will be staying in a B&B for that night, then taking a bus to Hereford to visit Yvonne. Awesome girl, she's letting us stay for a week and showing us around England. After staying with her for a bit and relaxing (and catching up on gossip, of course!), as well as stocking up on pork, cheese, and good English ale, we're planning on renting a car to drive up through England toward Hadrian's Wall and Scotland, just taking our time and lots of pictures.

Next stop will be Edinburgh, Scotland, for a couple or few days, depending on funds and time. I'm really excited to see Edinburgh, it sounds so pretty and we have so many fun things that we're going to try and see. I'm sure we'll be blogging about it later.

After Edinburgh, we'll fly to Dublin on June 5 just for one night, mostly because we can't afford to stay any longer, but it'll give us time to at least see downtown for one day. We'll do Ireland right when we have more time and money. June 6 we fly out and we'll be in Chicago a little after 3PM! wow.

So, hope to see everyone soon after we get back and get on American time! And aren't you all proud of how short this is?!
