Trip to England!

Kevin and I will be leaving for our trip to England this Tuesday, May 25th. I can't wait! We will be staying with my cousin Rita and her husband Alan in Middlesex most of the time, but we will also be making a short trip to Cornwall to visit the town where I used to live when I was a kid. I haven't been back there since we left almost 24 years ago, but from what I've heard, things haven't changed much! We will be staying at a lovely bed and breakfast in Cornwall and taking day trips by train from there. I ordered 4-day train passes for us, so we can travel anywhere we want around England. Kevin also wants to go to the RAF museum, so that will be one of the places on our agenda. I love London. Everything is just so expensive, and the exchange rate is terrible for us. But I don't care right now--I haven't been back since '99, and after this year of so much stress, I need a trip desperately!

We will unfortunately be able to stay only 10 days, as we both have to be back for when summer classes begin on June 7th. Kevin is continuing with classes at Ozarks Technical Community College this summer, working towards a degree in electronics technology, and I have to take classes for my teaching certification at SMSU. My Tuesday-Thursday class starts at 7:30AM (ouch!), but I'm done by noon every day and have no classes on Fridays. I will also be in the office part-time to develop the four new French classes I will be teaching in the fall, so it won't be a completely relaxing summer. But hey, at least I get a chance to go away for a while. Kevin's parents are planning their first visit here in June as well, another thing to look forward to. I will also be going to Las Vegas over the 4th of July weekend for my friend Angie's bachelorette party, which should be a lot of fun! This job does have its benefits. ;)
