Trip to England

Kiyomi and I returned safely from England, and we had even received out luggage by the time we left. Way to go british airways!

During our trip we were able to see a whole lot of northern England. It was great to cover so much distance and see so many places. Really have to send out a big huge thank you to Paula and Dan for all the organization that they did for us. For all the driving they did for us. And of course... for all he Full English Breakfasts that they did for us.

Our first stop was Manchaester... it was great to see it again. We spent some time with Uncle Tony and Aunt Ellen (again.. thanks for the breakfast!) In the last few trips to Manchester I really did not recall seeing the sky, well here it is. Nice blue sky near Ellen and Tonys!



After a quick trip to the trafford center we headed out to Gilberdyke to stay at Dan and Paula's. It was a beautiful drive, seeing parts of the country that either I had never seen, or was too young to remember. In Gilberdyke we headed up to the pub for dinner and I had that great British meal, Fish and Chips (the green stuff is Mushy Peas - great!).



We stayed for a few days with Dan and Paula, which was great. Although their place was flooded out in the floods last month, they made us feel like home. We had some rain during these days, but overall we had some beautiful nights sitting in their conservatory and relaxing. During this time we also got to know one more member of the family. Liniker chan... He is a wonderful and friendly soul.
