Rachel Flying Away

Tomorrow night, Rachel flies to London for a semester abroad through her school, James Madison University. She'll have limited class time and will be going on many sponsored field trips throughout the country (and Paris!), including seeing nine(!) West End shows. When she's done she'll have earned her Minor in British Media and Communications.

Basically, this is a dream come true for her. She's been an Anglophile for years and living in London has been one of her goals for a long time. She's well prepared and organized for the trip, unlike some of her classmates who this very evening were texting her with questions about using credit cards in England. Oy.

During her spring break in March, her boyfriend will be visiting and they're going to Ireland and Germany together. Then in April, Carol, Ben and I are visiting for ten days. It's an exciting time for all of us.

Bon Voyage, Rachel.
