London Is Calling - The Month of July

Buckingham Palace - Queen Victoria Memorial

Parliament - Big Ben

This is the 11th year Lulu is teaching a summer course at the FSU Study Centre in London. It gets hot and humid in Tallahassee in July - and London is a great release from the summer heat. 

The FSU London Campus is just down the street from the British Museum. Her one month course will be attended mostly by students from Florida State. It is a series of field trip incorporating the sights and sounds of England in the curriculum. 

Lulu just booked a flight for me using frequent flyer miles on Delta Airlines. We will stay at an apartment near campus provided by FSU. In the past - we paid extra for a larger apartment. This year we will be staying in a standard apartment. 

In order to use my frequent flyer miles instead of cash - I had to fly from London to Detroit to Atlanta to Tallahassee. It will take a few hours longer - but it is always better to spend FF miles than cash. Also - I look on the positive side - 4 chances to get bumped. Lulu's flight is covered by FSU. Yes - she will be flying a straighter flight home. 

While in London - we are planning a 4 day weekend trip to Norway - and another one to Blackpool. Blackpool is an old fashioned seashore city near Liverpool. Norway will be a flight - but Blackpool will be a train trip.

Here are my flights - 3 flights over to London - 4 flights back.
