Off to England. Volcano permitting, I will be going to England to visit Princess Katarina then the south east coast from Brighton to Dover. At Dover castle we hope to visit the tunnels in the Dover cliffs which were part of the English defense for WWII, then a day trip to Calais to see the German bunkers. Both remain exactly as they were at the end of the war. Then more time in East Anglia around Canterbury, finally back to London for an appointment with a Herald of the Royal College of Arms. I will be traveling with Lt. Col. Doughlas Files MD, USAF who is a French scholar and while he's traveled a lot in Europe, has never been to the UK, so he gets a tour guide and I get a personal physician!!! Back by June 1.

Roger, have a great trip. AND, good luck with the volcano....Jerry and I were In IRELAND, when the volcano erupted.....we were "stranded" in Ireland for an additional week! Fortunately, when our flights were cancelled, we found a wonderful B&B in Swords (5 minutes from Dublin Airport) and within walking distance to great restaurants, fun pubs and, even, an enclosed, curbside mall! We continued playing tourist for the extended time and had so much fun. Due to the confusion of flights, created by the airport closings, etc., we were unable to fly back into JFK on our way home to Atlanta, so flew into Orlando. Couldn't get a flight out of Orlando, so we rented a car and drove home! The USA, certainly, never looked so great, as upon our return! Have fun!
