Hello from Texas

I'm Priscilla Waller, married to Lee, we live in Corpus Christi, TX USA. We are planning our second trip to the UK in September. We first came over in 2003.  Because we only had 10 days that we could stay, we spent most of time in London except for a day trip to Bath. My husband was a US Marine Embassy Guard in the 70's and served briefly in London, so he was able to help us make the most of our short time there. This time we are going to drive and see all that we can in 14 days,

I love all things Regency, especially the Duke of Wellington's Peninsular campaign and the 95th Rifles. So we will start our touring in Winchester and then go back to Bath. On to London for 3 days then the next part of the trip is for Lee to design. He loves the great houses of the UK so we will visit as many as we can in 7 days.

Wish us luck driving on the "wrong" side of the road :)

Hi Priscilla!! Welcome to POE!!

Hi Priscilla:  Welcome to POE.  I hope you have a wonderful trip.  We were in England a year and a half ago and drove all around N. Yorkshire mostly.  It was actually easier than I thought it would be.  Ron's right about the roundabouts BTW.  This is a great site to surf around in anticipation of your trip.

I spent some time in ‘Bayside’ near ‘Corpus’ & have fond memories of my time there & esp of visiting the ‘USS Lexington’, now a floating museum. As I remember it was called 'The Blue Ghost'? as it kept returning to port after being reported as sunk! Have fun on the roundabouts & if in doubt take the outside lane!

Best wishes.... Paul
