    When your in MA make sure you go to Cape Cod for a day and just lay on the beaches, it will be the most peaceful feeling in the world!

    England

    Hi Kyle

    I’ve been to England – It’s no big deal….(he he)

    Travel tip: Hire a car, head North, call me when you cross the Forth Bridge, and I’ll buy you the best pint you ever tasted.

    Seriously, have a great time (but don’t drink the water, or anything to do with Tetley’s)

    and before anyone spills the beans, yes, both my parents are English (bummer).

    Up North

    Hi Kyle

    That would be great! It would be brilliant to meet you. Where are you planning on going and when?

    I live in the village of Colinsburgh in Fife, about 10 miles from St Andrews, just across the water from Edinburgh. Let me know your plans and I’ll do what I can to make it happen.

    Here’s a map:

    European Geography for beginners…

    Kyle, here’s a tip – Amsterdam is in Holland. That’s part of the big bit to the South of England, across the Channel. Scotland is attached (worst luck) and in the other direction..you pass it on the way to Norway…Here endeth European Geography 101

    It can be quite easy to get lost however, last week I took a wrong turning off the A1 and ended up in Indonesia. Don’t worry if you get lost though, most Europeans speak better English than the English (with the possible exception of the Swiss for some reason), and can quote great chunks of the Simpsons, Friends and the West Wing. Many seem to think they are completely interchangeable…..

    How far…

    Okay

    Start from here:

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en … iwloc=addr

    and zoom out.

    About 500miles from London, 300 from Manchester, and 600 from Amsterdam.
