If I ever get the chance to see parts of the world outside the U.S. the British Isles is where I'd most like to go, first. Im all into the geology there,  and castles and Roman forts. I'm green with envy, DD. Hope all goes well.

I was at Mildenhall and Lakenheath for short TDYs back in the '70s. The good thing about England is you never have to travel very far to get somewhere. That and they speak English, tho in a funny way. For food they would put anything in a pie. I liked the custard tho. The drunken sots in the pubs were a riot to drink with.

Strange that the streets were very clean but the public crappers were not. Anyway I'm sure everything is much more International now 40 years later.

Lot of great history over there. Lot of bad things happening now in public places.
