This time, 11 days from now...

...we'll be arriving at Dulles for our flight to London! You can't possibly begin to understand how excited I am. We've been planning this trip for, what, four years now, and it's such an understatement to say that I'm READY. Every time I think about seeing those familiar sights, and possibly visiting Kingston-upon-Thames, the town in which I lived for a year, I actually start to get choked up. My stay there wasn't always easy, but the bad memories have definitely faded into the background as time has passed, and all I remember is what a wonderful, emancipating experience it was. Here are some pics of my old uni town:


Kingston Bridge, with the John Lewis department store in the background. This pic was taken not too far from the dorm where I lived.


Kingston-upon-Thames, a shopper's haven. A lot of the central part of town was pedestrianised.

The lovely, traditional English market.

The Penrhyn Road campus of Kingston University, where most of my classes were.
