Finally here!!!

Finally made it to England!!! I was dead tired by the time we got here. I got no sleep on the plane, and got about an hour of sleep on the bus ride to Lakenheath Airforce Base. And then we had to stay up for the rest of the day. 

After we got there we went to the BX and Commisary to get groceries and essentials. Our dorms are pretty good. All but two of us have two rooms to ourselves. And there is one bathroom for 6 of us with one working shower and two working toilets. So, it will be interesting for the next three months. 


Everyone is great! We all get along and there has been a LOT of laughter! Tomorrow is a professional day, so no class. Which is good because we are all at one of the teacher's house watching the Super Bowl. lol Kick-off isn't until 11:00 P.M. But, there is no class. I still have yet to meet my teachers, so tomorrow will be that day. I'm pretty excited about that. Teri Parkerson left me a care package in my room, which was awfully nice. 

As far as traveling goes, I think the plan is to go to Paris, France in two weeks. We have a three day weekend. And this coming weekend we might be going to London. So, we are going to be talking about traveling stuff once we can get over to Lakenheath to see how to get places. 

We have been having a hard time finding things to do. We don't have internet, TV, or a vehicle to get around, and Feltwell is in the middle of NO WHERE!!!! It's like a 8 mi. walk to get into the village of Feltwell but then we have to get out of the base which is another pretty big hike. lol So, we have to depend on other people to get places. 

Oh, it has been snowing here today on and off. And apparently it NEVER snows here. So, people get freaked out! lol We also had our first British Pub experience. It was great. There was no one there, probably because of the snow. But, it was great!!
