I’m back from my gallivanting around the United Kingdom. As mentioned in the previous post, a friend and I decided to do a Scottish adventure. And in the midst of planning how to get there, I decided that I really needed to finally experience London. Long story short, I ended up booking a frequent-flyer award ticket from my hometown of… Read more »
