Okay so I finally got all my ducks in a row about when move-in is for the University of Durham. September 26th, 2007 is when it starts. So I decided...better get my ticket before prices go up! So I'm flying out from Minneapolis, and there are no flights that go from Minneapolis to Newcastle (which is the closest airport). So I look at London and Edinburgh to see which one is cheaper...and the answer is London! Okay, so I'm buying my ticket ($609 Yikes!...round-trip though...) and I'm flying i...

Hello my fellow travellers. It seems that my trip has been cut short and my sister and brother and I have come home early. On saturday, we got a call from my mother that my grandmother had passed away unexpectedly. Needless to say there was a rush of emotions, especially since we had almost arrived at the Rez.

The most fun was when we pretended to freak out as Lauren drove down the ...
