We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
We did not have an easy beginning to our trip. Despite changing our flight to one two hours earlier, our plane to Dallas was delayed by the Monday storms. Why we couldn’t just leave during a tornado I don’t know, but by the time we made it to Fort Worth our plane to London had …

One hotel, two days, three flights (separate security for each), and about forty hours later, the Baltimore 11 finally made it to London! Although things did not go quite according to plan—thank you, Arkansas weather—we arrived just in time to get a quick nap and shower in before our plans for the evening with the …
“THUD THUD THUD”, the resounding sound of my luggage hitting against each tile stair echoed throughout the underground tunnels. We had just completed our 9 hour plane ride and left the London airport. At baggage claim we then debated on whether taking a coach to take us to the hotel or on taking the tube. …
We’ve been in London for just over 48 hours and it feels like a week. In the best way possible, of course! We had a bit of a bumpy start, as over half of our study abroad group was not able to arrive until a day later than planned due to weather and flight issues, …
Currently listening to: “American Boy” by Estelle (ft. Kanye West) After a quick trip (I say not at all sarcastically) I have finally arrived in London! This city is like no other I have ever experienced. It’s what I imagine New York to be like… if New York had nicer people and less trash. Though …

‘Ello everybody! I’m in London! But you already knew that. A little less than half of us arrived here on the originally scheduled flight and had to take the tube to the hotel. I’ve been to London before, but I had partially forgotten certain things about the tube. I remembered to tap in and tap …
After a somewhat stressful journey we have finally arrived in London! Already I have noticed some very interesting cultural differences, although some of these may be less about the country and more about the environment of a very large city, which I am not familiar with. One of the big differences I immediately noticed was …
I actually cannot believe that I am writing my first London blog post. I have been looking forward to this trip for months and I can’t believe I’m finally here. Because of all of the travel debacle of our group getting separated, I became a part of the Dallas Eight, as Shawn has lovingly called …
My introduction to the tube was not what we originally intended. Due to storms in Fayetteville Sarah and I (the grad students) along with 6 undergrad students were the only ones who made it to Heathrow on the originally scheduled flight. The rest of our crew had 40 hours of additional travel that they fought …
What a whirlwind first couple of days in London! It started with a bit of a fiasco. Over half of our group got stuck stateside due to weather delays, but I was one of the lucky few who made it onto the original flight. Since not everyone had made it across the pond (and neither …
