It's better than a kick in the nuts...

Vinnie Jones (aka Big Chris from 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels') is a classic example of an English Football star. He once was kicked out of a game for punching an opponent in the face (3 seconds into the game) and here is the infamous picture of when he 'distracted' Paul Gascoigne. That's just the players...and people ask us why we're not going to be hanging out with the English hooligans in Germany.

Fact of the matter is, we're only 7 days away from our flight to Germany! If you have any requests for gifts or trinkets, now is the time to put them in. Plans (except for the car rental) are pretty much all set. Fly to Germany. Drive to Heidelberg. Drive to Lake Lucerne (Switzerland). Later travel to Brugges, Edinburgh, Dublin and London. Erin, Ryan, Megan, Kindra and JJ - we'll see you all in the UK. Travel safe and enjoy the adventure.

I asked Kate's English uncle for recommendations of things to do while in the UK. He replied with: 1) Mind the gap, 2) Never ask a Scotsman what is under his kilt - he just may show you, and 3) For god sakes stay away from the Haggis!
