Jonathan's best friend Thomas has been in Birmingham, England since the first part of the year and Jonathan wished he could have gone also, so when Thomas invited Jon to spend a couple of weeks this summer with him, and Marolynn and Carrie also lobbied me to send him, we purchased air tickets for him to go. So he flew from Salt Lake to Birmingham where Thomas met him, and stayed in the UK for a couple of weeks. Jonathan handled things just fine, traveling by train to Bath and Warwick to see things that he had read about in his British history book. Then Thomas and Jonathan went together and visited London for three days, staying in youth hostels. As it turned out, Thomas quit his job and was coming home, but he flew out a day before Jonathan. Jon arranged for a cab on the morning of his departure but it didn't show up, but he handled things just great by getting a friend that he had met to drive him to the airport. Then a 24-hour leap over the pond to Newark, NJ, then to Huston, then to Salt Lake. Marolynn met him at the Salt Lake airport without a hitch. Only problem now is that Jonathan wants to live in England.

Sounds like Jon had a great experience! I'd love England too, but it is a little pricey to live there.
