We got into London after a 10-hour overnight flight and were met at the airport by our good friend Chris Potter and went to a hotel in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, then to his shop. The next day, we rode the train to London to a hotel downtown. We thought we would see the sites and the first way to do that is to get on The Big Red Bus and sit on the upper deck in the...

As a teaching facility, it is great. Different targets are abundant — a lot ... Read more…

Their winter is very similar to ours, meaning not too cold - a light jacket in the morning and layer up for the rest of the day. We also like to go in late January or early February when it could get cold in Houston and it is spring ther... Read more…
