|  Headed to Europe! I'm leaving tomorrow morning to Europe! My daughter is going with the Michigan Ambassadors of Music - the group is made up of students from all over northern Michigan. They will be preforming chior and band concerts through Europe. I told her she couldn't visit Europe without me! and then I invited my mom to come along!! We will visit 7 countries in 16 days. Yes - a whirlwind tour, but I am so excited!! Anyway - if anyone happens to be in London or Paris in the next week? and sees a crowd of Americans all wearing grey/blue jackets with red embroider, say HI!!  We will also be in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Lichinstein (sp?), and Germany. Theresa |

| You lucky stiff. Wow that is going to be one heck of a ride. And good luck to your Daughter and her Band. It will be an experience they will never forget. OH.. post pictures when you get back. Aspecialy Italy. I'm partial to Italians. If you see any De Francisco's say Hi they might related to me.

| I hope you have a great time. I'll help you in this by promising not to go to London while you're there  ! Take lots of photographs; touristy snaps often inspire wonderful scroll saw patterns and projects.Seriously, I hope you and your whole family enjoy yourselves immensely. It's the sort of tour I'd love to take one day. I live too far away from London for there to be any realistic prospect of an encounter, though. Gill

| I have 3 photo chips that will hold around 5000 pictures - so I will be taking LOTS!! I won't bore you with all of them (unless you really want to see them... lol) but will try and get some posted. Pajaro - how do you say "HI" in Italian?? Gill - I looked up where you lived when we first were planning the trip - I would have loved to have met you! But I do want to come back and visit England sometime - so maybe in the future? |

| "buongiorno", Good morning. Pronounced "bon-jer-no" "buon pomeriggio", Good afternoon. Pronounced "bon pom-eriggo" not sure on this one. "ciao", Hello or Hi. pronounced "Chow" "buona notte", Good night. Pronounced "bon-no-ty" "abbia divertimento", Have fun. Any more?  PS: by the way. Pajaro is Spanish for Bird.... Italian is "Uccello" for bird. Pajaro makes a better name for for my site.

| There are several variations in London, with a few even being repeatable in polite company. The classic Cockney greeting is "Wotcher", although it doesn't seem to be used much nowadays. The last time I came across it was in a conversation between Harry Potter and Tonks. Gill

| Thanks! I think I can handle most of those. I should just keep my mouth shut over there though, and just smile and nod! Ok - that's not going to happen. T |

| Yes WD - we are going over all the rules! I am hoping that because we are traveling as a group, and we've been asked to wear the group jacket while in the airports, that we will get through smoothly. We all (parents and kids!) have been told over and over - we say "Yes sir" and "No sir" (or mam if need be) while in the airport. |
