I visited England back in October of 2007 as part of a back packing trip with my father. Our plan was to visit my uncle and then travel to France where we would take trains and buses down into Spain and then on to Portugal.
My father is originally from Great Britain, having grown up in largely in Brighton in East Sussex, England, about 47 miles south of London. My uncle still lives there with his wife and two daughters, my cousins.
We flew out from JFK airport, in New York City, after a week long stay with my fathers second wife at her apartment in Brooklyn. I don’t recall how many days I stayed in England before we continued our backpacking trip and flew south to Toulouse in France, but I did eventually return to England before flying home to the States.
