The UK Experience
I had the greatest time visiting Allie! The trip was an experience I will never forget. I left from Salt Lake on the 17th of July and arrived in London in the morning of the 18th. I took a train into Paddington station and there had to buy a ticket to get to Cardiff. I was walking around for a while trying to figure out where I needed to go to get the ticket. I finally found the place and stood in line.
I was having a tough time understanding what the guy selling me my ticket was saying or trying to say. I was only going to buy a one way ticket but the guy asked if I was going to return in less than a month. He told me that it would only cost me one pound more to make it a round trip. I didn't understand what he meant at first and said the one way would be fine. After he only took a pound off the price I understood what he was saying and so I said, "Okay, I'll buy the round trip." I'm sure he was thinking, "Stupid American."
After a two hour and fifteen minute train ride I arrived in Cardiff hoping that Allie was there waiting for me because I had no clue where I was. Thankfully she was there. We then hauled my luggage for twelve hundred miles to her flat. Okay . . . it wasn't that far, but it sure seemed like it.
