Introduction

Hello world! This is Emily’s and Sophia’s blog for our trip on November 3 to England. Nice to have some readers! I hope you are as excited as we are because the country once known to be so vast as to incur the saying “the sun never sets on the British empire” must have similarly vast culture.

         We are going to England as part of an educational program set up with passport travels; it is a great organization that helps students travel abroad with a guide to help further their knowledge of the country and even provides financial plans.

         We managed to get this deal in the first place because an educational program heard Sophia’s outstanding cello performance at a music competition and said they would send her to England as a reward. They said she could take along a friend, which is how I managed to get on this trip (so lucky). Another great thing is that the offer only goes for the middle of the year which means our absences are excused.

So, in conclusion, through a series of events we will be going to England to visit music academies as well as tour the country, paid for by someone that is not us, and we get to skip school.
