abroad.

Over the holiday I had the opportunity to take a PR and Advertising class in London.  It was actually considered a travel/study program since we weren't stationed at a university.

This was my first official trip outside the North American continent, which I was initially nervous about then I was too excited to be nervous.  I hate leaving places and people so heading to the airport was rough and I was stressed because I was unorganized and was afraid I forgot a bunch of things.

The trip over the big blue wasn't bad.  I tried to sleep for a long time, but drifted off.  I just watched a bunch of movies and before I knew it we were there.  By this point I was exhausted because it was 7am London time.  That's 1am Nashville time.  I tried to enjoy the ride to our hotel but was so sick I mostly just tried to not get sick.  I feel asleep as soon as I got into my room.

Over the course of the trip we visited more fabulous places that I can possible name, but I hope to highlight some of my favorites.  First, here is the list of places I got to check out.

- Mayfair and Piccadilly
- Notting Hill: Museum of Brands, Packaging, and Advertising, Portobello Road Market
- Covent Garden: London Transport Museum
- Greenwich: Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum
- East London: Olympic 2012 area and structures
- Hampton Court Palace
- Harry Potter city walk tour
- Stonehenge
- Bath
- Wimbledon facilities
- South Kensington: Science Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum
- Museum of Childhood
- Imperial War Museum
- Tate Modern Museum
- Agencies: McCann Erickson, Weber Shandwick, DDB
- Abbey Road

- Burlington Arcade

Of course we also saw some of the top tourist attractions like Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, London Bridge, the Tower of London, and the London Eye.  I know there are even more places that we visited that I can't think of right now.

Overall I had such an incredible time, it's hard to put in words my thoughts.  I hope to share some of my pics from my adventure in the upcoming posts.  I can't wait!!
