  • Road Trip 2017 - As hoped, the Ravens will be playing a game in London next season. It appears that the date will be either Sept. 24 OR Oct. 1st.
    PRELIMINARY RR#44 LONDON ROAD TRIP IDEAS
    • Option to include air. The basic price probably will NOT include air as people may want to book their own flights in order to extend their stay. I’m asking Fandeavor to provide an option for air to those that want it.
    • WEDNESDAY; Fly to London. This is usually an overnight flight!
    • THURSDAY; Arrive early daytime
      • INCLUDED IN BASIC TRIP;
        • 4/5 Star Hotel Accommodations in Downtown London. Transportation to/from airport, hotel, Football Game and excursions.
        • THURSDAY; Transportation from the airport to the hotel, then free time to settle in, take a nap, walk around the neighborhood, hit a few pubs, welcome reception that evening.
        • FRIDAY; Guided Tour of London to include Tower of London Private Tour (Including seeing the famous Raven Birds), Changing of the Guard Ceremony, Westminster Abbey,
        • SATURDAY; Thames Riverboat Trip (and dinner?), St Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, Pub Crawl? (Pub Crawl either Friday or Saturday depending on timing of the sightseeing tour's)
        • Sightseeing may change between Friday & Sat. as available.
        • SUNDAY; Tailgate Party. Game tickets for Ravens vs Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Although everyone enjoyed the location of the seats in Dallas, I am also considering something less expensive in an effort to keep the total price down.
        • OPTIONS; purchase additional private excursions, extend stay in same Hotel @ Group Rate.
        • MONDAY; Depart London
    • Fandeavor will help with any additional sightseeing or travel individuals may want to do. Again, this is an effort to show what we are planning but is NOT the final itinerary. I will send out more info as it develops. Please let me know if you have any interest so I can keep you updated.

Funny Poop
  • A man wondered if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin. The reason is because he is not sure if sex is work or play. So he goes to a priest. He asks for the priest's opinion.
    After consulting the Bible, the priest says, "My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on the Sabbath."
    The man thinks, "What does a priest know about sex?" So, he decides to ask a minister.
    The minister gives the same reply as the priest had given him. Sex is work, and therefore not permitted on the Sabbath.
    Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out a Rabbi. The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, "My son, sex is definitely play."
    The man asks, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others are convinced that sex is work?"
    The Rabbi replies, "If sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it."


Etcetera
