  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."

  • Tuesday, December 20 – Locals’ Christmas Party @ the Original Greene Turtle, featuring Karen’s Famous Egg Nog. Details are sure to follow.
• Members please bring plastic or paper shopping bags to the monthly Roost meetings. The bags will be taken to Diakonia by Eric for use in distributing food donations to the community.
• Ticket Exchange:
• Season Bus: Bus seats for individual games are $45.00. Please contact Mike at 410.251.6821.

• 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.
  I have already been in touch with Jacob, our Fandeavor rep., who did such a good job helping us with the details of the recent Dallas trip. I have also contacted "Prime Sport", the Ravens Official Agent for London Travel Packages. They will be contacting me once they have worked out the options they will offer. In addition, Maggie and I have been to London several times and have some ideas on sights that the group might want to visit.
  The thing to consider at this point is how long of a trip you will want to take. Once you get to London, it is easy to visit many other parts of England as well as other countries and cities in Europe, including Paris. The basic trip will probably include 3 or 4 nights in London, some sightseeing to popular places (Tower of London to see the Real Raven Birds is a must), and tickets/transportation to the game. I have asked Fandeavor to look at hotels with easy access to public transportation (London has some of the best in the world) for individual sightseeing during the day.
  As with the Dallas trip, there will be a number of options available depending on how individuals want to tailor their trip. Although I do not have a lot of information at the moment, I wanted to get the word out that we have started working on the trip. If anyone has particular questions, ideas or recommendations please let me know. We will hold a preliminary meeting in late January to get an idea of who and how many people are interested in going. Thanks, Gary.

Funny Poop

• Kathy began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to help.
  One day, during recess, Kathy noticed a young girl standing by herself on one side of the playing field while the rest of the kids were playing a game of soccer.
  A while later, Kathy walked over to the young girl and offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?"
  The girl looked at Kathy suspiciously, then said hesitantly, "Okay, I guess so…"
  "Why are you standing here all alone?" asked Kathy.
  "Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"

• Jack was living in Arizona during a heat wave when the following took place.
  "It's just too hot to wear clothes today," complained Jack as he stepped out of the shower. "Honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"
  "Probably that I married you for your money."
