How many of you all are planning on making the trip across the pond to watch the Redskins @ Bengals game from Wembley Week #8?

I am 70% leaning on going.

I want to take my dad but I'm not sure if he will travel. If not then I have to see if my wife will want to go and that could be a paperwork headache.

My friend and I are all in.. have plane ticket, place to stay and ticket to game.. Can;t wait till October 30th, 

Looked into the packages, checked into the airfare. Then, was not-so-subtly reminded by Mrs. Llama that she had no intention of going to the UK for a "friggin' football game." No friends or family were interested in going, so I was going alone or not going. Chose the latter. She said we take a trip out west somewhere instead, and I suggested Colorado/Utah. So, there's that.

Hope whomever goes has a good time and takes plenty of pictures.

Same here.  Six of us going and making a vacation out of it.

Does it count if you watch it in London Ohio or London Kentucky ??

That was my pitch as well.  Said we could go to Scotland and Ireland, too.  No dice.  Secretly, I think she's afraid of flying over water but doesn't want to admit it.  She's not a traveler, anyway, so I'm lucky I got Colorado out of her.

I can sympathize with Mrs. Llama.  You'd play hell even getting me on an airplane, or even in a tall building.  The fear of heights is strong with 'ol TT.

That's the thing, though, she's flown quite a bit, so it's not a height thing.  But, she's only but only ever flown domestically, never over anything wider than a river.  I guess the spectacle of a water landing absolutely terrifies her, but being a smoldering crater in a corn field is okey-dokey. I really can't say anything, though, because I pretty much refuse to climb any kind of ladder and force her to do that stuff.

Phobias are weird.  I still see her apprehension.
