London - Anyone Going?

[kdgjr]

My wife has wanted to go for years. If I can swing the money, I'm considering it.

Anyone else?

If you all hear of any "package deals" let us know!

Probably. 
It's not that far for me though.

I'm not. It would be fun but they are coming here to Seattle and I am not sure if I want to go to that game...

$250/person sounds like a great deal.  Though, you'd likely need another $1000 for a couple to actually enjoy themselves and take advantage of the tourism aspect of the trip.

$250/person?!?! wow! that is dirt cheap considering it includes the hotel and roundtrip and game tixsl..........TO EUROPE and more!!!! I wish I lived in Cincinnati! I'd probably spend $1,000 just to do the same from AZ to Cincy.

That's just the deposit, it's thousands more once you get into the details.

Looked at it earlier... it's expected to be upwards of 4 grand per person.

Gotta move further along in the process and you'll find out that the $250 is just a deposit, which is refundable. You won't actually find out what the package prices are until the different packages are announced.

Hell we don't go to games at PBS. Why the hell would we go all the way to London to watch the Bengals?

With the current political state of affairs in London now it could errupt into padamonium, chaos and rioting at any time OR they could figure out some kind of solution to avoid it all. Personally I'm not quite ready to take that kind of chance just to go watch an American football game in a city I may or may not be welcome...
An old Taxi dispatcher i knew was born in the US and raised in East London. His accounts of things about how Americans were treated at the time didn't seem all that welcoming..Potatoes filled with razor blades flying around doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.. The Brits take their rioting pretty serious over there from what I can tell..But then again who doesn't take rioting seriously?

I don't believe that will be the case.
