Day 1: Arrival

Leaving in the late Californian afternoon, I flew for ten hours from Los Angeles to London. The long journey proved to be well worth it as the morning came and I entered a city full of brown brick buildings and pleasant people with lovely accents. The city glows with a certain energy woven by it's simple joy and  bursting with the history and character in the aged architecture.

I look forward to my visit to the Pax Lodge and reflect on the planning and preparations to make this trip happen. I encourage other girls to take the steps to try to take a trip like this to this WAGGGS center. Although, this may seem difficult, with the necessary hours of planning and the funds to pay for tickets remember that nothing is impossible and that when you dedicate yourself to reach a goal like this you can achieve what you desire.

A few years ago as a Junior, I was part of a troop that took a trip to the Juliette Low House in Savannah, Georgia. This is another great destination.We raised the money to go through cookie sales and parent donations.  We had so much fun and learned quite a lot about life in Juliette Low's time. I recommend girls to look into trips to any of the four WAGGGS Centers or even The Juliette Low House. Both would be trips to never forget.

Now I shall go, and prepare for my tour or Buckingham Palace tonight.
