| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, it's me Amber. Here with another somewhat spontaneous solo episode. I'm going |
| 0:10.7 | to be sharing about my recent trip to the UK to Britain and talk about why I call it |
| 0:16.8 | Britain instead of the UK. Yeah, I did some sharing on Instagram and my stories and I |
| 0:23.6 | threw up a poll asking if folks would like a podcast episode about it and 99% of people, |
| 0:29.9 | over 1,000 people said yes. So here it is. I'm just going to be speaking. I don't have any notes |
| 0:36.6 | written out and I guess we'll go chronologically. So the trip was me and my daughter who was in her |
| 0:44.0 | last two weeks of being 15 on the trip. She turned 16 on our first full day back. We arrived home at |
| 0:50.8 | 1 a.m. on her 16th birthday and then she went right back to school two days after that too. |
| 0:58.4 | And yeah, for years now, I've been wanting to take her to one of our ancestral |
| 1:05.5 | homelands and we had talked about France quite a bit but when it occurred to me back in May that like |
| 1:14.0 | we might be able to pull this off this year, you know, after all the restrictions with COVID and |
| 1:18.2 | everything, I really didn't know when we'd be able to do that and for many, many years before |
| 1:23.2 | that, I didn't know if I'd ever be able to afford a trip like this. You can listen to episode 92 |
| 1:28.0 | for more on how I afforded it. But yeah, I was like late May and I was like, oh shit, I think we can |
| 1:35.2 | go. I think it's time to do this trip and basically Britain had just dropped all restrictions. |
| 1:41.6 | And so that's why we chose to go there instead of that we had a few other countries in mind too |
| 1:47.2 | and places around the world we could go but Britain made it easy for us by dropping those |
| 1:52.6 | restrictions and I jumped on it and it I think was so fortuitous looking back because we have |
| 2:01.1 | ancestry all over the British Isles, Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man. We did |
| 2:10.1 | not go to Wales, Ireland or the Isle of Man. England and Scotland is where we went but I absolutely |
| 2:16.6 | can't wait to go to those places someday. So as, you know, as the time was approaching, |
| 2:25.2 | first of all, I booked a day at Stonehenge or not a day. It was two hours which was not enough time |
