How's the Weather Over There?

Well, we're finally getting some beautiful weather here in Northwestern Wisconsin, but I'm sure many of you have your minds on the weather "over there." (As an aside, being a US History teacher, using the phrase "over there" in writing makes me want to burst into a rousing chorus of Over There, the uber-patriotic WWI-era tune. "Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun...Johnnie show the Hun who's a son of a gun...") Anyway...

Just as it is here in the US, the farther out the forecast, the less likely it will be accurate. And since our first official day in London is just clinging to the far end of a 5-day forecast, I wouldn't yet place too much confidence in predicted weather conditions. That being said, the current forecast for our arrival day in London is:

Chance of rain (20%). Scattered Clouds. High of 68 (degrees F) & Low of 55.

You might also notice I've added 5-day forecast information for each of our major-city destinations to the right hand side of this page. Be sure to check back as departure approaches because that information should become more reliable with each passing day.

In his latest email from Ireland, our tour director (Tom Quinn) recommends "warm clothes, decent footwear, and maybe a rain jacket" for Tuesday's attire. This shouldn't be a change of plans for you, I hope, as you should plan on wearing the bulkiest of your clothes (and jacket) on the plane. Tom also wanted to let travelers know that you should be prepared for a long day on Tuesday, as we will likely not be checking into our hotel until the evening, perhaps even after the Ghost Walk. So come dressed ready for business!
