Day 1Torrential downpour saw our group off, a few shy from twenty, as we boarded our first plane at McGhee-Tyson Airport. The ride was short but turbulent, and we were able to browse the Atlanta Airport and grab our last American meal for a while. The airport buzzed with a slew of different people, including a small infintry of soldiers. Soon we set off on the second plane ride, a straight shot to Manchester. The nine hour flight included a few mild air bumps and questionable tortellini. We breezed through customs and rode a bus from Manchester to Wrexham, our current destination for about a week. The countryside resembles home, think Newport with fuzzy sheep and miniture ponies.
Feeling jetlagged, we unpacked and spent our first Welsh day browsing the area and catching up on sleep at the cush Ramada Plaza.
