Thursday, June 10th, From Jason's Diary...

Had breakfast at the Holmlea House. I left early to post some gifts and books to family members...

Today was a travel day. Train to Oxenholme. Then Preston. Then a two more links. Finally we arrived at Stratford-Upon-Avon.

It was about 3pm. We were hungry (hadn't had lunch yet). We decided to grab lunch then find our hotel. We walked into Stratford.

Jacob said, "Let's go to the Hotel first to drop off our stuff, then go to lunch."

Thinking that he was messing with our plan I snapped: "No! We're going to lunch first! Then we'll find our Hotel!"

Jacob smiled and said, "Dad, look behind you."

I turned. We were standing right in front of the White Swan Hotel, where we had reservations. We all laughed. Unloaded our stuff and had a big lunch (we ended up not having dinner because we ate so late in the day).

The White Swan Hotel was operating 100 years before Shakespeare was born in Stratford!
