Change of Venue
Angie and I have had a dream since the beginning. The dream of living abroad in the United Kingdom, living amongst the most passionate fan base in world football. Four months after we met in 2002, we were in England traveling by foot, bus, train and plane to see 5 matches in 9 days. Matches in Leeds, Liverpool, London and Newcastle were enough for us to know where we wanted to be.

We vowed to come back and do it again.

Our dream has been realized. This time however, we have over 5 months to experience not only the football in the UK, but the culture and lifestyles of the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. We'll be based out of Swansea (Carmarthenshire, South Wales). Angie will work on assignment in nearby Llanelli and I will serve, among other things, as our travel guide. Our trip begins with a long travel day on December 11th that will take us to Chicago, Dublin, Birmingham and finally Swansea...our new home.
