Thank you @jeff-kubitz
I am hearing great things from that side of the pond. It's encouraging :o)

I am glad you responded @markwhittam. My thoughts on reading your adventures are - shouldn't you leave before school starts? And, yes, I have stayed in Arizona in a big truck over the road many times and it really is so hot that it is unbelievable. One does get used to it eventually but it is so very hot.
