Many thanks to Sally Preston, from the Globe, who guided me (via e-mail) through the arranging of tickets for our viewing of Much Ado About Nothing. Undoubtedly, one of the trip highlights.

Many thanks to brother Eric. Not only for haunting the house while we were away, but jacket, money belt and being my emergency contact for any travel difficulties (i.e. passports/itinerary/etc). Tks Bro!!!

A trip like this isn't possible without the support of family and friends. In October we made contact with Jane's mother to relate our plans and to ask whether she would consider two young March Break visitors. Together with Jane's sister Laura and husband Brad, Eileen graciously accepted looking after the kids and when we departed on Friday we knew we had nothing to worry about. Thanks so much to you all for opening your home to our children.
