English Garden
One of my favorite songs of all time is "I am the Walrus" by the Beatles. I love the music and the lyrics, and one of the lines that always stuck out to me the most was "sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun."
I had always wondered what it would be like to sit in an English garden, because at the time, I did not realize that the British use the word "garden" as Americans use the world "yard" or "lawn," and I imagined this very tranquil plant and flower garden on a cool and misty English day.
When I was in college, I had the opportunity to travel to England and study at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston for a semester. It was an absolutely beautiful area of the country and there were definitely plenty of English gardens.

England Vacation Plane Travel And Jet Lag Issues
You are all set. You have prepared you luggage; you have confirmed your hotel reservation; you have studied your itineraries well; and you have your flight booked. All you need to do is to go to the airport and you are on your way to England. And yes, you are excited. An England vacation is always a dream come true after all. But there is one problem: the flight from New York to England is at least 8 hours and longer if you are coming from the mid-west or from the west coast.
Most people overlook this one important part of traveling, especially when crossing the Atlantic or even the Pacific. Plane travel eats up a big chunk of your vacation so you have to make sure that you remain comfortable during the entire time you spend on the plane as well as how well you adapt to England’s time zone.
Choose a good seat on an airplane
If it is your first time to cross the Atlantic Ocean, you might be the person who will fight tooth and nail for a window seat. This makes no sense at all since all you can see is nothing but clouds. What you should be choosing is an aisle seat. Again, the flight to England can last at least 8 hours so you want an easy access to lavatories.
