Barry Blackstone
Travel through the back roads and country lanes of the British Isles with a pastor and his wife celebrating their thirtieth wedding anniversary. Journey to London and witness the special blessing experienced by Barry and Coleen Blackstone as they take their very first ’alone’ vacation since starting into the pastorate. Visit the famous sites of England’s fabled capital, including a night on the town with the human animals of the musical 'The Lion King.' Your stops will include Hampton Court, Salisbury Cathedral, the city of Bath, the chimes of Chester, Strafford-upon-Avon, Edinburgh Castle, the ancient walls of York, the colleges of Cambridge, and many more famous British sites. Ride with the honeymooners on a narrowboat ride through the canals of Wales; eat the best meal of your life at the George in Scotland; ride through the rain in the midlands of England, and tour the Britannia, once the queen of England’s private ocean liner. Walk the streets of London town and ride its famous underground after a shopping spree at Harrods, the world’s most famous department store. Window shop in Stamford, listen to Scottish bagpipe music under the Firth of Forth railroad bridge, buy jewelry in Jedburgh, sweaters in Scotland, and walk under the shadow of the stones at Stonehenge. Learn what it means to rekindle an old love, the simple joy of being two people alone on an island in the North Sea for ten days, and the spiritual lessons one can learn on a journey to Scotland!
