((Please note you MAY NOT yet rp out the trip. More Epic is to come.))
Okay, so. Principal Hanston has no account on here, so she can't post this, so someone's got to do it for her. =P I hope she gets an account, but 'till then, I'm playing The Messenger. (If you get that reference, you get a cookie? XD)
Now, a lot of this could have gone on the bulletin board, but she did this so the normals wouldn't get too annoyed.
Here's some basic stuff:
- EVERYONE on this trip is a known reincarnate, teachers included. However, keep in mind we will be in public. So we can't exactly use our names, except in the rooms where we will be sleeping.
- Be relieved that we don't have to sleep among the exhibits. There's a series of side rooms set up like this:
| room one - boys |
| room two/adjoining room - teachers |
| room three - girls |
Bathrooms are attached to each of the rooms, so no worries there. Breakfasts are at the museum's cafe.
So, on that note, don't even think about trying to sneak in together, for all you couples. You'd risk waking the teachers and...awkward, much?
- Make sure your bags are locked.
- Sleeping bags, pillows and so forth are provided.ITINERARY
(A copy is available in the office, printing form here is disabled. Besides, do you want this remark on your itinerary anyways? I didn't think so.)
TRAVEL DAY
- Everyone up and at the school by 1 AM. Packed and ready!
- Buses out of Riverdale and to the airport; the bus trip will be about two and a half hours.
- Our flight leaves at 7 AM
- We land in Chicago, and transfer there. Why? I dunno. Ask the airline.
- That flight leaves at 10, so eat an early lunch at the airport.
- From there we fly to London.
- We will arrive there at about 6:00 PM.
- We arrive at Madame Tussauds once we all get through airport security. FOR THE RECORD, FOLKS; don't bring your swords/weapons/flying cars/stuff that's hard to explain and that would hold us up
- Once there, we get a tour of Tussauds. We'd be split into four groups and go about the place.
- At the end of all this, it should be about 10:00
- Go to bed.
DAY ONE
- Everyone up at 7 AM
- Wake up
- Breakfast
- At about 9 AM, we leave.
- We walk around London. This is probably to wake us up, given the long day before.
- We walk to the London Zoo, and spend time there. Lunch is had at the London Zoo. It is not paid for by the trip; nor are nay lunches, so make sure to bring some on top of spending money so you can eat.
- After lunch, at about 1:15, we go to the National Gallery. We stay there until 4:30.
- By 5, we should be Globe Theatre, where we get a behind the scenes show of how it would have worked in Shakespeare's time...
I'm sure Mr. Plunkett will be THRILLED with that. xP
Moreso since the people showing us around will pretend to be from the time period.
Sorry, Shakespeare...
- At 7:30, we eat supper at a nearby restaurant.
- At 8:40, all of us should be in our seats for Hamlet. The play starts at 9:00.
- By 11, we should be back or nearly so, to Madame Tussauds.
- As soon as we get there it's pretty much lights out.

- We take the bus to Westminster Abbey, and stay there until about 10:45.
- After that, we go to Trafalger Square and the Benjamin Franklin House.
- Lunch at noon. Nowhere in particular, just wherever we want.
- By 1:30 at the latest, we need to be at London Bridge.
- We go to Princess Diana's memorial briefly (thank the Lord we don't have her among our ranks! That'd be...weird.)

- We have a middle-aged themed tour; and rest of the day. People in character again....that's gonna get awkward for me, I don't doubt it.
- By 4:50 or so, we should be done that tour.
- We commence to Chislehurst Caves, and take the tour there.
- When we're done that, it should be roughly 7:00, where we are treated to a medieval banquet for supper all bells and whistles and costumes and such, in the Banquet House. Speaking from experience, it will not end at the supposed 9:00 time, it will probably end closer to 10:00.

DAY FOUR
- SUPRISE...morning routine.
- We leave the Wax Museum for Pollock's Toy Museum, and we remain there until it is 11.

-Back to the museum and bed.
