American Girl In An English World

Just a few of my travel stamps (there are plenty more!)
Normally, this is not always the case. Sometimes being an international means that the line at the passport check takes longer.
However, Leeds-Bradford Airport decided to bless me.
Walking off my (super delayed and full) flight from Berlin, we managed to arrive at the same time as another flight, meaning that there were loads of people in line waiting to pass through.
Naturally there are the familiar signs ‘UK/EU Citizens’ on the left and ‘All Other Passports’ on the right. As usual, I start shuffling to the right, clutching my USA passport and UK Landing Card I filled out on the plane.
But lo and behold. While there are 200+ people in the UK/EU line…
MY LINE IS EMPTY.
So, I walked past 200+ tired and cranky people who were in the UK/EU line because no one in my flight (or the other) was international. Of course, my passport guy had to stop checking in UK/EU people because I was priority (seeing as how he finally had an international to check in).
Pretty sure I felt daggers being thrown into my back.
A big smile was plastered all over my face.
Felt like a celebrity (haha, kidding!)
:D
I wonder who came up with the slogan first? (Royal Armouries Museum - Leeds, England)
Royal Armouries Museum - Leeds, England
If you ever find yourself at the Tower of London, you will come across the Royal Armouries tower. If you want to see the rest of the collection (and find yourself with a 0.50p bus ticket from Megabus from NCL to Leeds), you should head to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds - north of London. About a 2 1/2 hour road trip from Newcastle.
Megabus.com is having a winter sale, and I found a round trip bus ticket to Leeds from Newcastle for 0.50p ($0.81).
As if I was going to pass THAT up.
Not that I have a clue as to what is actually in Leeds.
Any suggestions for a day trip (I arrive around 8:30am and am leaving at around 4pm)?
