Linda, Take comfortable clothes and walking shoes. There is a lot to see and do. The pubs are fun and the food is great in them. You'll have to do some afternoon "tea times" too. Plenty of museums and castles to go around. History is everywhere. Just be sure that if you are standing on the curb you look for cars in the right direction or you'll get hit! LOL! I love it across the "pond".
As for letting go, yes, it is tough work, but in the end, it's the only thing that you can do at the time. It's not giving up, it's just another way of getting on w/your life while your spouse is growing up. Each individual will learn how to let go in their own time. It doesn't happen in a day and/or month, but gradually. In some cases, you don't even realize you've done it until one day you wake up and realize that you aren't reacting to the mlcer's nonsense like you use to. I have faith in you. You will get there when the time is right. For now, you are right where you need to be.
I'm very happy that you've made your reservations and are going across the "pond". You will definitely enjoy yourself. If you opt to purchase some things, ship them home if you don't have room in your luggage. When I travel, I usually take one fold up piece of luggage and fill it. If that one is full, I ship the rest home and by the time I arrive home, my packages arrive a day or so later.
Look to the future and know that God is watching over you and your h and he will take care of both of you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
