Seattle to England and Return by Surface

This book is a grey tone edition. Husband and wife team Jess and Vicki decided on a once in a lifetime trip. They had traveled many times before but were becoming disillusioned with air travel, rapid time changes and today's security requirements, so they determined that a surface transportation trip to England would be a challenge and very interesting. The purpose of their trip was to visit the places in England where their supposed Browning ancestors lived from 1255 beginning in Bristol and ending in Shipton Moyne near Tetbury in England about the year 1621 AD. They say supposed since one never knows for sure who their old ancestors may be. Jess has done a lot of research on family history in the United Kingdom and wanted to visit some of the sites where ancestors may have lived in England. That meant travel by car, train, and ship on land and water. The car, train, and adventures aboard ship as well as visiting the land sites in England were a challenge and interesting as the reader will see in the following accounts by Jess and Vicki.
