Dan and Linda Hull

Liverpool, Whales and home!
Wayne, my brother , picked us up at the airport tonight at 9:30 pm and we are finally home in Salt Lake. We had a great time and we found hundreds of new people, saw many new family sites and renewed old acquantances with family and friends we met on earlier trips. One thing is for sure we have a great family no matter where they live and we love you all.
Our flight home was long but exciting because we almost missed our connecting flights in Philidelphia and Baltimore and we were so close in Baltimore that my luggage didn't make it home. Tomorrow maybe. I kept all of the documents and computer with me as carryon so clothes lost are okay for a day or so. Kristin and Dean, our traveling partners are in seperate places as I write, Kristin is home in Mesa and Dean is in Italy for some business. Kristin did the blog on Thursday but the internet failed just as she was to upload so we didn't have one after we had gone to see Adrian's wall in the center of England, a Roman built wall across England from coast to coast and then we visited the Lake District and saw lake Wandamere and some pretty sights there and then we visited Wigan where Grandma Elizabeth Liptrott Hull was from. Wigan has the best history for three families of ours, the Rigby, the Liptrott and the Hesketh families. We found a lot of information and some great web sites for searching and we took tons of photos of family grave markers. I hated to leave. We went to the Preston Temple to do a session and we went there at night and guess who was helping at the clothing counter but Kathleen Hull, Paul Hull's mother, and she invited us over for a short visit because it was late at night. She was so kind and after 3 plus years of trying to find her we finally met her there. She gave us a tour went on a session with us and the temple is beautiful.
On Friday we left at 7 am and drove down to Liverpool and visited a Beetles sight at the docks area and also where the Hulls left for America. We then drove west across Whales clear to the far west tip at Holyhead to catch the ferry to Dublin which we did and we got to our room packed and left to the airport Saturday morning and here we are home safe and sound and not having run into anyone on the wrong side of the rode for over 1700 miles. Thanks to Linda as the map person, Kristin the director and Dean the gps man who told us when we were lost and got us back to a good place, we are home safe. But best of all thanks to our friend upstairs who directored our travels, help us find good people and protected us from harm. I will start uploading pictures tomorrow and letting you see what we saw. Dan
