911DA Story: Story

After months of planning a trip to visit London and the Lake District of England with three friends we were packed and leaving on Sept. 11, 2001. During the morning hours we remained packed thinking all would go well and we would be on our way. About 1PM we received notice that the trip would be postponed. By 6PM we had been notified that the trip was cancelled. We received a full refund from the tour company, a visit to Buckingham Palace, a trip to Windsor Castle, and a London Theatre. All the world was in shock and demonstrated their sympathy toward America by treating her citizens with respect and empathy.
