ABOUT THE IDIOTS:
The Idiots Abroad are a group of Americans who have differing degrees of comfort with travel and the British. As such, we have traveled to London, where we will spend four months living in close quarters, exploring the city, and working on our British accents. It is our hope, during this trip, to see some wonderful stuff, meet some interesting people, and otherwise survive our time together. Over the next four months we will be reporting on our experiences around London, letting you know how good or bad everything is, letting you know what you must see, and profiling the places you must go to and/or avoid.

ABOUT THE REVIEWS:
Everyone is a critic, including the Idiots Abroad. Each week, perhaps everyday, we will be bringing you our thoughts on the sights, sounds, and tastes around London. Should you eat the fish and chips at pub A? Or, should you cross town to see a show at Theater B? Check in with us for answers to those questions, along with short vignettes about our travels too and from these locations and about the strange and wonderful people we meet along the way.

ABOUT THE JOURNALS:
The Idiots Abroad will be keeping a journal about our time in London and in the London house. These journals might describe excitement, disappointment, homesickness, the desire to remain in London forever. The objective is to say something meaningful about travel for friends, parents, lovers, pets, lawyers to use as they consider leaving home for parts unknown. However, these journals will not be simple, will not simply list the daily goings-on. Instead, the objective is to reflect, to meditate, to allow our time away impact the ways we come to speak, honestly, about ourselves and others.
