0:00.0	Welcome to the History Chicks. Any resemblance to a boring travel log is purely coincidental.
0:21.7	And here's your 30-second summary. It took two and a half years of trying, but at last
0:27.9	56 travelers and 12 seagulls spent eight magical days together. This is the story of the History
0:35.8	Chicks field trip to London.
0:45.6	Hello and welcome to the show. Today, do we have a treat for you? Well, we just got back
0:52.0	from our very first History Chicks field trip and we thought we would let you behind the scenes
0:57.0	as to what happened while we were gone. And this isn't just going to be like travel loggy. We
1:02.0	went here. We went there. No, you are going to have some mini history lessons, some book recommendations.
1:07.5	There is even an education on gas exchange in this episode. We started planning this trip in April
1:14.9	of 2019. I have the email right here April 9th 2019. We heard from Laura Hart of like minds travel

1:44.4	coming out because they couldn't go certain days. I think Laura said there was like 170 people
1:49.5	that had been signed up at some point to go on this trip. Ultimately, there were 50 of Ulysseners
1:56.3	Becca and her dad, me and my brother and Laura Hart and her husband Sam, who I thought of as our
2:04.0	adult chaperones because whenever we were like, now what, they would take care of us. Yeah.
2:10.0	With Laura at the front of the tour and Sam bringing up the rear so that nobody got lost,
2:15.5	we made our way all around London and different areas in the UK. I don't know how she was behind
2:20.8	the scenes, but man, Laura was calm. Oh, no kidding. She was an ocean of calm. She was dealing with
2:27.4	some unprecedented situations. I mean, COVID, of course, which we'd been dealing with for years
