Well, that is definitely the best time for weather. They're the main summer months so it should be warm. 70-85 degrees.

It will definitely rain though, it does that a lot

Your cell phone should work i think if it's dual or tri band, but i'm not really sure about networks or whatever, but you can get a sim card for a UK network for free and buy talk time pretty easily.

Internet i guess will be the same as US but with different providers.

Sussex is pretty nice. Some quite wealthy areas.

For the cell phone issue, make sure she has at least a Dual Band that uses SIM cards. Have her current phone company unlock it for international use. Actually a better way to put this is if her provider is T-Mobile or Cingular, she will be fine. There are places where you can buy SIM cards and "load" cards which act as a prepaid.

She could probably buy a PAYG (pay as you go) phone here for cheaper than it would cost using her US one! Tho we have pretty good coverage across the UK so if her phone'll allow it, she could roam quite easily on our networks. Internet isn't usually a problem, depending on where she's staying.

As for the weather, if it's anything like last year there'll be a week of nice weather in April, and then solid rain til winter... Oh well, we can live in hope

Are you not coming to visit as well? It'd be some good GT-4's for viewing!

i wish i could..but rite now i can barely afford gas to drive around :\

her dad wants her to go and study abroad before she graduates. i planned to go with her, but didnt work out..i really wish i could go.

if i do visit europe i plan on visiting for at least 2 months..most likely rite after im done with school. maybe stay half a year or so, get a job n have a nice euro vacay. i want to visit germany's autobahn n the nurburgring as well as other places..

but not this year. i will tell her to take pix..hopefully she sees some GT4s or some of your guys' celis

If she has verizon, she can swap phones for overseas use. Its CHEAP, like 2 bucks a day MAYBE. My aunt did the same thing when she went to london, it worked out really well. Just tell her tocall her carrier, I'm sure they have protocol for these types of things

Pretty sure she'll need a tri band phone to work here in the UK and she'll be over here in the prime car show months so therell be plenty to see (yes itll rain lots but thats the UK for you)
