    Detained in England - Plus Castles, Cliffs and Diet Coke

    We're recording live from England and sharing every moment of our latest adventure across the pond. From spending the night in a historic castle to taking in the breathtaking White Cliffs of Dover, this trip felt like stepping into a movie. We talk about the sights, the surprises, and what makes England feel so different from home. We also tackle one of the biggest challenges of the trip: driving on the "wrong" side of the road. Between navigating narrow country lanes, decoding British road signs, and trying not to panic at every roundabout, there was never a dull moment. Add in a conversation about British accents, the never-ending search for Diet Coke, and plenty of travel mishaps, and you've got an episode packed with laughs, stories, and a little culture shock.
