Would love to meet you and AlexM there but my summer 2019 travel plans are already set. Haven't been in London for something like 15 years.

I don't think the NFL has ever given up on having full league franchises in Europe. But it would take a bunch of teams to make it work (like 6 - 8) and I don't see that ever happening.

I believe that will be Las Vegas.

It’s reallly easy to fly there from pretty much anywhere in Europe, and we got tons of English tourists down here, so even if I had other plans I could essily get cheap tickets to fly from Spain. It’s obviously not the same as flying all the way from the US, but will happily welcome any if you if you ever happen to visit the old continent.

Does AlexM live in London?

No Alex lives in Croatia. Just across the top of the Adriatic from Venice in a small city called Pula. My wife and I went to Pula for a few days last June/July and visited with Alex. Pula is a very nice smaller port city on the Adriatic and I recommend it to anyone visiting that area.

I love Spain (have been there a bunch both on business and personal travel). I'm sure my wife and I will be there again soon and will reach out to you when we do.
