B1 again, but something different

B1 is planning to go to the UK to watch the Ashes this year, and hasn't booked anywhere to stay yet (sigh). She hasn't even booked her air ticket.

( big sister worries )

BTW, if you have any stories of siblings or friends who went and came back safely, I would love to hear them. I know the horror stories are a teeny tiny percent, but they're most of what's out there and they're freaking me the fuck out. I need the assurance that things can turn out okay, too.
