Oil's going up and the dollar's going down, and airlines are jacking up prices like there's no tomorrow (which, given the rate at which aviation consumes finite resources, there basically isn't). This means that going to England is suddenly EXPENSIVE, my goodness. Almost a thousand dollars for the cheapest flights - more than twice what I paid a month ago. I'll go for the summer, but unless prices drop significantly after the summer, there's no way I'll be able to go back for Limmud in December. I'm quite sad about this; I suppose it's the price I pay for what I have. I wouldn't be the Soferet if I hadn't come to live in America.
