dancerjodiI'm getting really frustrated trying to research/plan this supposed UK vacation we're taking in the spring. We haven't picked a date. We have a source for airfare (though, the price I saw didn't include fees, which costs as much as the tickets) which is good. We have a source for a place to stay in London which is good.
But, how long would we be there (and how long Scotland)? How the hell would we get to Scotland (more flying I'm assuming, to make best use of the time while we're there). Where would we go? What would we do? I'm trying really hard not to give in and do a tour where I just have to smile and give them lots of money. I know we can do this a lot cheaper on our own (and really, its hard to get myself to spend the cash on a weekend trip to NYC - you have no idea what its doing to me watch the numbers for international travel)!
This may come as second nature to a lot of you, but to this gal who has never even been to Disney World or driven over to Canada, its a bit of a task!

Date: 2005-01-04 11:48 am (UTC)Scotland, I loved Glasgow and the Highlands were a dream. You can fly from London to the Highlands (we flew into Benbecula) and then go from there to the North (Lewis, Harris, North Uist) or the South (South Uist and Eriskey). Glasgow has a subway which runs in a circle, so either way you get on, you are going in the right direction, and it wasn't too expensive when we were there. Takes you to shopping, museums, and some other fun things.
Skye is between the Highlands and Scotland and you can go to Eileen Donan there which is the castle that was used for Highlander and is breathtaking.
Hey! When you go, if I give you a few bucks could you get me some candy bars? They taste so much better coming from the UK :) hehe
