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 05:00 pm (UTC)We took a really cool walking tour in London with a company that runs a bunch of walking tours. You basically get one of their schedules and then all you have to do is show up at the listed location at the listed time, hand the guide your money, and then follow them around. We took something like "Medieval London", but they had tons on Jack the Ripper, Ghost tours, Arthurian London, whathaveyou. Again, it's the kind of thing you don't have to plan in advance, but you can do as needed.
