Our trip is in the later planning stages and it looks like middle September or thereabout. Since we have not done this before, we will be on a guided tour with hopes of returning the next year or the next to spend more time on our own.  We should have some time on our own at the cities in which we will be sleeping.    We plan on adding two days at the end in London, beyond the tour to see the British Museum and visit Abbey Road area, a must for the wife who is almost a locally renowned Beatles fan and knowledge source.   (Must I say she awaited news of the outcome of the McCartney/Mills settlement?)

 

The visits will include London, Bath, Chester, Edinburgh, York and the return to London with stops along the way.    This all can change as we more closely study possibilities but the idea of a return visit with a touch of experience under the belt is exciting.  The cities mentioned will be overnights.

 

Well, I understand the buses might be a good way to move about London, at least seeing what is around instead of popping up from the underground in a new part of the city.  We will find out.  I really want to hire a car and go for it but am not quite ready for that in a new place..comfortable to you and quite new to me.
