!) That just stinks!
2) I found that May was a great month to go to the U.K. I went with a Britrail pass, a couple of changes of clothes and a credit card, and just a tentative itinerary, and rambled all over England, Scotland, and the Isle of Man (where my dad's family hails from). There were no crowds, yet most of the tourist attractions were open, so I had the best of both worlds. It was pretty cold, especially in the north of Scotland but I bought a coat and got over it. I have to say it was the best vacation I ever took - the people were absolutely wonderful to me, especially on I.O.M. where my last name is common, and I got to see my fave, Gerry Marsden, perform on stage in York.
3) Good on you for making lemonade. I think you will have a wonderful time no matter when or how you go because you have a great attitude about it. |
