Next chance I get I want to visit Ireland, Scotland and Britain and see the other half of my heritage. I understand the beauty is just stunning. You'll need to be selective. We might seem a small set of islands but the range of varied landscape is striking. Don't do what most people do and spend too much time in London. It's an interesting city but there is so much more (I say that as someone who visited the USA once and only left Manhattan island to walk over the bridge to Brooklyn for an hour or so!!!!). Quote
Tim McG Posted December 5, 2015 Report Posted December 5, 2015 Sounds like good advice. TBH, I love the history of the buildings and such in a city, but the shoreline cliffs and scenery of the inland intrigue me the most. Quote
