I finally bit the bullet and have booked most of my summer vacation. I have officially decided to go to Scotland and England for almost three weeks. I leave after work on Monday, June 9 and return on Sunday, June 29. I am traveling alone and will be spending my 32nd birthday in Edinburgh. So far I have booked my roundtrip airfare from Washington Dulles on Virgin Atlantic, a flat in Edinburgh, hotel room in Glasgow, and a flat in London. My planned itinerary is:
June 9: Fly to Edinburgh from Washington Dulles June 10-14: Overnight in Edinburgh (flat is on High Street in Old Town) June 15-17: Overnight in Oban June 18-19: Overnight in Glasgow (booked a room at the citizenM Hotel) June 20-22: Overnight in York June 23-28: Overnight in London (flat is near the Fulham Broadway tube station - I stayed in the same neighborhood in December and liked it a lot) June 29: Fly home from London
I just need to book the lodging for Oban and York, and then all my train tickets. I plan to have all this done in the next week. Then I'll start planning day trips and the such for some of the locations. I also have taken ideas from some other Scotland posts that have been on this board lately.
I'm sure as my trip gets closer I will have more specific questions.
