Travel Advice Please

[Navyguy]

Good day gents, the wife and I have been awarded the opertunity to spend 2 weeks in Europe. We want to see England, Ireland and Scotland. What I need is advice on an itenerary of things to do, and how long to stay in each country. Things I want to see/do: Stone henge, kiss the blarney stone, Guiness Brewery, Stay at Ferintosh (if P1m will have us), oh yea visit pubs for "research for the pub I plan to open after I retire". Any advice on travel or things that are "must sees" is welcome. I think I wil be flying into Dublin so that is the starting point. Thanks Guys.

My buddy went there last Summer. Go to the Jamesons distillery. You can have a bottle made just for you, put whatever you like on the label.
Let us know what you plan, and what you actually get to do. A trip similar to yours is on my to do list next summer.

The Wicklow Mountains are beautiful. You can take a bus tour from Dublin. If you're going to be in London, you should definitely go see Spamalot. It's freaking amazing.

I travel over to Europe a lot if you are looking to do a lot in a little time check out Ryan Air you could fly anywhere cheap. I often fly them for day trips around Europe. Easy Jet is another one to look into but ryan air is cheaper. You could fly from Ireland to Scotland for a day trip it is that cheap

[Clockwork John]

If you're going to use Ryanair or easyJet, make darn sure your luggage is under their weight limit... at eight quid per kilo you're over, it can get darn expensive.

Things I'd like to see:
Portsmouth:
HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, Mary Rose, Fort Nelson, with the Royal Armouries artillery collection.

Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Bowmore distilleries.

I Saw On T.v. A Nightmare Of A Story About These Two Outfits.
If Your Bags Go Over The Limit You Can Get Hit With $600.00 And Up Bill For The Bags. Also If In London See The Impereal War Museum. You Can Spend A Day There And Not Even Scrach The Surface.

TIPS-

dinnae try tae dae arr see tae much...and dinnae travel tae a new toon every day arr every other day.... (ya spend yur whale trip checking in & oot, upacking & packing cases, trying tae find a place tae park, trying tae find B&B's... gettin' lost oan wee roads... gettin stuck in traffic... sitting' in airports arr rail stations...and sae on....ya waste away yur holiday....)... stay a' each place 3 days arr maire befair movin' oan!

since ya arr a Navy man I'd suggest John Paul Jones Cottage... (a day trip frae Ferintosh)

Scotland is a wee country compared tae usa... but dinnae bae decieved...

Scotland has 790 islands an 6000 miles o' coastline (just the mainland- no countin' the island coasts)

an 600 sq miles o' lochs....

Scotland has o'er 600 castles...

an roon 100 distilleries...

540 golf courses...

100's o' neolithic standin' stanes an circles...

an 100's o' Roman ruins...
