    I have a suggestion on the "how to get there" portion of the trip more than the "what to do there" portion.

    Go to http://www.ba.com (British Airways) and register for their "specials" email. By doing so, my wife and I were able to find $200 round trip flights to Heathrow (and then we took the train to Glasgow) and saved a buttload of money that way.

    BA runs specials like this a lot, it seems. Plus, if you're like us, you'll walk off the plane just as the paparazzi are arriving at the airport to see the contestants from the British version of I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here! arrive, and you'll walk into the main terminal to the crowd clamoring to get your picture.

    Hey, and don't leave out the south of England! No trip to the beautiful south is complete without a meet-up with me - either in London or on my home territory (the south coast near Brighton).

    David,

    You hit it right on the head. I am indeed lucky. We've talked about this trip for several years. It's taken being kilted and participating here to bring it to life!

    Hamish, thanks kindly. we'd be honored.
