There is an understandable desire to "see it all" when one goes across the pond, especially if its your first trip. Take it from someone who knows. Our first trip was a flat out dead run from start to finish. Two days here, two days there - which really means a bit less than that since there's transportation involved. I know its tough but I think less is more when traveling abroad. My dear wife and I have been back a few times since that first break neck tour, but only after I promised to stop and smell the haggis.

Public transport in the UK is brilliant and BritRail passes are a must.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
