Vacation in Britain

[Drac]

Five days is too little, and the airfare you list is too much. Get a cheaper flight, perhaps at a different time, and stay longer. You'll regret doing the fast, racing tour, that so many Americans seem prone to doing.

Unfortunately we can only spare 1 week of vacation and counting on a loss of 2 days on each side for travel (not guaranteed but to play it safe) it only leaves us with 5 full days. Amy only gets 2 weeks a year and I get 3. With a familial obligatory week for us both and 1 week for military duty for me it is all we will get for years to come.

$400ish + taxes/fees US each person/each way is pretty much the cheapest from DFW to Heathrow. Both non-stop and with connecting. I used the search engines to get rough ideas and fine tuned it on the airline sites.
