Yesterday evening, my friend Desiree and I booked a trip for next May to England, Scotland, and Ireland! I'm VERY excited about it, as we've been trying to get it together for a while now. We are going to stay in London for 5 nights, Glasgow for 2nights, and Dublin for 4 nights. Our booking includes airfare and hotels, so we won't have to worry about that stuff when we are there. Breakfast is included in Scotland and Ireland, too. So all our money can go toward day-to-day expenses and between-city travel.
There are so many things I want to see and places I want to go when we are there. Luckily we have a good long time to plan. Already on my list for London are the Tower of London, National Portrait Gallery, Westminster Abbey, and Harrod's department store. In Scotland, I have to do a little research, but we are planning to daytrip over to Edinburgh, so I know I want to see Edinburgh Castle. In Ireland, it looks like we will be going to the Guiness Storehouse, the James Joyce Centre, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Jameson Distillery, and Dublin Castle. I'd love to see some ruined castles during the trip, also. Apparently the Scottish Borders are good for that!
If anyone has any advice on cool stuff to see that is a little off the regular tourist map, please let me know!

Sounds like fun! I know you've been wanting to plan a trip to Europe for a while. I will ask my mom about "off the beaten path" locations to visit - she's good at that sort of thing!
For some reason I thought you were going this summer. But that is cool that you have it booked and you have lots of time to save up and plan. Brent's been to Scotland, you should ask him about what he did there (I have no clue).
Yeah, it was supposed to be this year around Labor Day, but Desiree moved and then she took forever to get a new job, so we had to postpone until things were looking better for her financially.
