Just think, I'm currently 5 hours behind you, so the 9am is actually 4am here ... I don't need to be overly conscious for the am bits though, right? *quirks eyebrow*...awaiting inspiration...and time/energy/know-how!

On a slightly off-topic note, I'm going to be in London again in two weeks. I still haven't heard one way or the other if I've been accepted to the university I applied to, so I don't really have an itinerary. (If I get accepted, I'll be spending some quality time in Portsmouth to start getting acquainted with the geography.) I've done some of the major touristing in London and I'd like to get away from the city a bit. Anybody who has started their AT6 touristing research have any suggestions for day trips from London? Especially any recommendations for tour companies.
It's been a long time since I've been to London, but I remember lots of cool places I went to. (Can't wait to get back!) The Dover/Canterbury trip was way cool, definitely worth a visit.
Other trips I'd definitely recommend are Stonehenge and Bath (did that in 1 full day), and perhaps Stratford on Avon especially if you like Shakespeare. We went there and saw Taming of the Shrew, and we loved it! (We arranged for our tickets before we left the US, and went on our own via train).
Speaking of Shakespeare, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Amanda play Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" Don't you? (I loved Emma Thompson playing that role opposite Kenneth Bragnagh too.)

I second the recommendation of Stonehenge and Bath. Bath is wonderful if you love Georgian architecture (I do) and of course the Roman Baths. Don't miss the Pump Room for tea and the Museum of Clothing. Bath Abbey is very nice as well. Stonehenge surprised me as it was smaller than I expected from the pictures I'd seen in National Geographic and so forth.sigpic

Would love to know how you travelled to Stonehenge and Bath and the approximate cost.

Originally posted by stargazing5846 View PostI also recommend this. When my niece and I went she obtained passes for special access for viewing the stones. We actually had access to the stones themselves and were there at the sunrise. We didn't go with a "tour group" but by ourselves. If anyone is interested in where she got the tickets let me know and I will ask her. You can't beat being with the stones themselves I've been twice and very memorable experience.

That would be me. Thanks. Woohoo for S4K merchandise.
Good to know.
Ditto my question on travel there.Originally posted by stargazing5846 View PostI also recommend this. When my niece and I went she obtained passes for special access for viewing the stones.

I'd love to know how to get access without being part of the group, if you don't mind sharing! Our tickets were about 65 GBP, but that was also a good 5 years ago.
