Cathy's Holiday in England

Thanks Diana! I missed you too. 

Ray, you really looked hard for a Cornish Pasty. What a treasure hunt that was!! Yes, I really enjoyed Skittles! That was a lot of fun!! Wished we could do it again. And it certainly was a pleasure to meet you too. I am looking forward to coming back and seeing you again. And hopefully Stephanie too.

I hope to start by the weekend. I am having trouble adjusting back into the routine. I will be excited to see all of them too! Thanks!

Where do you plan to visit when you get over there? 

Sounds exciting Debbie. You should look into staying at the Travel Lodges. They are very reasonable, usually with some kind of food service next to them and fuel services as well. 

If I was you I would spend my time in all the first three places you mentioned.In fact you could spend your whole visit just in Cornwall and still wouldn't see everything.  There is so much to see just there that you would be amazed. It is quite a long drive from the South to York. 

You also have to remember that the best and quickest way to get there is the M4 to the M5 and pick up the A30 in Exeter, after that it is all small roads which will slow you up quite a bit. Going to Devon and Cornwall via Stonehenge on the A303 will really slow you up.

You should get on the net and research each county to see what they have to offer as far as attractions and local information. Plan your route ahead. Remember you need to be at the airport 3 hours prior to your flight, going and coming. You will have to get through Border Patrol. And Border Patrol in England is very tight!! 

I hope this info has helped you in some way. I'd like to see you relax and not have to rush about and miss things that could be quite enjoyable. I am praying for you to have a lovely trip with sunshine all the way!!
