Hi from Australia

Hi my name is Sandra and live in Australia. My husband and myself will be traveling to England and Ireland in July next year. Visiting Windsor, Cotswolds, Shropshire, Nth Wales, Liverpool, Lakes district, Scotland and then onto Irleland.

Welcome to the site Sandra. Sounds like a very busy trip you have planned. You will probably be driving past me - I live in the Black Country in the West Midlands.

Welcome to POE from Anna and Ron, Sandra. Clearly the website will help you to plan your journey to the very last detail, enjoy it and the great bunch of members that we have here.

Hi Sandra and welcome!  Keep checking in here for good info and wonderful pictures while you're planning your trip, although it sounds like you already have a great intinerary.  The first time we went to England, we ended up in North Yorkshire, largely because of this site.  We've been twice now and we also stop in to Ireland whilst we're in the neighborhood.  lol  Have fun anticipating your trip and enjoy yourself here.

Hi Sandra and welcome to POE! It sounds like an exciting trip you have planned. I hope it's all you hope it will be. :-)

Hi Sandra, Welcome to POE!! Congrats on your upcoming trip you will love it over there and you will love this website it is so helpful and the ppl on here are wonderful and willing to help;))

I need a bit of help with planning my Ireland itinerary. So much to choose from so little time. Could someone advise me  of the highlights and whether I should choose a few base towns to stay over night in various areas. We will be there in July for 7 days. 4 people traveling together. We will be starting and leaving from Dublin.

Hi Sandra:  Will you be renting a car? My advice would be to zero in on an area and not try to see too much.  If you pick a county for whatever type attactions you're interested in, it might be best to book a B&B for a couple or 3 nights at a time as sort of a base camp.  That would be the way to do it if some of the places you want to see are far from Dublin, like in the west or south of Ireland.  We were just there in August and stayed for a few days in County Meath right outside Dublin and visited Newgrange, Kells and Trim.  They were all great!  There is also a nice beach at Bettystown. 

Welcome to the site Sandra.
