We're just starting to work on more of the details for our itinerary... the basic plan had been:
Stay in London for a week
Rent car and drive north
See choir stalls carved by [livejournal.com profile] rackham's ancestors in Whalley
Take ferry to the Isle of Man
Take ferry back to London
Fly home

We're starting to gather together all of the recommendations we've gotten for places to visit and plot out locations to add at least a little effeciency to the whole thing. We're not all that stressed about trying to see *everything* because we know it's not possible. We try to approach these sorts of vacations with the idea that if we can make it over to England once, we can always do it again. :-)

We are planning on at least one day just at the British Museum, since I hear it takes several days to get through, we're going to look over some of the guidebooks ahead of time and decide what we most want to see there.

We're not terribly sure where else we're going to stop after we leave London. I'd love to just leave it up in the air, but I'm not sure how feasible that is. In the US, I wouldn't have any qualms about just heading out and finding a hotel wherever we wind up going, but I'm not sure that method would work as well in the UK. Our next door neighbors have done that sort of thing on their trips to England, but did point out that they have the added advantage of having family all over the country that they could fall back on in a pinch (he's originally from Devon).

And The Pinhoe Egg is just wonderful. I got mine on Saturday - so bang went Sunday. Chrestomanci vague in dressing gowns, and lots of Cat. What more could you want?

Oooo... you're nearly convincing me to just order it and hope it gets here before we leave! It's not like I'd have much time to read it while I'm there, anyway (since we'll either be out and running around or exhausted at the end of the day).
