I'm going to England! With a poll.

[electricland]

So I feel somewhat productive. My travel plans are inching along, but I just emailed several people about my plans for the trip (yours is there too, mrs_cake, with some extra).

Which are roughly as follows:

• First weekend: arrive London Sunday Sept 23, go to Norwich (possibly via Cambridge) to see friends Lindsay and Scott.
• Fly to Dublin for a couple of days to see life_on_queen.
• Second weekend: Cornwall (possibly via Exeter), stay with friends the Carvers.
• Pootle around Cornwall and the South Coast for a few days. My friend Carol has offered to drive me around Kent -- need to see if that's still on and if so when it's feasible.
• Day or so in London at the end of the trip maybe possibly.
• Fly home Saturday Oct 6.

As I say, this is very very rough. I need to figure out how to get places from other places and how much it will all cost. I'm looking to do some hiking and some gazing at Roman remains and possibly some castles.

So, dear flist, this is where you come in! Please help me plan my trip with this handy poll!

I can only recommend first-hand places we went on our UK trip three years ago, but we loved Oxford and Bath, with a day-trip out to Avebury from Bath. We spent the remainder of our trip in London (about a day at either end, enough time to see the British Museum, the V&A, and Westminster Abbey, all well worth seeing) and Aberystwyth, which, while lovely, is probably too far out of the way for you if you're intending to stick to the south.

Your trip sounds fantastic, I am very jealious!!! My Grandmother lives in this lovely little town in Cornwall called "The Lizard" - not joking! Also, you should most got to another little town in Cornwall called "Lands End". It has a gorgious view and a fantastic hotel overlooking the ocean. I remember going there for lunch and walking around the beach and hills... beautiful!

I'd definitely opt for Cornwall & Wales first, but if you are in Kent do run through Canterbury.

Go you! Er, going to England sounds like a very good plan. Check out the Sutton Hoo treasure at the British Museum if you can.

How does Oxford have more votes than Cambs? This may not continue. Can I vote again? ;)

I've had some thoughts on Cornwall. In yer inbox, ma'am.
