This blog is a record of the trip that Nick and I (along with his stuffed rabbit, Rabbit) will be taking to Europe. I have started planning the trip and even booked some of it. I initially started planning it months ago but had to shorten the trip and change the itinerary more than a few times. The plan so far is 6 days in Ireland via a "tour" (which I'll describe later), then a few days in Edinburgh, a jaunt around northern Scotland, driving down to London and Stonehenge and then a few days in Paris. The second half of the trip (starting with Scotland) is still in the planning stages but the first part, the Ireland part, is already booked.
I found a great package on www.sceptretours.com called The Emerald Package. The first of the six nights is spent in a hotel in Dublin. Then you're given a rental car and the second through fourth nights are spent driving all over Ireland, anywhere you want to go, and staying in Bed and Breakfasts. They have a list of ones that you can stay at and you call them/email them and reserve your room for the night. Hopefully it really IS that easy. The fifth night is spent at Ashford Castle which is a 5 star hotel inside a castle, http://www.ashford.ie/index.php. Then the sixth night is back at the hotel in Dublin. Not a bad trip, I must say!
I'll write more about the rest of the trip once I've sorted it all out. =)
