One suggestion, I think too many days to see London, not enough to see Edinburgh. Of the three, I think Edinburgh is the most enjoyable to visit. I also would not take the train but rather the plane from Edinburgh to London, to save time.

Sandy , my personal opinion only..I think you need more days in London, since you have never been there. <BR>There is so much to see and London is very easy to get around via public transportation.<BR>I love Edinburgh , too though. <BR>

Oh, oh...too many things to see and do. I have been in Dublin before, and the guys are really more interested in golf, So, maybe cut a day in Dublin and spend it in Edinburgh? That would give the guys three half days and eves in Dublin by dropping day 3?? Your opinions? Thanks. S

Sandy, me again. Yes, I would do what you could to add time to Edinburgh. I was underwhelmed with London and found two-three days more than enough before I wanted to get out. Edinburgh I stayed a week and wished for longer; it was just so comfortable (small-big city feel, and so clean!) and the people were incredibly friendly that I didn't want to leave. I've lived in Dublin, so I know that if you've been before you've probably done most of what there is to see.<BR><BR>Good luck!
