I have found some good information on this BB, but because the topics seem to be so wide-ranging, it's sometimes hard to find it all. When I went to the Caribbean, there were several BBs that I used that were for specific islands, and got some great ideas and answers from them. Now, I'm looking specifically for information on travelling in the UK. Can anyone point me to a bulletin board that deals specifically with travelling England, Scotland and Wales? Thanks!

Melanie, I just ordered my mother in law a book called "the best Bed & Breakfasts in England, Scotland and Wales" I ordered it though Amazon for about $20.00 it seemed very well researched and had tons of color photos.

Thyra <BR> <BR>(whispers- I think BB is Bulletin Board, not Bed & Breakfast. I only spotted your leap of logic because I did exactly the same thing

Don't forget you can just click on England and not have to read all the posts on other areas. On the UK try going to www.theaa.co.uk/hotels/.

We just returned from a trip to England, Scotland, and Wales. It was fantastic. Here are some tips: <BR>1-Never leave anything in your car. If you do, put it in the trunk, and don't let anyone see you do it. A couple at our B and B in Wales had their car broken into and lost a great deal including clothes, souvenirs and film. The car rental agencies may try to give you a better deal to take a car without a boot (read trunk), but don't go for it or your stuff may get pinched (read stolen). <BR>2-Make every effort to visit Edinburgh in late August during the International Festival and the Military Tattoo. It is a beautiful city anytime of year, but these events are unforgettable. <BR>3-Don't go out of your way to see loch ness. It is beautiful, but it is the definition of a tourist trap. There are many other beautiful places to visit. <BR>4-If you are driving through the highlands, pack dramamine. I had never in my life gotten car sick, but there is a first time for everything. <BR>5-If you are interested in scenery, definitely check out northwest Wales. Take Snowdon Mt. railway on a clear day, and you will see one of the most beautiful places in the world. <BR>6-In London, get aquainted with the tube during the day. Likely you will end up taking it home at night, because taxis aren't easy to find. If you are interested in nightlife, head straight for Picadilly Circus. <BR>7-B and B's are your best bet in the counntry side (~$80 buys a room with private bath along with a full breakfast and invaluable tips from your host), but in London, hotel rooms may be the most convenient (albeit small-very, very small).
