Reflecting

 After having a great time traveling throughout the UK for a week and a half there are a few things to consider now that it is over. 

Borrowed a map from the internet to show our trip in red. 

The fun we had: 

1. Liverpool match and stadium tour 

2. Stonehenge 

3. Castles

4. Cavern Club 

5. High Tea

6. Roman baths 

7. Walking around Edinburgh 

8. A couple church ruins turned gardens 

9. The Globe Theatre 

10. Houses of Parliament and Big Ben 

11. Movie locations 

12. Stretcher Railings 

13. Markets

14. Beers/Ciders

15. Food

There were many more things that made this trip so memorable. More than less people we met were all kind and nice to chat with. All the bathrooms we came across were pretty normal, this was a legit concern. Riding the train and Tube was always an adventure.

Things to consider: 

1. Price

2. Time 

3. Overstimulation 

We spent more than we budgeted. Looking back there were places that costs could have been avoided or at least lessened. Food cost more than we had anticipated. We could have spent more time in Edinburgh and less in London or just cut out one city altogether to spend more days in one place. Being aware that there is a limit to how much a person can take-in in one day. It is also a vacation for us and that we can take it easy while doing all the things. 

Looking forward to the next trip! Where, oh where to go next? I’ve planned about eight trips in my head since we got back. Cannot wait!
