Travel Advice Please

[Pour1Malt]

Good day gents, the wife and I have been awarded the opertunity to spend 2 weeks in Europe. We want to see England, Ireland and Scotland. What I need is advice on an itenerary of things to do, and how long to stay in each country. Things I want to see/do: Stone henge, kiss the blarney stone, Guiness Brewery, Stay at Ferintosh (if P1m will have us), oh yea visit pubs for "research for the pub I plan to open after I retire". Any advice on travel or things that are "must sees" is welcome. I think I wil be flying into Dublin so that is the starting point. Thanks Guys.

TIPS-

dinnae try tae dae arr see tae much...and dinnae travel tae a new toon every day arr every other day.... (ya spend yur whale trip checking in & oot, upacking & packing cases, trying tae find a place tae park, trying tae find B&B's... gettin' lost oan wee roads... gettin stuck in traffic... sitting' in airports arr rail stations...and sae on....ya waste away yur holiday....)... stay a' each place 3 days arr maire befair movin' oan!

since ya arr a Navy man I'd suggest John Paul Jones Cottage... (a day trip frae Ferintosh)

This pub you plan to open.
first beer free if yer in a kilt?
sanctioned Kilt nites?
female wait staff in kilted mini skirts?
It will be a success...

If you go to stonehenge you will be disappointed far better to go to the stones in the isles.

If around Edinburgh the castle is obvious, but also the Forth Bridge, take the wee boat out to inchcolm abbey if its a nice day.

Try the Wallace monument if your about Stirling.

If your in Ireland try to catch a GAA game or up in Belfast a Rugby match at Ravenhill

Very well said, P1M

Look at the Scottish holiday thread, decide on just a few things you want to do while here and enjoy it.
Most people don't get to visit at all, so make the trip a memorable one without stressing yourself out.

If you're lucky, you'll get to come again before you know it!
