Thank you ask away.

Please add us to the list DH, DW, and DD15 & DD12. We are currently planning our trip to be in London for 4 days and Dover for 2 days. Researching hotels vs. vacation rentals. We were in the UK last year on our way back from the MedCruise 2013 and found that the Tube was a great way to get around especially the double decker bus. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
We'd like to see the stonehenge, but does anyone know if it is far from London and whether they have anything else of interest in that vicinity?
We are Chuck, Lisa and Mason (15 at time of sailing). We booked this cruise while on board the Fantasy last week right at 8am when the desk opened for Platinum/Gold, and the rebooking lines were very long for the new itineraries. I have PM'd for FB access. We will also want to participate in FE . Chuck
We are joining you on this cruise.
Jon, Maria and Lauren (15)
We are staying on for the Dover to Barcelona 7 night just to make sure I get a tan!!

Coach to Dover Update....
Have initial price, but I will squeeze more out of them, which I will use to buy drinks,nibbles & candy for the passengers. I am going to set the price at £20 (roughly $30) per person for the trip to Dover from London.
Let Celestine or I know by PM if you haven't already registered an interest.![]()

It is London to Dover. Yes. Sent from my iPad using DISBoardsThank you both for arranging this! But, do you mean London to Dover?
I second Bath and Avebury! I was in Melksham for work a few summers ago and people at the company I was working with highly recommended Avebury instead of Stonehenge. Not that you have to pick one or the other if the tour does both, but I didn't have time to do both since the primary focus of my visit was business. But Avebury was a closer drive and I was told I could get closer to the stones and touch them. On the way back from Avebury I stopped at Lacock which was a cute little village and used in some of the Harry Potter films. If I remember correctly, the Lacock Abbey was the the inspiration for Hogwarts and they filmed some shots there as well.
I also got to visit Bath on my journey from Manchester to Melksham. I really enjoyed Bath. It was nothing like I have seen before. The history is so interesting to me, especially growing up in a country whose history does not go back nearly as far. I am certainly not the expert as I am from the U.S., but that's the little bit I know.
I am looking forward to more tips from the experts! The planning is almost as fun as the trip itself!![]()
Working on Private transfer rates for to and from airports to hotels, to port or day trips etc... an idea that may work for Dissers is to work amongst yourselves for day trips etc... For example if a few families want to merge: I can arrange a private Mercedes Viano (7 seater) vehicle with professional chauffeur for a day (8hrs) trip from London Hotel - Stonehenge - Bath - London Hotel for £400 ($660) or $94 per head. This will be far more enjoyable/faster than the train or tourist coach trip. On Stonehenge..I spoke to my contact today and he said most American tourists he takes there spend about ten minutes and I quote say "gee, they are just tall rocks" I suppose that is better than the Windsor Castle statement "nice castle, shame they built it so close to the airport"![]()

I can see how that can confuse some people...I said Dover from London, so yes London to Dover works as well

Sounds like a plan Paul.
We have have flown Easyjet to Gatwick and BA to Heathrow. BA to T5 was the easiest but I guess it depends on price.
Should be reasonable as it's just one way.
If it's a really early start from yours we can book into a local hotel the night before.
Cheers
Jon
Is there no end to your talents! Day job, Logistics transfers, tourist trips, and now you have Tony Blackburn's joke book and think my jokes are bad.
I know some tourists that went to Windsor got lost and thought it was all made of Lego, last time I was working there I was stopped and asked when does the Queen come out, during the band playing in the high street at 11.
Uses less fact they block post boxes there for security!
I think those prices are good value, Windsor is easy to get to Paddington to Windsor changing at Slough for the shuttle takes about 40 mins if you time the shuttle right.

Doh! So much for my critical reading skills.
No problem, we invented the language and I am still getting use to it!![]()
Even easier from Waterloo straight there....
Hotel or crash at ours for the night...Hotel Taylor is always open lol your choice offer is there.[/QUOTE
That's very kind, looks like we are trying to stretch it out to a 3 week break.
I am sure our good ladies can sort out some of the finer details.. Everything will be organised by May.![]()
