Trip planning - which order - Scotland, Ireland, London, Paris

[markers]

Hi,

Our kids are planning a trip that includes Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, London and Paris - hopefully one day at DLP. They'll be flying out of New York and can visit in any order. They might be there for New Years and are thinking about Paris or Hogmanay in Scotland. Any New Years suggestions?

Anyone have suggestions on how they should plan their trip. After about 10 days our daughter will fly home and our son will stay in London for an internship.

So many choices - not sure where to start.
If you had your choice would you have the trip include New Years or arrive just after those celebrations?

All suggestions welcome.

I will have a think about a plan for you but have you also considered Wales? Wales is a smaller country than England but has a lot to offer, lots of castles and stunning scenery making Wales a far more interesting place to visit than England.
