England

Best ways to improve this book:

I've been thinking about this. You have a good size right now and a delightful presentation. If you add, you're going to overdo yourself. Perhaps, as time goes by you'll do a Volume 2 for those who have dog-eared the first book. We are about there. We're gone twice now and have really done a good job on both trips. Next time, we'll need an upgrade of more obscure delights.

Maybe a 2 page, 4 week calendar that allows you to fill out with the dates of travel to allow you to sketch your trip out.

One of our English friends said that they were envious of us because we had "Rick Steve's England". They wished that an English writer would write the equivalent of "Rick Steve's England" for English tourists to use when they are touring within their own country.

We also had the London Book and found them both absolutely invaluable - the Bible according to Rick as my husband said. We found the maps a bit challenging - nightmare finding our way around Bath. Perhaps more detail or a recommendation not to rely on them and to have a road map as well!

Its hard to find out information on the city of Birmingham, UK. I found the city delightful as I was there for a few days visiting friends. I also discovered it was much easier than Heathrow to go in and out of customs and to even catch trains. My next trip to England I will probably use that same airport for the ease that I had. It took me less than 30 minutes from landing the plane to actually be at the train station on New Street in Birmingham that from there you can go almost anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales...or you can go take less than a 3 minute walk from there to get to the other station to the others! I also wish there was more mentions on the other types of travel as last year I took a canal cruise on the Trent-Mersley Canal in the Midlands, where I met many kind people and saw the true non-tourist parts of England. I am still in contact with many of those people. In fact I visited them this last vacation a few weeks ago!
