  • Thank you very much Lina, I know that you will have an amazing trip! Does that mean you have cancelled your trip to Scotland in the spring though? No lunch for you! :o)

    Silly!! My trip to UK is still on. That will be a different trip either at the end of July or August. My friend and I actually already had exact dates but we just got invited to a wedding and might have to change the dates. I will definitely be in touch with you to get some info before the trip. Will need every tip and advise you can give me. :)

  • Sounds like your going to have a busy year, you better keep me informed so that I don’t turn up in New York and your away on your travels!

    I usually book my trips in February. Right now my UK trip is slightly in the air because my friends have some personal things and I’d rather come when they’re fully available so if in Feb they tell me they might be moving, I’ll have to postpone it till 2013… Iceland is penciled in for the last week of July. So it’s last 2 weeks of May and last week of July that I’ll be away. I don’t have a luxury of European vacation time so that will pretty much bring me to allowed capacity + a few days for being sick :) So plan away!!! x

  • Cool, were thinking of June time but nothing definite yet.
