Thread: How do you go about booking a trip to London from Dallas, TX?

I would like to visit London with no relatives there or anyone that I know. However, I've never booked a whole trip before. I know that there are certain things you need to remember like plane, hotel, rental car(optional i guess), and thats all I can think of for now. What else would I need to know to book a normal trip for maybe a week or two there?

Get a budget in place. Decide what you can spend for your trip and what level of accommodations you can afford. The first thing is to book your airfare. You have to have your passport before you do this. Next decide what you want to do. For a two week trip to the UK, you should try to see at least some of the following: London (at least three or four days), Windsor (can be done as a day trip), Bath, St. Ives, Chester, the Lakes District, Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh, York, and then either Cambridge or Oxford. Time permitting you could also add a short trip to Ireland (fly from London) or to Paris (by Eurostar). By far the best way to get around is by train, so you should consider investigating as to what rail passes are available.
