travel

[gilana]

I'm starting to think about a trip to the UK this winter for a friend's wedding in London. I just called my travel agent to start looking around, which turns out to be handy because she's retiring and the office is closing tomorrow! She says that airfare around the holidays gets expensive and sells out quickly, so I really should book now. She found me a flight from Boston to Scotland, then home from London, for about $600, then $162 for the train to get from Scotland to London. Then, of course, I still have to figure out where to stay and how much that will cost. I hate having to make decisions involving large amount of money by myself, and I'm a little nervous about committing so far in advance. Is Scotland the right place to go? I've been to London before and loved it, but I want to go someplace new. Any opinions? Someone tell me to just go ahead and do it!
