    Well actually coming over your way end of July early August for a couple weeks. Doing primarily Scotland but may do some of Ireland and England itself. Probably limited to a really short stay in London. Still with the Travel agent though. Wife doesn't know about this yet. Was just down in the Caribbean this past January and have two trips to Winnipeg this fall. Think that is enough for me this year. Oh, a three or four day trip with the Rat Pack this summer sometime on our rides. Destination yet to be decided for sure.

    About to head off for a week on the Great Alpine Road in Victoria, Australia. It is meant to be a fantastic ride. Staying at pubs along the way...can't wait :biggrin:

    Randy - as you are coming over in our "Summer" rather than just hire a car for your UK visit have you considered renting a VFR and really seeing the country? If you fancy trying out one of the latest VFR models - About Town Bike Hire in London have them for hire, and they come with all the luggage, and can even meet you at the airport. I have had bikes from them in the past for touring Spain. You really miss a lot sealed up in an air conditioned box, and on a bike, traffic jams and parking are rarely a problem.

    For my part this Summer I will be putting another 15k miles on the VFR. In addition to trips locally around the Alps, I will be in the Black Forest in Germany, and visiting relatives in Denmark, London and Nottinghamshire.

    I would love to do just that. My wife has made it perfectly clear to me, my riding escapades are a solo thing. She has never even sat on my bike and I have had it since new in 06. Actually I misread the original post which I am sure meant to be bike tours.

    Besides, another couple are possibly joining us. We have never been over to that side of the pond and have no idea what we will be doing so for now, I am leaving it up to the travel agent. I think I will drop in on Liz for a cup of tea though.

    I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to the Desoto Falls area of Georgia and Key West, Florida. I want to return through South Carolina and am looking at areas of interest. I like camping overnight and may stay in either Sumter National Forest or Francis Marion National Forest.

    I'm trying to get the time off to make two trips this year - the first, a long weekend, up and down the Natchez Trace, and then this fall, a trip up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive. The Blue Ridge trip will take a week (including riding to and from North Georgia).
