• You do not want to skip ahead in line when you’re in England. They do not look kindly on anyone who does that. They will mutter and stare at you.
• They apologize a lot, even when you are the one who is at fault. So you want to keep that in mind.
• People say that England doesn’t have the best food. That’s not necessarily true anymore. You can find some good food and good restaurants throughout the country now.

• You are going to want to listen to the way the natives pronounce city names because they are different than the way you would think they would. They drop syllables often.
• People are going to speak somewhat differently in the different regions. And you are going to hear all kinds of accents when you are in London itself.
• When you see the sun come out, take advantage of it and enjoy being outside while you can. You will be glad that you did.

• Obviously there is a whole lot that you can do in London, but you don’t want to forget that there are things that you can do outside of London as well. For example, you are going to see some gorgeous countryside.
• Yes, England is part of Europe, but that doesn’t mean that they do everything the same way. That includes their electric outlets, so you want to be careful about that.
• England has a lot of great museums. And the better news is that most of the museums will be free.

We may think that we know London because we have watched some British shows. I know that I love some of the British shows, they’re great. But watching their shows, or reading their books, is not going to prepare you for actually going to London. Here are some things that you should keep in mind.

• You are going to want to take a jacket, no matter what time of year you travel. It can get quite cold because of all the rain they have. And so you probably also want to take your umbrella.
• People do like to talk about the weather there. And that’s especially true when the weather is nasty. You will want to have some kind of opinion about what the weather.
• England’s train system has been privatized making it one of the more expensive systems in Europe. You are going to want to have your trips booked three months in advance.

When I first got money from my siblings to go on an international trip, I thought I would go to London. When I looked into it more and decided to go see dear friends in Cyprus and places like that I realized going to England was not a big thing to me.

I actually have been to London. We spent a long layover between the airport and a hotel. And that was what we needed to do.

Are you planning your first trip to London, here are some things you might want to do.

• British Museum
• Big Ben
• Parl
• Westminister Abbey
• St Paul’s Cathedral
• Buckingham Palace
• And do not forget to have afternoon tea

• When you are traveling to Europe. You are likely going to fly through the night and arrive sometime in the morning. Europe is several hours ahead of us. The best thing to do is to go ahead and stay awake until the evening if you can. Sometimes you have to take a nap, but try to get on schedule as quickly as you can. However you probably won’t want to do anything that is important that first day or two.
• You are going to want to do some research on when you want to go and what you want to do. Summer is usually the time you want to avoid when it comes to going to Europe because that’s when most everyone wants to go. Summer is also the time when a lot of the shop owners want to take a break of their own.

• In Europe, you are often going to have a choice between flying or taking the train. You might think that a flight is going to be more efficient, but it usually isn’t. You are going to be in the airport longer than a train station.
• You can fly into one city of Europe and then fly out of another. You should do that, again it’s a way to save on time.

Going to Europe can be so fun and exciting. It’s one of those trips that can be a dream come true. So sometimes you feel like you’re under all this pressure to see and do everything you want to do, but how can you do that?

• You do not want to try to do everything you would like to do in Europe at one time. That is just too much to do at once. You would feel rushed doing everything and won’t feel like you have seen anything well. Try to just pick one city and explore it for every three days that you are going to be there.
• You are going to want to be sure that you are factoring in your travel time. You probably won’t do much the day that you arrive in Europe. You need to think about the travel time and also the time you will need to get settled in your hotel or whatever.

• Do you just want to go camping and relax? You might want to get away from everything and everyone. There is a place called Joshua Tree, and it’s a great place to get away. You might be surprised to find that this place is in California. You are going to find a lot of places to hike, no matter how experienced a hiker you are.
• Are you looking for a lake getaway? You might want to look at Lake Champlain which is in Vermont. This is a great place to go skiing in the winter. And in the other seasons there are a lot of shops and restaurants that you can enjoy.

• Are you looking for some time for fun in the sun? You may want to try Key West which is in Florida. This is a place you can go and feel like you are out of the country but without the trouble or expense. This is a beautiful place to stay for a long weekend or so.
• Are you looking for some good fun. Aspen, Colorado is going to have a lot of nice shops and restaurants that you and your family can enjoy. You are also going to find some great skiing in the area.
