Another of the stops on our tour was the town of Chester. This completely walled city built originally by the Romans around 2000 years ago has continued to thrive while changing to a very picturesque and bustling area. One of the most famous things here is the architecture which features two-tiere…

If you just need to get around in London and are not leaving the city itself, take the tube. Do not put yourself through the stress of driving in the city itself. Purchase a pre-paid Oyster Card for the tube. The tube is an excellent way to get around in London. Another plus is that you can go t…

If you are only going to London, Paris, and Venice, buying point to point train tickets would probably be the best bet. Since those are all popular destinations, the trains probably run pretty frequently. There are a variety of train options, but unless you want to stop at every town along the way, …

We have always found these Centres to be extremely helpful, no matter what country we have travelled in. If you don't have accommodation pre-booked, they are a good way to find some in and around the area you want to stay. They don't charge you any extra but take 5-10% of the tariff and you genera…

The security threat in the United Kingdom remains at a significant level following recent terrorist incidents in London and Glasgow. Travellers should exercise caution, monitor the media for any developments in the situation and expect delays at airports due to increased security measures.

This had to be one of the coolest stores, ever! The whole idea of it just amazes me. First off, it offers everything. You can find anything from MP3 players, to dishes, to movies. We bought an airbed because I needed something to sleep on during my stay at my friend’s place. The set up of the…

Not a bad airline. The plane inside seemed kind of old but whatever. You get one of those flimsy little pillows but no blanket so that sucks. They have big TV’s all down the isles to watch movies so you will be able to see them wherever you are sitting. Although you have to buy their headphones wh…

Personally, I would recommend a pair of comfortable walking shoes, lots
of pockets, and a good jacket. And don't forget plenty of spending

Covent Garden!
Happy traveling!

Back in 1753 a law was passed in England that required both parties to be at least 21 years of age or get consent from the parents. Scotland didn't have such a law, and so young people eloped to…

I actually have a blog about this called "London on the Cheap", but I thought I would put it in travel tips as well.
This is the short version:
1) Eating and Drinking
For a cheap night out as far as food, you should try to find a JD Wetherspoons. It is a chain, and usually has names like Mis…
