Each summer for the last few years my wife and I have taken our two granddaughters (ages 12 and 15 now)on a two week vacation to another country. We've been to Mexico, Holland (twice), Washington DC (yes it is another country!)and France--this year it is England and Wales. We stay four days in London, then a rental car to Salisbury and Stonehenge, then a stop in Bath, then Stratford upon Avon a few days, then a stop by the factory for a mini-tour to see where granddad's Morgan was born. After that, on to Wales to visit some old RAF friend and maybe a short ferry and stay in Dublin, thence back to Heathrow and home.
Rented a Ford estate with a GPS--you gotta do what you gotta do with four people and lots of teenagers' luggage. Driving out of central London heading west on a Tuesday afternoon hopefully won't be too bad. We've lived in England before, so we know basically what we want to do on this trip, and we've been to the factory before several times, but years ago when it was very informal (back in the day, we shared tea with the wood-working crew brewed over the glue-pot gas hob.) Don't know what this short pre-arranged factory tour will be like--11:00 on Friday the 27th of June--all the girls want is just see a little of the factory.
Looking forward to our trip and hopefully some good weather.
