I've been planning this trip to London, Goodwood for the Festival of Speed and Bath it seems like for-ever! It really has been in the works for about 4 years because it's my nephew's high school graduation present. He knew about it when his sister graduated 4 years ago and her present was a trip to Paris. He chose London.
Our first hotel was booked in September 2014 for the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It's a a huge car race my husband wants to see and it was very hard to find a place to sleep. Those tickets came in the mail in October. I also received our tickets to the Ceremony of the Keys in October. Our itinerary is all set (but not in stone!). Some things will be weather dependent (an evening at the Wimbledon Championships and the London Eye) and we're still waiting to hear if we'll have a London Greeter tour of Greenwich.
I'm now down to the last details. Yesterday I purchased trip insurance, pre-booked our tour of Parliament, printed our 2-4-1 vouchers, and pre-booked the British Library Magna Carta Exhibition. I still have to talk to my credit card co. about the car rental, get our travelcard pictures, talk to Verizon about using the phone there, reconfirm our hotel for Goodwood and Cornerways B&B in Bath, and set an arrival time for the apartment in London. We have to order one more Michelin map for driving.
I'm ready to pack and be there already.
