We'll want to go to Cornwall as soon as we get to England, but the thought of either wasting a day resting in London or spending 5 1/2 hours on a train right away is daunting. So....here is my plan. Please, anyone, tell me what you think.
We're taking the early AA flight and will arrive at Heathrow at 10:45pm. We've taken this flight before, and since it's dark when we arrive (and we will have gotten up at about 4 am) it is easy to sleep. Instead of going into London, we'll stay near the airport, and in the morning we'll go to Gatwick. The flights to Newquay leave in the afternoon, so I guess we'll be wasting a day after all, but at least not trapped in a transport conveyance.
Is Newquay worth a few days? If not, we can hop on a bus to St. Ives or elsewhere in Cornwall right away.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can point out flaws in the plan. We have lots of time to change. It's been snowing for several days here, and I'm trying to think of nice places instead of snowy ones!
