My current plan is to revisit England and France in July, 2014. Nothing is booked yet, but the details are on the drawing board.

1 July I will fly out of DFW via British Airways to LHR, arriving on 2 July. After going through British customs and immigration, I’ll take the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station, the Tube to King’s Crossing, the Chunnel to Paris and the train to Lyon. I’ll revisit the Roman sites in Lyon. New will be day trips to Vienne and Orléans. Then I will take the train to Nimes. After vising the Roman sites there I will do day trips to Arles and Pont du Gard. Then it is back to Paris by train. I will visit the Louvre, this time armed with my camera. I plan to do a day trip to Versailles and possibly Chartres.

Then it is the Chunnel to London. On my to to do list is more time in the British Museum, the Roman Museum, etc. I will revisit Canterbury (one of my favorite places to visit) and York. I may do day trips again to Bath and Salisbury (Stonehenge). Then the plan is to take the train to Haltwhistle via New Castle. Never heard of Haltwhistle? It is on the English-Scottish border near Hadrian’s Wall. There are remains of the Wall and Roman forts and towns in the area as well as museums. Then it will be back to London where I will spend the night at the Heathrow Airport Hotel before returning to Dallas on 31 July.

A visit to Greece and Turkey is in the planning stage for 2015 and Italy in 2016.
