The Berkeley Guides:
Great Britain and Northern Ireland:
Basics
Information to help you orient yourself in Great Britain and Ireland...
If you've ever traveled with anyone before, you know the two types of people in the world: the planners and the nonplanners. You also know that travel brings out the very worst in both groups: Left to their own devices, the planners will have you goose-stepping from attraction to attraction on a cultural blitzkrieg, while the nonplanners will invariably miss the flight, the bus, and the point. This Basics chapter offers you a middle ground, providing enough information to help plan your trip without saddling you with an itinerary or invasion plan. Keep in mind that companies go out of business, prices inevitably go up, and sooner or later you're going to miss a train connection. If you wanted predictability, you should have stayed home.
