Amy P's 2017 UK Trip Itinerary
Created | Updated Jun 16, 2017
This is very much a work-in-progress, liable to be changed at any time. Things in italics are must-dos and must-gos, bold italics are set1.
Oh, a link to the map would probably be a good idea... Other links may be added later2.
If anyone happens to be at the same place I am at the same time, feel free to join me! For coordination purposes, I do have a very basic mobile to use in the UK. You can email me before July 20 at yahoo.com, with amy_p1 before the @, and "phone number" in the subject line.
