Fantastic plan! I'm currently studying at St Andrews University (yes, that's
where Prince William is going...), and would be happy to show folks around
Scotland: Skye, the Highlands, Dundee (home of Sirius Black and officially
the Greyest Town in the UK) etc. I'm also very familiar with Somerset, the
Lake District and Cornwall.

As far as flights go, I'd be more than willing to go enquire at the
University Travel Service here in StAs (bookable by phone and internet,
BTW...). As an example, they got me a fare for GBP 212 round trip
Edinburgh-NY at Xmas. Alternatively, I'm very fond of Expedia.com.

If anyone wants fare tips from someone who's been flying NY-UK for the last
7 years, don't hesitate to shout!

Question -- has anyone thought how to get about the UK? Rail is bloody
expensive (and not too safe, convenient or punctual lately), but air is okay
from Scotland-London with easyJet. Perhaps renting a coach or a couple of
minibuses? 

How terribly exciting!
