Well,
today was the day. I booked my flight (one-way) on Virgin from New York (Newark) to London (Heathrow). The total was a lovely $280 all-in. For my return, I'll be booking an Aer Lingus flight Dublin - New York, $
200 all-in.
My trip itinerary is roughly thus:
December 19th - Fly NY - London
December 20th - Arrive London in the morning, spend the day in London proper, fly to Tampere (Finland) in the evening. Arrive Tampere and take the train to Helsinki.
December 21st - Board Silja Line cruise to Stockholm.
December 22nd - Arrive in Stockholm in the morning. Spend the day in Stockholm. Board the cruise back in the evening.
December 23rd - Arrive back in Helsinki.
December 26th or 27th - Fly to London. Spend a few days in London, then return to Helsinki around December 30th. (Still tentative)
January 15th - Take the ferry from Helsinki - Tallinn and spend the night in Tallinn, Estonia.
January 16th - Fly from Tallinn back to London. Spend some time in the UK & Ireland (exact dates and places undecided).
January 22nd - Fly back to New York from Dublin, Ireland.
I haven't yet booked my return from Dublin yet, but it looks as though it'll be that Sunday, January 22nd. Between the 16th and the 22nd, I'm hoping to plan London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Dublin. It'll probably be 2 in London, 1 in Birmingham, 1 in Edinburgh, and 2 in Dublin. It'll just depend on what I get for flights or coaches and such.
So
there is my first international trip (other than my usual trips to between the US and Canada) I've planned and started to book since discovering Travelpunk!
What do you guys think?
Anyone up for a meet-up?
