I've often imagined myself traveling between little British villages on my dream vacation,a grand tour of stately homes and estates. There may be a convertible involved, and perhaps I'd wear a headscarf. Basically, and I'd be Bridget Jones on a minibreak. This was a dream I was fairly sure would never approach true. I feared it would be an overwhelming amount of logistics and too much to see during a one-week vacation.
But I was wrong. I learned it's not too much for one week's traveling - or too tough to pull off - thanks to the team at Visit Britain,who took me on a grand trek between four of Queen Elizabeth's castles. There I was, the one American, or on a group that included eight other extremely friendly journalists from Australia,South Africa, Britain, or Turkey,Russia, Brazil, and China,and Indonesia. Even whether you aren't an Anglophile to the extent that I am - I did, after all, and host a video series called The Royal Report - this trip would be noteworthy fun. History,design, and architecture buffs will all acquire plenty to see and learn whether they tour all or just one of Queen Elizbeth's grand homes.
