Hahahahaha. Best response, ever. smile

My wife's uncle and aunt teach at an American university that has a large estate there, which gets used as a small campus. We went over to visit last year in March, I think it was. Spend your two minutes visiting Nottingham to do the Robin Hood thing (if that's what you like), and then be on your way. If you'd rather visit a smaller town than London, my wife and I enjoyed York -- it's a nice day trip from Grantham. The trouble with visiting London on such a short schedule is that, unless you've been there before, or know you'll be back soon, you end up rushing around trying to fit it all in, which is damn-near impossible, and quite exhausting. (Of course, if you and Vixy like theatre, you shouldn't miss the chance to see something on the West End.)
