I recently was able to spend a week in England with my sister. I highly recommend this as an activity for any siblings who have managed to hit their fifties and not taken a vacation together.
To see pictures of our week, go to http://flickr.com/photos/withatwist/sets/327168/
As you will see from viewing the pics, we stayed in a flat in Windsor and had a great time exploring the town and of course, the castle. Additionally, I was able to connect with an old friend who took us on a fabulous day tour of the English countryside. Henley on Thames, Sonning.... strolling along the Thames and through the villages was wonderful. In Sonning we were caught admiring some flowering shrubs by the elderly owner who then invited us into his walled garden behind the house. He took us from plant to plant telling us a story about each one. We were invited into his ramshackle greenhouse to experience the aroma of his newly flowering Jasmine. He eventually sent us on our way, each with a Magnolia to enjoy.
A wonderful vacation in all. Site seeing, friends, and time with my Sis.
