MaiTaiTom Gets The Royal Treatment…Two Weeks Exploring London and Scotland

It’s incredible how fast 15 day and nights go by.  In our whirlwind tour of London, Edinburgh and the Scottish countryside, we (myself, Tracy along with friends Kim and Mary) witnessed some of the most beautiful scenery we have encountered on our travels.  Couple that with magnificent castles, gorgeous gardens and the friendly people of England and Scotland, we certainly experienced The Royal Treatment.  Come and join us on our UK journey.
