*eyes bank account*

Just found out that there may be overlap between the end of my current contract and when I'd need to be here if it gets extended (the guy I'm filling in for now comes back 1/28, and the guy I'd be filling in for after that leaves 2/8 or thereabouts.)

Which could mean enough free time for a trip to the UK for that event. :D

The only issue then is money, and as we're not currently budgeting for the contract extension, if that comes, we can probably swing it.

Gnarrrh. I hope this is possible. But I won't know for sure for a while, yet.



**ETA: Request to my UK peeps or those who have been there a lot**

With 12 days there, where would you recommend going? One weekend would be spent at the event (which is on the south coast) but the rest would be free.

Trying to see if this is possible budget-wise, and want to research transport/hotels for a possible tour itin. :)

If you like ancient landscapes, Wiltshire is wonderful. As well as Stonehenge you have Avebury and West Kennet Long Barrow, which is very impressive, and you could take a look at the wonderful 'Jurassic Coast' of Dorset, for some dinosaur related activity.

Right on. I love all our old stuff around here (all the ancient Native stuff is pretty fascinating, for one) and I'd love to see even more elsewhere.
