Go to England! I went for ten days (too short) at the beginning of April after an absence of 18 years (too long). In my area of the country (near Manchester) the people are friendly, welcoming and most of them don't try to steal your wallet. I had a great time visiting my parents, catching up with old friends, drinking English beer in pubs with welcoming log fires, and participating in a fantastic leather workshop run by an experienced British craftsman. When I die (coming soon) and go to heaven (?), it'll be just like that. So, when you have time and plenty of cash to spare, fly to England first class. I recommend first class because I was in the cheap seats in economy class next to the toilets (naturally) with my knees under my chin for about 14 hours on the long-haul flights - absolutely fabulous. I hope to skip that part when I go to heaven. Unless, of course, I find myself in the cheap seats next to the toilets for eternity - in which case, I'll obviously have been sent to hell...
