In the early 1990s I made two trips to Great Britain. The June 1990 trip was made with family-of-origin (parents and two of my siblings). The trip was two weeks long, and involved a rental car with extensive driving through just about every corner of the country, from Devon in the southwest to Inverness in the northern reaches of Scotland. In addition to England, Scotland and Wales, the trip also included three days in Ireland; this involved a ferry ride from Fishguard (Wales) to Rosslare Harbor (Ireland) and then yet another rental car. In addition, we climbed Ben Nevis, which is located in Scotland and is Britain's highest mountain. The 1991 trip was one week long and focused mainly on the south. It included London, Oxford, Exeter, Salisbury, St. Ives, and Bath.
