Looks like I will be traveling to Cheshire UK (between Liverpool and Manchester) to meet with some software developers and engage in some training and certification in March. I will be in Cheshire for a week but I am looking at a side trip or two before and after. I would welcome any suggestions. Considering flying to London a few days early and maybe taking a day trip to Stonehenge. Might take a couple days and go to Amsterdam, not sure. My plan is to travel the whole trip without renting a car. What would you do if you had this opportunity?

Go somewhere they didn't serve British cuisine...and have better dentists.

True dat but in England you can get Indian cuisine that is better than in India--and probably other ethnic cooking as well. I found Burmese really good, too,  if you like other Southeast Asian cooking.

Take them a sack of Bojangles biscuits so they can learn first hand why their scones are such a miserable failure.  I can't believe those things became a fad here.

have a great trip.  Expect the weather to be like coastal New England; a damp cold.  Wool is your friend--a great souvenir would be a good tweed blazer, which is also good for travel.

have fun with the word use--GB and USA are nations divided by a common language.  Someone may offer to knock you up in the morning....
