Have a great time! We've been to England three times since 9/11/01. We go down to West Sussex, about 1.5 hour drive from Gatwick. We stay in the countryside, so can't help too much with London.

If you're going to Bristol you'll be going toward Somerset. It's a beautiful rural area. Depending on your budget, I recommend the Ston Easton Park hotel in Ston Easton, Somerset. It's pricey but worth it. 17th century country home in a pastoral setting. Great kitchen and personalized service. About 125 pounds/night as I recall.

Oh the countryside sound so wonderful- the train ride to Bristol is probably all we'll get to see of it, but I am really looking forward to it. And I'd love to do it next time! **taking notes**
