I want to plan a trip to the British Isles with some friends and I need advice?
Q. All of us are graduating high school in the next week and this has been a dream for all of us.
I just don't know where to begin. We want to see Ireland and England.
Should I go with a travel agency? How can I reduce costs without sacrificing quality?
Can I just book all the flights and hotel rooms on a city like travelocity or orbitz? How do I rent a car to travel over there?
