Yikunoamlak With regards to Caitlin and rail ntrkoews I think it depends in the UK where on the network you live. I do not use the train long distance often (about 10-12 times a year) in last year had no delays and for my ticket to London have not paid more than a325 return. By car this would take me 3 hours instead of 2.5 by train and probably cost more in petrol. Locally which I travel more often, I not had a train more than 10 minutes late and normally pay about the same as 3 hours parking. What I hate is all the buses seem to leave 5 minutes before the train arrives. Why can we not have joined up thinking?

Venkatesh Hi Eric,I love your honesty! We are also an ooodutrsy family, thanks to my husband. He started the camping, hiking and backpacking journeys and we gained wonderful memories from those times. Our kids are older now, so camping and backpacking have taken a backseat, however, they won't be there for long. Anyway, thanks for your visit and for liking Illusion. I hope you'll return and I look forward to hearing more about your adventures, too!Lauren
