I think it takes about 6 months to organize the greatest vacations, just as it does to anything that will be awesome. That way, when you work with a professional on organizing a trip, you have time to go back and forth, modify things to your liking and make it perfect. We did that with the BEST-EVER U.S. travel service to the United Kingdom, Across the Pond Vacations in California. Here's a summary of my 5 of 5 star experiences:
Three of the most memorable and thoroughly enjoyable vacations we have ever had in our lives were organized by Across the Pond Vacations out of Torrance, Calif.
Anne Marie and Simon who own and manage the business. were a pleasure to work with, easy-going and provided the best suggestions of places to visit. It's all about planning.
We contacted them 6 months ahead of our trips and gave them some highlights we wanted to visit in 1 trip to England, 1 trip to both England and Scotland and 1 trip to Ireland. During that time, they organized personal tours (historical and haunted), found a Tudor castle for us to stay in (which was amazing!), found the BEST B&Bs and hotels;; and coordinated transportation in the U.K. and Ireland.
They presented options and without hesitation, modified things based on our preferences. Planning a comprehensive trip overseas requires time and all 3 trips we super-organized. We had a binder complete with schedules, maps, tickets, and tips on food, tipping, transportation, etc. The organization was something that was unprecedented by any travel service we've ever used. We will be returning the U.K. and Across the Pond will always be our first stop. They are the "Rock of Cashel" when it comes to traveling to the United Kingdom.

WHAT'S MORE: GHOSTS AND A BOOK I WROTE ABOUT MY TRIPS! - The vacations provided an extra bonus: GHOSTS. Since I can sense them, wherever we went I ran into some. In fact, after coming back from the three trips, I wrote and published "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." - It's a popular paranormal book on Amazon..
ABOUT MY BOOK: What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 4 books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits. In this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to the United Kingdom.
England’s rich history and many epic battles have caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he traveled, he had a paranormal experience. He explored royal palaces and spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him.
On one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning GPS. But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was also a very special visit from a canine ghost.
This book is intended to be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided to stay behind. So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the ghosts of England.
I am also planning "Ghosts of Ireland and Scotland on a Medium's Vacation." It's in editing now for 2022 or 2023.
