Explore United Kingdom!

Derek and Shannon were newlyweds. They had been inseparable since their engagement. Derek had a business of his own, and had to travel overseas a lot. Shannon missed him very much when he traveled. Now, as his wife, she travelled with him, wherever his business took him. She quite enjoyed being married to him! She wanted to take advantage of the freedom to travel with Derek, before kids came on the scene.

She kind of became his personal travel assistant, making his travel arrangements for him, whenever the need arose. Derek had to visit some clients at a few places in England the following week. Shannon had to set up his travel plans in a hurry. She was used to doing stuff on the Internet, being a personal assistant to a Director of a firm before she quit. She went straight to this website, which offered benefits and cheap hotel rates to last-minute travellers. She booked a few hotels at the different places at which Derek's clients were stationed. She went through some Cheap Manchester Hotels, and chose the one she liked best, in terms of price, and hotel facilities. Then she looked up Cheap London Hotels, and reserved one for Derek and herself. Birmingham and Edinburgh were two other destinations Derek had to stop at, and Shannon gladly booked hotels under Cheap Birmingham Hotels, and Cheap Edinburgh Hotels, getting such unbelievably good rates, she couldn't wait to see Derek's approving face!

She also looked up places she would like to visit while Derek was at the business meetings, and places she would like to eat at, when Derek was free to join her. In Manchester, one of the places Shannon looked forward to visiting was the Piccadilly Gardens. In London, she hoped to shop till she dropped, and also walk around the beautiful parks there. In Birmingham, she was looking forward to feel the presence of Shakespeare, and listen to some good symphony music at the Symphony Hall. In Edinburgh, Derek could indulge in his favorite past time - golf! Shannon, who had just taken up golf, could practice her golf swings with the set of new clubs Derek got her for her birthday!
