Driving in the UK
Jim,
My wife and I did a 3,000 mile driving trip in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland last year and it was amazing! We flew into London, picked up our car there. I opted for a manual because I like to drive a stick. We got lucky and got a new (5 miles) Kia SUV with a great navigation system. The trick to driving on the other side of the road is to be very intentional at the start of every day. I found that I you got started going the right way it was pretty easy from there. Sitting on the.left side of the car and shifting with your left hand is a constant reminder. One thing we did constantly is walk up to the wrong side of the car to get in.
We had no incidents or trouble navigating. We just followed the GPS. One thing you should do is book the ferry's in advance. Make sure you get there early. The ferry's are a great part of the adventure.
