MichaelW, that is a good thought. And it also solves a problem of where we'd fly into, because I'd be using miles for our flights (hopefully) and I have 400K of them on American, which does not fly to the NL...but does fly to London. Ferry or the Eurostar would make it easy to get to/from NL or Bruges, and we could come back via E Anglia or even Edinburgh. London would be a fine place to end up the trip too... I even have a favorite hotel there.
