We are currently looking at the Ireland trip next summer but maybe also Scotland. They run a couple days apart and I’m wondering how burned out we may all be. Has anyone here gone back to back?
Our first ABD was Italy immediately followed by a DCL med cruise-- our kids were then both preteen and it was a little long/tough on them. My wife and I have done back to back trips since-- including an ABD to Tauck, and BTB Tauck (land and river cruise), and though without the kids it was still a little long for us. I guess there is no easy answer here-- depends on your tolerance, whether you have young or older kids in tow etc. The plus side of course is doubling up your trip experience while reducing the number of flights etc.We are currently looking at the Ireland trip next summer but maybe also Scotland.

I’ve not yet done a back to back, but have also been looking at trying it with these two destinations. So, please post back if you do decide to do both with how it goes for you.We are currently looking at the Ireland trip next summer but maybe also Scotland.

I haven't done it, but on my Norway ABD last summer there was a grandmother/granddaughter pair who did Iceland immediately before Norway and other than their luggage not making it to Iceland with them (my worst nightmare) they liked doing back to back. The two trips you mentioned, Ireland and Scotland, are the two I've been thinking about doing BTB in the future. I think that'd be a natural pair of trips to link up.We are currently looking at the Ireland trip next summer but maybe also Scotland.

I'm a little confused. If they did Iceland first (before Norway) how is their luggage not making it to Iceland with them affected by the fact that they did Norway after the Iceland trip?I haven't done it, but on my Norway ABD last summer there was a grandmother/granddaughter pair who did Iceland immediately before Norway and other than their luggage not making it to Iceland with them (my worse nightmare) they liked doing back to back.

It doesn't! I just meant that was the only hiccup in their trip. Sorry if that wasn't clear.I'm a little confused. If they did Iceland first (before Norway) how is their luggage not making it to Iceland with them affected by the fact that they did Norway after the Iceland trip?
