We leave London on Wednesday, Sept. 5 and go to Dover for two nights before taking the ferry to Calais... Should we take the train all the way to Dover and get a tour to go back to Canterbury or should we try to take the train to Canterbury, get off and sightsee...try to store our luggage in the train station and then go on to Dover... or should we get a tour from Dover on Thursday and try to go back and see everything around there in one day?

There are frequent trains between the two towns (journey time - fast 15 mins or slow abt 30 mins) so I would get rid of your luggage at your lodging and go back unencumbered to Canterbury for the day. http://www.visitkent.co.uk/explore/thedms.asp?dms=13&GroupId=8&venue=3033943 Squeeze in a visit to Dover Castle? http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/dover-castle/
