THIS IS IT !!

"Alright! You can stay in my bedroom, but I'm not giving you the Mormon discount"

We're on our way to Scotland!

Tomorrow morning we leave for the first leg of what will be the better part of two days of traveling. I'm not going to complain because in the old days it used to take up to a week to get to Scotland. Can you imagine? At any rate, on Wednesday morning, we'll be arriving in Edinburgh (pronounced Ed-in-bur-row,, Can anyone tell me why they can't spell something like it sounds?) So, this will be the last post until we return, on or about, October 6th. The Bad thing is that you'll have to put up with more Scotland stuff, but the good thing is that at least you'll be seeing photos that we actually took instead of something I found on the web.

So, A h-uile la' sona dhuibh 's gun la' idir dona dhuib ( May all your days be happy ones)

How will we look in kilts?

Anticipating Scotland!

Two weeks from today we'll be winging our way to Scotland! We're counting the hours and wish that we could take all of you with us! The first thing we're going to do, is visit Roslyn Chapel, from the DaVinci Code. ( It's on our way to the Borthwick Castle where we're staying for the first two nights. )

Scotland is rightfully proud of it's scenic beauty, but that's not why we chose to go there. I'd match the beauty in the mountains around Yellowstone Park against any in the world, and the fantastic seascapes and primordial forests of the Great Northwest are beyond my poor powers of description. No, we're going to experience a land and people that are unique in all the world. A land that is the home of ancestors for both of us, and above all else, it is the home of "Haggis"! Yes, we are traveling halfway around the world to taste real scottish haggis. So wish us "Boinne ann am beul na gaoithe" which is gaelic for something really cool I'm sure..., I just don't know what.
