Edinburgh Blues

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Last day in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning, I fly out at 9am… per Edinburgh Airport, that means I should be there at 6am… ouch… So, today needs to have an early conclusion so I can be done packing and all that fun stuff. I left with a 32 pound backpack, and I don’t think I’ve added enough to it that I should worry, but keep your fingers crossed none-the-less.

Scotland: Time Flies

Monday, January 8th, 2007

I’ve one more full day in Scotland to report on and am days behind in updating my blog. What a combo…

Ullapool to Fort Augustus

More beautiful scenery and history. That was true every day of the trip to the point that it becomes hard to really describe it.

Edinburgh: All Wet

Monday, January 1st, 2007
Some of you may have seen on the news that Edinburgh's street party was cancelled last night. All told since I'd been before, this wasn't crushing news for me. It was still a unique event in my life. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh: Multiplicity

Sunday, December 31st, 2006
As beautiful as yesterday was, today was its antithesis, but I'd read as much about today's weather. I had a very late start.  I think I stirred this morning around the appropriate time to wake-up, but I thought better of it.  ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh or Bust or Both

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

First, if you spot some strange characters, it's going to take me a bit to get used to the UK keys again, so bear with and all that jazz.

With each trip, I seem to be more haphazardly packing at the ... [Continue reading this entry]

And The Winner Is…

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
Okay, I waffled a million ways from Sunday about going to Egypt around New Years.  But of course, after I thought about it two days, the airfare was up over $300 more than it was when I first looked.  And ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh – Last Day

Sunday, January 2nd, 2005
Feeling more well rested today. Didn't do a lot yesterday. I did go on the tour of Mary King's Close. It was quite neat. They ham it up a little bit for the tourists - the guides and re-enactors are ... [Continue reading this entry]

Edinburgh – Day 4

Saturday, January 1st, 2005
Very tired today. Slept until nearly 10am. Am having breakfast as I write this. I only have one definite plan today and that's a tour of "Mary Kings' Close." I don't recall the full history but it's a section of ... [Continue reading this entry]

Day 4 – Edinburgh – Afternoon

Friday, December 31st, 2004
I'm SO TIRED. My feet ache like I can't believe. I just stopped at a Boots and paid an exorbitant (when changed to dollars) amount for some arch supports before my feet just die. When I walk at home, I ... [Continue reading this entry]

Day 3 – Edinburgh

Friday, December 31st, 2004
By and large doing well. My feet are about walked off. I can't imagine how many miles a day I've walked. I know I won't be walking for the rest of the week when I get back. I don't think ... [Continue reading this entry]
