Friday, January 5th, 2007

Yesterday was an entire day just on the Isle of Skye. The weather was decent, not perfect but good. Some occasional mist but really there was some sun, and it is Scotland in winter, so will not complain.

Since we were spending another night on Skye in Kyleakin (think I spelled that right), the morning was easy not having to pack and load the bus. So, easy start to the day and we were up to a couple of stops before lunch. Did a little sight seeing before stopping in Portree, the largest place on Skye.

Couldn’t tell you WHAT I had, but was something lemon and another strawberry, my two favorite flavors. [read on]

Home & The Long Way Round

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

We are such stuff as dreams are made on…

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005
Very long day. Well, I slept late at least, but I haven't stopped moving since. It was nearly 9am when I got up. That's not my norm on Sunday mornings, but then I normally have a large AJC waiting on ... [Continue reading this entry]

A Pilgrim’s Tale

Saturday, May 21st, 2005
End of day 3... Wait, I guess I should begin at the end of Day 2, since I left at the beginning of said day... I didn't do the B'ham Palace and Westminster deal. I had done both before and the ... [Continue reading this entry]

Houston TheEagle Has Landed

Thursday, May 19th, 2005
Well, it's really London, and it was more of a 767 than an Eagle... At any rate, I arrived here a bit after 11am. The drive to the airport was hell. Apparently an accident on I-285 which backed up 400 more ... [Continue reading this entry]
