You can host the next spelling bee for game night when you return. Lots of new archaic words to challenge the best of them. Glad you're settling in to the nomadic life and acclimating to new environs. We're with ya honey!

You became a Scotish arms smuggler?
More great pics! Love it. Snag me a kilt, too, while you're there. And some bagpipes. I'll practice them everytime the cat gets too meow-y.

Edinburgh day
Glad you sound a little warmer in Scotland...first time we were in Ireland, it was November, it rained, sleeted and snowed all in one round, while Sully tried to play golf at Lahinch and I walked along for the beauty of it all! Keep up your Energizer Bunny blog, it's very entertaining.

You killed a local, then played in a condemned building?
Not sure what to say after that. Scotland is on the top of my places to visit, so I'm loving the pictures. Have fun!!

Mandy, It will get better, the weather won't always be great but try to look around and make a memory whereever you go, and strike up a conversation, you'll be surprised how friendly most people are when you are travelling. Love reading your blog, I love to travel and am seriously jealous! Am looking forward to seeing your pictures. Keep your chin up. Sherry

You ate an unwashed sandwich?
Make sure you wash all sandwiches. Don't use local water, though.

Celebrity...
When alone at a restaurant, I recommend pretending you DON'T want to be noticed. Walk into the establishment, look around furtively, and slink into the table furthest from prying eyes. Imagine you're a celebrity out for the afternoon on break from set... Be ultra polite to the waitstaff too... You don't want bad publicity in the trades in foreign countries!!! ;-P

Doh! I thought it was the toilet! And no, Mr. Guitar Player didn't do it for me. I requested "Bat Out of Hell" and he had no clue! Not a love connection.

You hit on the guitar player?
That's not the public toilet. It's part of the original architecture, and only for display to tourists. The janitor is going to be very mad at you. Also: Yea!!

I'm enjoying your trip!
Hi Amanda! I am enjoying your trip so much- and its only just begun! It is such a wonderful distraction for me right now. Thank you for your e-mail prior to your departure. With so much on your mind, I can't imagine how you found time to ask about what was on my "mind." I'm doing find so far, just waiting for doctors appointments and surgery plans. I am enjoying traveling around the world with you. It is so much more fun than worrying about my stuff. Plese have a wonderful time- be safe and have fun. Take lots of wonderful pictures (as I am sure you will). Jen

You're in Roam?
Keep one of your books handy when dining. Somehow, reading while dining alone looks less awkward from the gawker's point of view. Or get a prosthetic eye with a death laser in it.
