After a great train ride on Friday from Berwick Upon Tweed we landed in Greenock. There was absolutely nothing to do there so we checked out the next morning and headed for Glasgow. Today Sunday we took a bus tour to Loch Lomond Aberfoyle Sterling Castle. It was a great photo taking day and I canrsquot wait to share them all. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/Scotland/Glasgow/blog-254458.html Hi to all you travelers living vicariously through me. This is blog 1 from Brooke because well lets face it I am a lazy kinda girl. Flight here was never ending and fairly uncomfortable but they did keep us very fed whch was nice. When we arrived we were met by our scottish driver named Andrea she could talk a mile a minute but had a hard time talking and driving I thought we might die at lea http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/Scotland/blog-253415.html Day 1 CindyDC to Edinburgh Had no problem with the first two legs of my flight. Planes were flying on time and the 777 I flew in from Raleigh to London was barely 13 full so we all had plenty of room to stretch out. We even got a meal I havenrsquot had that on a plane for a while. Each seat had individual video on demand so there was quite a selection of movies to choose from. It was a new http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/blog-253412.html Well I made it to Raleigh and will soon get on the plane for London's Gatwick Airport. Brooke made it at least as far as Seattle but since I don't have my cell phone I will trust that she is now on her way to Amsterdam. I have 3 photos to share and this may be the last time to make an entry for a day or two. Wish us luck http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Raleigh/blog-252055.html OK...last day at work was yesterday and I feel fairly confident that I'm not leaving a big mess for LTC Boatman Erv and Nizelky. I have had the most wonderful news in regards to the trip. Russ Huard a LtCol who used to work in my office lives in Lakenheath England and is going to come by Kirk Yetholm and act as tour guide for a couple of days This negates the need to get a rental car and hop http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Maryland/Upper-Marlboro/blog-251652.html First of all I guess I should have been putting the location of where I am right now not where I plan to be next Monday. Guess I'll go back and change the previous entries.I am posting a couple of photos of my altered suitcase that I just completed. This is an idea that I've had for quite a while...well ever since I started traveling quite often and noticed that the entire traveling populatio http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Maryland/Upper-Marlboro/blog-250123.html Hey this is Brooke getting ready to go with mom to the country of large warriors and skinny poets. I guess I have to dress up my luggage also so it wont get lost. Cant wait to leave. 7 days to launch time. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Idaho/Boise/blog-249739.html So I've selected my luggage and I'm 'touching it up a bit'. This means that I'm making it very visual so I can find it easily on the luggage carousel. Of course it may turn out so well that it gets stolen tooWhat I've done is used fabric paint and rubber stamps to create a scene on my bags. I'll add a photo as soon as they are done. I've decided to take two medium bags rather than 1 large one. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Maryland/blog-249593.html Today is my 50th Birthday. To honor that milestone my eldest daughter Brooke and I are heading to Scotland. This blog will follow the planning and execution of that trip. Stay tuned and join us on our journey http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Maryland/blog-245369.html
