Hello All! I thought I would try the travel blog thing to actually keep track of this trip and all the crazy trips and exciting adventures. So Welcome! So I guess of course I should start with the trip over... Day 1/2: Silly me, I stayed up most of the night and thought I would make it up during the flight over as I've done before and flew from st. louis to chicago (O'Hare for all of you familiar with THAT airport...) and had no problem, then had to transfer to the international terminal b/c i flew with Aer Lingus.

Missus Lorraine Dunbar By Miss Wendy O The Hen Night Dream Boyz, pink fluffy handcuffs and a dancing pole …. But enough about the stag night, the hen event was a much classier affair. In the afternoon, Lauren, Helen, Erin, Lorraine and I took off to Dunfermline for a spot of water-skiing. Of course a bottle of champagne was in order to prepare us for the cold icy waters on this drizzly Scottish afternoon. The Hen was first up and got to her feet before swallowing half the murky loch and retiring. I had a go wakeboarding, which was heaps of fun and had a few impressive falls as always. Erin created a new water-skiing technique called the J-Lo Style for obvious reasons (see photo), Lauren took to the water like a shark and Helen also ... read more
