Brenda and I are getting ready to leave for Scotland to stay with our very special friends, Denise and Bill. For Brenda, this is like "going back home". She has spent many springs and summers in Scotland, starting at age 15. For me, it is a new adventure. We stay in Carnoustie, right across from the golf course where the British open is often held. I was in Carnoustie with Brenda several years ago but we only stayed a few days since we were also traveling in England. I am looking forward to settling in this time and exploring the country. And, yes, I am taking my karaoke system with me for some special parties that are planned!
Last year, we met Denise and Bill in Malta. What a wonderful time we had! Our plane arrived on time, but our luggage didn't make it for 4 days. This time, we are both taking carry on luggage in addition to our checked bags so that we are more prepared. Brenda packs days ahead, cleans the house from top to bottom before we leave (?) and buys "gourmet food" to leave for our dog and Brenden. I will cut the grass one last time, and procrastinate packing until the night before! Then, off we will head for our 26 hour journey (flight times are ridiculous!). We plan to walk along the seaside, visit castles, drink in the sights, nourish our souls by exploring bits of history and make more special memories with our friends.
Here's to summer! Cary
