The last day of our trip on Friday was AWFUL.
Left Aberfeldy at 7am.
Just Andrew and I, luckily, so one else could make us late.
I had a sore throat and the beginnings of a head cold.
We returned the rental car (after missing the airport off-ramp because we were driving INTO the [...]
Once Mom had gotten her St. Andrew’s sand, we jointly decided to get back in the car, drive south to the little East Neuk fishing villages and find the fish and chips place both Rick Steves and a friend of my mom’s had recommended – the Anstruther Fish Bar.
Of course, we followed Kevin’s [...]
Thursday. Our final day in Scotland. It feels like the week went by so fast! There’s so much more to see in the country!
I added St. Andrew’s to the itinerary primarily because of Dad … and his desire to see the golf course.

From Rick Steves:
St. Andrews
For many, St. Andrews [...]
… continuing our Skagway Gold Rush tour ….
On the way back to town from the Canada border, we stopped at Liarsville – sounds picturesque, no?
Liarsville is basically a recreation of a mining town or similar, complete with tents set up for the press, a laundry service and a madam.
We leave for Alaska in exactly 1 month.
And we are SO FAR from being prepared!
It’s not that I’m not looking forward to the trip … it’s more that I am SO MUCH looking forward to being ON the trip that I just mentally skipped over all the prep work.
What I still [...]
We’re getting so so close to our Alaska cruise planned for this summer!
I’ve been trying to remember the details of the last Alaska cruise I took …. in 2003 with my parents and brother.
I was living in Arizona at the time (going to ASU) and my family was all still living in [...]
That’s right – Andrew and I are going on 2 (count ‘em TWO!) big vacations this year!
Both happen to be in the summer …. and both with family….
We’re not wealthy … Just lucky
August 2011 we will be spending a week in SCOTLAND!
{The original plan was to go to Ireland [...]
We have a vacation planned and booked for the last week of June 2011 ….
First of all – I love being able to say we have a vacation booked. It’s a very different thing than having a vacation merely planned. Paying for plane tickets and all makes this much more REAL.
Second of [...]
Sunday Sunday!
Our last day on the cruise …
Once again, the other girls were out until 5a or so, while I went to bed at a reasonable Midnight the night before.
Which means when I woke up, got showered, left, ate breakfast and was out on the pool deck by 9:30a – I [...]
Saturday of our cruise was “in port” in Ensenada, Mexico.
Since many of our fellow cruisers were off the ship, breakfast/pool deck/etc was delightfully un-crowded.
We all got up, ate, and took our sweet time about it …
Getting off the ship, there [...]
After our wonderful sunny day in the Tuscan Countryside tasting wine, olive oil and a traditional Italian home-cooked meal everyone was kind of beat. The next day Angela and Devo had a full day of getting married and I think most of us just wanted to relax and be available to help prepare for [...]
