We have been planning this trip for a year now, and here we are just 4 days from departure. We have made our list of things to pack and loaded it all into our bags and weighed them to be sure that we don't go over the weight limits, especially on the regional airline we will be using to go from Glasgow to Islay. We are well within limits and will have room for the goodies that we are sure to find in the many distilleries on the island.
Our itinerary:
Sunday, July 26th - Depart from Minneapolis for London at about 9:50 pm.
Monday, July 27th - Arrive in London at about 12:15 local time.
Tuesday, July 28th - Sightsee around London.
Wednesday, July 29th - Depart from London Kings Cross station for the train ride to Edinburgh.
Thursday, July 30th - Travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Meet the rest of the group there.
Friday, July 31st - Picked up by Wilderness Scotland and taken to the Strontian Guest House.
July 31st - August 3rd - Hiking and sightseeing with Wilderness Scotland.
Tuesday, August 4th - Travel from Strontian back to Glasgow.
Wednesday, August 5th - Fly from Glasgow to Islay.
August 5th - August 7th - Sightseeing on Islay.
Saturday, August 8th - Take the afternoon ferry to Kennicraig and a coach back to Glasgow.
Sunday, August 9th - Depart Glasgow for the trip home via London.

Four days from departure! I guess I better go shopping for suitcase.
ReplyDeleteThis trip is already creating special memories and we have yet to get on the plane. How can ever forget learning of Sean's choice of underwear style? Or that Kim was packed (suitcase zipped closed) yesterday!
Looking forward to spending this special time with the family.
This is going to be one seriously cool trip. I'm even excited for the really long plane ride. I'm going to challenge myself to sleep for the whole ride, except when they serve food of course. I just hope my exercise regimen has prepared me for the hiking portion of the trip.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, forget the underwear thing. Besides "underpants" is 30% funnier than "underwear".
I assume you are too tired tonight to update your blog...HEY!!!!!!Hows it goin'?!?!?!?!?
