New York in the spring time

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I just bought my self a ticket to see the Yankees play the Red Sox on April 16th in Yankee Stadium! I feel like a 10 year old kid with a crush on baseball.
After this I will have been to see games (outside of Seattle that is) at Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium. Fenway is […]

Day 4, The sun is shining on the western shore

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Tuesday, March 20th 2007

Last night we decided to revamp our trip strategy to avoid the rough weather, at least for the short term. Rather than heading back North on the morning of the 20th, we made the decision to set out west from Pitlochry with the intention of over-nighting in the costal town of Oban. […]

Day 3, Winter in the mountains

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Monday, March 19th 2007
After an outstanding gourmet breakfast at our Edinburgh guesthouse, we left the city behind us in the morning and headed north on the A9 freeway. The last remaining bits of uncertainty about driving on the wrong side of the road where fading as we crossed the Forth Road toll bridge. Immediately we […]

Day 2, Travel to Edinburgh

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Sunday, March 18th 2007
After night filled with jet-lag induced broken sleep patterns and anxiety about getting to Gatwick airport in time the next morning for our Easyjet flight to Edinburgh, we were up and on our way out of the hotel. The morning was bright and crisp and London seemed much more appealing in […]

Day 1 (and a half), Travel to London

Friday, March 30th, 2007

We stayed up most of the night before leaving for the airport on Friday morning in an attempt to get ourselves adjusted to GMT before even leaving Seattle. It’s unclear if it helped the cause, made things worse, or somewhere in between. What is clear is that our trip started off on a negative note.
After […]

Home from Scotland

Friday, March 30th, 2007

After an unfortunate overnight delay in Chicago on the way home from London, we are home and rested after the trip. Scotland was amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our journey around countryside and all of the experiences we had.
In the coming days I will be making individual posts creating an ‘ex post facto’ […]

Isle of Skye

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

After one week of successfully ignoring the internet, we’re making contact from the east coast of the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
It’s been beautiful here, when the weather has permited. Even when it hasn’t the snow and rain haven’t been too much trouble. We’re off to Loch Ness this afternoon before making our way back south […]

Scotland road trip plan

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing around with Google Earth while planning possible options for our upcoming road-trip around Scotland. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s important for me that we leave our options open for spontaneity, but there’s nothing wrong with a basic plan… right?
We’ll have 5 days to cover a lot of […]
