    Off to Scotland on Thursday

    It is almost time! Less than four days till
    we are off.
    So any last minute pointers from those who have been would be greatly appreciated.
    We are going to Glasgow, Isle of Skye, Inverness,
    and Edinburgh.

    Any recommendations for a really good Pub with live music sessions would be helpful.

    The best advice I can give you is

    Take me with you

    How I would love to go my son was on Skye recently I could ask him of the best places, I know he really enjoyed being on Iona, I wouldn't miss that.

    Good luck Nelson, just remember those less fortunate than you at this moment who are not able to be with you. Have a drink for every one of us!

    Huzzah for travel!
    Have a great time, and remember not to ask for scotch whilst at the pub unless you want to be looked at funny.
    In Edinburgh, so I've heard, there's a legendary place that'll sell you deep-fried pizza. You owe it to your tastebuds to try it if you can find it.

    Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life take big bites. Moderation is for monks.
