    Well I stopped drinking alcohol over two years ago and Scotland's still got plenty to hold your interest even if you don't drink whisky. See the great cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh in the central lowland belt, with their impressive buildings; the granite city of Aberdeen where the buildings glitter after a shower of rain; the indented west coast with its tidal inlets and islands; the highlands with their rugged gandeur; the southern uplands with their old castles and tower houses which tell tales of Border Reivers and battles with the English; follow in the footsteps of Robert Burns around Dumfries and Ayr; need I go on?

    Oh...quit it!
    You're driving me nuts!
    My wife wants to go to Hawaii and I'm trying to make a trade for Scotland.
    No luck so far.
    I'll get there (again) though!!!
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

    Go to Dumfries. Stay at Ferintosh. Rent a car and see the countryside. Caerlaverock Castle, Mull o' Galloway, Wigtown, maybe take a ferry to Ireland for the day. Then a couple of days in Edinburgh before you go home. Those are our plans for June anyway.

    --still trying to work Cardiff (and Derek & Elaine) into the trip. David & Helen and Alex & Anne, can you come over for dinner one night perhaps?
