    Well it's a holiday here in the US and I'm taking full advantage of my day off from the office. The laundry machines are humming, the electronics are charging and the packing is proceeding for in about 50 hours I'll be presenting myself at Dulles Airport so that I may be subjected to the horrors of trans-Atlantic air travel. :crap:

    Ahh well. After the horrid trans-Atlantic flight and some breakfast and / or beer in Amsterdam, ANOTHER flight, a bus ride, lunch and / or beer at Glasgow Central Station and a train ride I should arrive at Ferintosh only a day after leaving home. At that point mad hi-jinks shall ensue. (Well, maybe a shower first)

    Signing off.....for a bit

    I'm signing off for a bit...The car will be here to pick me up in 1/2 an hour. Yes, folks FOUR HOURS before flight time.(I live 15 minutes from Washington-Dulles) Apparently Dulles is jammed with post inauguration traffic. I have no idea what I'll do at the airport for that long.....er.....well....plenty of bars, restaurants, shopping and smoking lounges..did I say bars?

    I'm on my way. Good luck and godspeed to all and we'll see you tomorrow / Friday. Looking forward to fish & chips and mushy peas at Caven's Arms.

    Robertson and Emma, I'll call from Glasgow Central tomorrow lunch time.

    (Did I mention that I HATE trans-Atlantic flights?) Oh, to layover for a night in Amsterdam! Of course then Robin and Michelle would have to retrieve me to finish the trip.
