Scotland


I am hermitting up. There are too many things I wanted to do this year that I didn't get to do and I will be making up for it next year. The first of those things is the Monterey trip. I am going before new years, alone if I have to. I have from Christmas to New Years off so it will be happening. Only the adventurous need apply. We will not be turning back because it's cold or you are geting little splashes of water on you.

The second thing is Scotland. This year we went to Cosamel and that was a lot of fun. Next year will be Scotland. One of the problems is I have this crazy vision of what a trip there should be like and it differs from what other people consider a vacation. I want to travel light; backpack, all items with me at all times. No suitcases full of crap. No hotel reservations. Have a long list of things we might like to visit but no set plans. Kevin is giving me lots of good advice about this. I originally wanted to go with a sleeping bag and tent but he suggested against it, saying B&B type places will work much better and are plentiful as long as you are there when school is in.

Current list of activities (will update as submissions are made):
The Broads
The B&B that my ancestors owned (Gramma gave me the details)
Islay
Edinburgh
Stonehenge and other henges
Battlefiels: Bannockburn, Stirling
Castles

Current tentative dates: May 29th - June 13th. This would require 9 days of time off if you get Memorial day off.

So, if this sounds like something you would like to do, let me know.

One of the ways I am sort of saving up for this trip is to not drink anymore until the trip. That's pretty extreme and I am sure there will be events that will present beer to me in great quantities for free that I won't be able to pass up but the idea is to save money by not buying beer all the time. Let's see how that works out.

In other news, we are playing Diplomacy again. The world has no other game as serious and emotional as this game. What a thing it is.

our scotland trip sounds like a good deal of fun. i like the loose itinerary idea, but really, you should have a place to stay at the very least.

just a side note: i stayed in a B&B in new orleans because i reserved lodging too late during jazzfest. it prevented me from getting laid because i had to be respectful of the dude's house i was in, and couldn't bring folks in after 10p or something. B&Bs may not be able to handle your exuberance!

Pay no attention to absinthedreams. You don't need no stinking place to stay. Something will always turn up.

I also have xmas -> new years off. Sign me up for the nautical adventure. I'll bring the free beer.
