                             I'm Taking Off
                                  Again  
                            
                            
                            So here I go again.  This time I
                            am having a look at the 
                            
                             
                            UK
                            .  I am starting off in
                            
                            London
                            but the first grand adventure is I am
                            going to sail on this ship for 3
                            days!!!
                            
                             
                            
                            
                            We will be looking for whales in the
                            ocean and then heading down
                            
                            Loch
                            Ness
                            . They have sonar so we can hunt for
                            nessy. There will also be Scottish
                            dancing, folk music, and
                            stories. 
                               
                             
                            
                            
                            Where are the pictures where are the
                            pictures!
                            
                             
                            
                            
                            As you probably know we have been a
                            little busy in 
                            
                            
                            Texas
                            since I have gotten back.  I have
                            been hosting friends
                            from
                                  
                            Houston
                            and their pets so I have not been
                            working on the site.  Fortunately
                            Rita was not as bad as she could have
                            been so They will be able to return
                            home today.  House still standing,
                            yip yip!  
                            
                            
                            So, I have some work to do in photo
                            shop to brighten up a couple of them
                            but I will be working on it this
                            week.

                            (highlander problem I have had for a
                            while now), spending the night in a
                            haunted castle, the Carbisdale Castle,
                            the Isle of Skye, Dunvegan Castle (the

                            I will update as I can. The internet

                            Scotland 
                            as in other places but the hotels may
                            have a computer guest can use.
                            Definitely 
                            Edinburgh 
                            has cafes.

                            location, staff is very friendly. Ran
                            into some guys from

                            talking to them. Then I went to a pub
                            and got a bit more hammered than
                            expected. I have to go up several
                            flights of a narrow staircase to get to
                            my room.  I am surprised I did not
                            roll back down them.  Oh well I
                            was celebrating.....

                            friends.  I have maxed out the

                            here on the home page.  Hope all
