And we're off.....

Today we leave the idyllic, winter weather here in the Caribbean (this is apparently why folks vacation here this time of year) to travel to the Wallops of England to visit our good friends, Robin and Faye, and then go with them up to Balateer Scotland. We have been led to believe that it will be colder there but we realize that there is no way we can even begin to imagine how much.
Sadly we are also informed that the Queen will not be in residence at nearby Balmoral Castle during our sojourn in the area. Pity.
Nevertheless, we are very much looking forward to the trip especially since, for the first time in memory, we are not in charge of the details. No file folder crammed with confirmations of cars rentals and hotel rooms and everything else one needs to navigate in a foreign country. In fact, we do not have in our possession a single guide book. All of the pressure is squarely on Robin and Faye. Simply Brilliant!
This will be a completely different kind of adventure.
