It appears that it's actually going to happen.

I'm driving to Boston on Thursday, meeting my son and daughter at Logan and flying over on Icelandic (Our slogan: "Nobody's mad at Iceland!"), arriving at Heathrow (spelling?) Friday, late morning. flying back the following Thursday (the 11th) leaving early afternoon.

Once we get there, our schedule is pretty loosey-goosey. Have a rental car; hoping to work our way north as far as a little of Scotland, and back, checking out tourist attractions, old castles and the like, and interesting pubs (particularly those with folk music of some sort) as we go. We don't have much of any reservations for places to sleep and such. We figure, between being outside the normal tourist season and with the fall-off in tourism due to recent events, we'll be able to find lodgings.

Would love to hear suggestions as to what to do, where to go (but be gentle), etc. I'll be checking mail and the 'Cat last probable early Thursday morning, US.

Picked up some 20-pound notes today, for use in places that sell Beer but don't take credit cards. Kinda purty.

Peter.
