Flight from Philadelphia to Las Vegas: Cancelled. Had to stay in a crummy hotel with an airline voucher for 10 bucks each for dinner and 5 bucks each for breakfast. Didn’t pack extra clothes, so we had to wash underwear in the second sink. Philadelphia looks and smells like an armpit, by the [...]
On Day 12 we went to Dover Castle That’s all we really did because it’s 2 hours there and 2 hours back, plus it’s a huge castle with a lot to see. In addition to the many battles they fought there in the 11th and 12th centuries, they also used it during the [...]
Apparently Deb’s little camera did not have the anti-shake thing turned on when the flash is off and that’s why a lot of the photos that I took without flash are a little blurry and some are just totally crap. The photos that I took with the handicam are good, but that thing is [...]
No need for explanation. Already did that last post. Go see em in the Gallery!
Photos from Day 6, 7 and 9 are up in the gallery! Day 8 is still uploading (out of order for some reason). Days 7 through 10 are us in Scotland.
Day 7 we went to the Glenfiddich distillery for a tour and a tasting. I now own something awesome I got from [...]

Saw the Hellfire Caves on Day 5. Creepy. Also saw Grey’s Court, which was a lovely garden and 17th or 18th century homestead.
We did Stratford-upon-Avon on day 6, the birthplace and hometown of William Shakespeare. Quaint little town, tourist oriented. Had lunch in the town’s oldest pub. Can’t get enough [...]
Finally! Pictures from day 4!
We went punting down the river. I punted, everyone else sat there and enjoyed the view. I am really tired. But I will persevere to do pub crawling tonight. Even though I already had 3 ciders. Woo hoo! My legs are killing me. This walking shit is for [...]
We started the day with eggs and a bagel and went off to Stonehenge in Wiltshire. I think we got there just in time to beat the really bad tourist rush on the highway. I listened to the audio tour but started to fade out as it droned on. I saw many rocks. And sheep. [...]
