Here We Go...

Here it is, the day of departure. Today I embark on a trip to one my my favorite countries in the world, Scotland. The trip will be grueling--2 hour bus ride, followed by a 6 1/2 plane ride across the Atlantic and a loss of five hours thanks to the beauty of Greenwich Mean Time. However, once the dust has cleared I'll be in little Bridge of Allan.

I know this isn't my most poignant writing to date, I couldn't sleep well last night and the coffee hasn't really set it yet. However, I felt it worth the embarrassment to write this little piece before I left.

I will do my very best to keep this updated over the next five weeks, to let ya'll know what I'm doing. Most of my activities will inevitably be linked to castles, soccer, and beer but seeing as those are three things people don't experience too regularly I figure it's still worth mentioning.

So here we go, let's hope that jet lag doesn't hit me too hard. I'll write more when the chance presents its self. And, as they say in those parts, If it's nay Scottish, it's crap!
