Taking to the High Road

Our first thought was to go see the Eagles play Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday.  But then we found out that Monday October 29 is a bank holiday in Ireland.  That means businesses are closed and schools are also closed for the week for fall holiday. Therefore, many people in Ireland take a holiday (aka vacation) that week. So we decided to set our sights on a longer adventure and set sail for Scotland.

Turns out you can board a ferry from just north of Belfast and also bring your car for the two-hour journey east across the Irish Sea to Scotland.  From there it’s a three-hour ride to Edinburgh.  Our launching point for our 7 day adventure exploring Scotland.  Our overnights will be in Edinburgh (2 nights), Aviemore (1 night), Isle of Skye (2 nights) and Oban (2 nights).  I am told Oban whiskey is the popular drink there.  So I guess we will be leaving our Guinness beer behind!
