Sacralicious

It’s been a busy week since I left Belfast, and leaving Belfast proved no small challenge. Last Monday Carol left for Prague for the New Year celebration. I too was supposed to depart, but because I had stayed up the entire night before scouring the Internet for flight deals to Bangkok and various other travel …

Random In Edinbur-ah!

Yesterday I boarded a train that took me to the costal town of Stranraer where I got on the biggest ferry I’ve ever seen and waved farewell to Scotland. I feel a bit like I’m on a city scouting trip, as each place I go I am trying to gauge if I could live there. …
