Upcoming vacations anyone?
We go back home to Scotland in less than 2 weeks. Our next trip is a train trip down to London the end of March. We are going to see St Matthews Passion concert.

If I can get time off this summer ( highly doubtful ) every summer for one week the entire family get's together and rents a lake house up in northern Vermont. If I can't get the time off, at least I can go up for the weekend.

I haven't had a major trip since 2006, when I travelled to Minneapolis. I have no travel plans in the near future, but would be interested in exploring parts of Canada I haven't seen (like Northern New Brunswick, for example).

it is.... I hiked with Rookie there... the mountains.... just will take your breath away....the people were so friendly. It was once a very oppressed Soviet controlled country but now.... it is beginning to emerge.... I even did a little jig on the former Soviet military road near Dushanbe but no one except Rookie fortunately saw me acting like a loon.... but in my heart I felt like saying Nah Nah Nah!! as I faced towards Moscow.....

I have been in your lovely country a few times in various cities and twice in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.... but not in Northern New Brunswick....We went across to the border from Fort Kent Maine to Clair.... It was sort of fun to be stopped at the border, but flashing credentials made everyone happy... the guys there were bored out of their minds and so "Newbie" and I struck up a little conversation with them at BOTH stations... remote area to be sure.... the day we crossed the river, it was deeply foggy and no traffic at all

Gorgeous photos Rebecca.
My next trip after London is a trip by myself to Orkney islands. Then in Michigan to visit family. I've rented a lake house for a week to spend with my son and his daughters.

On your way do make a stop at the White House, I hear the play running there is a real knee slapper!!

Oh well, there are some in the UK and I hope to go to some of those.
