Good Directions
... 't go inside the hedge maze (strange that you'd grow and maintain a hedge maze that no one is allowed to go into). Walking back through the old forest was fun but as it was getting late we figured we'd better move on and head for the hostel in ...
Last Entry? ..... Maybe
Well, we're back in Aberdeen and yes, we're having to come to terms with the fact that this mammoth trip is finally at an end. We have so many memories and hundreds of photos to keep us going until our next big adventure. In the meantime, keep an eye out ...
It's time to leave....!
Well who would have believed it, after months of careful planning, preparation and packing it really did come down to tipping drawer-fulls of stuff into bags and pillowcases, loading the flat up into a rental van, holding back the boxes whilst closing ...
Back in Aberdeen
Well we're back in Aberdeen with only the last leg of our around the world trip left before we come back to Aberdeen again. Yes, we're back to Asia in just a few weeks and of course we'll keep you posted on how it goes. Bye for now, K & S P.S We've ...
Still Here....Just
... Kev settled into the old job routine quickly having no problems getting a job again in just a few days of arriving back in Aberdeen. Sian's still looking for something she'd like to do rather than has to do albeit not looking that hard! There's a ...
A short break into Scotland
... seems to be a prosperous town with theatres, restaurants and cafes, and well-kept public buildings. We headed on north to Aberdeen, Scotland's third-largest city. We found a fish café/restaurant at the northern seaside, and had lunch of North Sea ...
Grey Granite Aberdeen
We were amused on our BA flight to Aberdeen we were served a small snack of good old British fare of a 12g packet of Korma flavoured crisps and a drink. As we'd been told, The Granite City is grey, grey, grey and it isn’t helped by the cloud ...
The Sweet Old Lady and the Laughing Fit
Day 1 of bus trip...a success? Started the morning off right by finding my missing earring (graduation present...didn't want to tell you Mom & Gary in case I had a cubic zirconia replacement situation on my hands..). Apparently I was irritated ...
Captain's Log - first entry.

Off to Scotland for the weekend - I was greeted at the airport by my friend Nicholas (I am starting to love this being greeted at the airport stuff!!) and his partner, Andrew. We drove 1.5 hours out to the countryside - rolling hills - greenery ...
Home and Away...
I know, I know - shocking title for a travelpod entry, especially one relating to Australia - blame the alcohol, blame it on the mooonlight, blame it on the good times - ach, just blame it on the boogie! Ok, sobering up time. I've put this wee bit of ...

The East Coast
... to note that I seem to enjoy relics in ruin rather than those that have been restored. We left St. Andrews and made our way to Aberdeen where our next B&B was waiting for us. I got in a nice nap on the way (much needed!). It meant missing some great ...
Flying Visit up the Coast
Another cross-country work experience/excuse to drive around Scotland and take photos. I drove inland from Stirling on the way up (unremarkable, not recommended) and so needed something a little more interesting on the way back - the coastal road past ...

... – to find the bus… We walked, and we walked and we walked – and soon we realized that we were lost in Aberdeen. Not that I minded, it was nice to walk around but it took us a while… and we asked for directions from a gas station. ...

Progress Update
Yesterday I order 2 tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on 14 September. Apparently it is worth a visit - the fireworks in the evening are slightly different (Hallowishes). Bought these by calling Disneyworld direct. One point of concern ...
Scotland trip

Aberdeen/Banchory
Today was our second vocational day. I spent the day visiting Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon University. Talk about a contrast in architecture. Aberdeen is over 600 years old, while RGU is less than 20. The individuals I met ...
Discovering Scotland
... discovered Scotland. Isn't that the same for most people and their home country? So that was it, we'd just have to make up for being in one place (Aberdeen) by touring Scotland instead. We're quite excited about it, we'll let you know what we ...
greetings from Kincorth
Hi, Saturday morning on the 22nd and we're sitting in Marie's computer room - toys everywhere and Hector rummaging aboot and generally being a pest. 1 week to go and still heaps to do - just away to get cracking on booking overland tours for Australia ...
A sad journey home...
Whilst we were in Broome, Western Australia, my parents had to phone me with the terrible news that my sister Wendy had had a heart attack while on holiday in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca and passed away. The doctors did their best to recuscitate her but by ...
