... of, you guessed it, snow(it wasn't even snow, just flurries), delayed us a bit. I didn't mind it a bit though because I had a lot of fun on the train ride anyways. By the time we arrived in Edinburgh (nicknamed Auld Reekie, which translates to Old Smokey)  and were checked into our hotel(that had plaid, excuse me tartan carpeting and a painting of Braveheart) it was around 11:30pm. We stayed out until about 1:30 exploring the town and then went to bed. (Friday) 13 ...

My only complaint is SPECIAL TEAMS!!!! I mean come on. Set it up get some shots, score a goal already. Carolina has a damn good penalty kill though. It's going to be a great Game 6...and 7!! Unfortunately I had to work an hour and a half later. Ha! It's alright I did that after Game 2 as well. Now Game ...

So much for my doctor knowing what she's talking about. I've not been feeling very well this week. Sore head, runny nose, sore throat. I'm just hoping that I'll get it all out of my system before leaving on Monday. Anyway a couple of people were asking what my itinerary was, so here ...
