Travelodge Livingston

Fun trip to Murrayfield for Scotland v Fiji.....lots of happy Scottish faces after the win, boys in fancydress, stag parties galore, chuc-chucs ferrying folks home in the rain, great cocktails in an Italian Jazz bar and running to catch last train back home on a busy busy Saturday night train heading South.

The next destination on our trip was to Scotland. Now, this is a place I have had on my list to see for a long time. The chance to finally experience it and see it in its full glory was awesome! We landed pretty much on top of water and were able to see the water the entire train ride into Glasgow. <br><br>When we arrived at the train station in Glasgow, the group got separated and we decided to wait for them and get a coffee ...

... and landing, along with any turbulence, still freaks me out. I can't handle sitting by the window either. Over the years I've developed a routine that helps me cope and it begins as the plane taxis to the beginning of the runway. Sitting there waiting for the off I close my eyes and go to a happy place in my mind in an attempt to block out the fact that I'm on a plane. I don't know if I'd ever told Heather this routine of mine because ...

... internet. He was up around 6.45am for that. I stayed in bed and slept. We also gave our friends a call afterwards as we would usually be hanging out with them on the day. It was fun to chat with them and even funnier as they'd had a few drinks : ) . They took some photos for us so we wouldn't feel left out. We're looking forward to seeing them. Here it's all about union rugby.........so boring............... I learnt something the other day.. I know, pretty ...

Counting days (2 months, 8 days left for leaving Europe and only 1 month 8 days for leaving UK)... Rucksacks have been bought and test-packed, on the first day of July sales! Today Cecilia and Mette got the good news of getting our jobs when we leave, congratulations to both :-) Had drinks in Shakespeare's with Nordic team. That makes it more REAL that we are actually leaving soon. Scary... Weekend in Dublin ...

Hello once again and apologies for my tardiness in getting this entry posted. It's surprising to think that I've been based in Edinburgh for only six weeks - it seems a lot longer because it's been one whirlwind of activity around a lot of solid hard work in my new job (that, for once, has been the main focus of my ...

... hence hostel residents get cheap drinks there all day everyday, and then for those not ready to go to be or alternatively for those who like to get an early start there is the infamous Penny Black. The Penny Black is a wonderful pub that only opens between 6am and midday and guarantees some interesting characters, I myself have only made it there once so far but I've still got a few weeks left here. If you're ...

... camp to run and a Brownie holiday to survive before I can go and that's all in the next 5 weeks. I'm due to finish up at work on 30th May, which is less than 5 weeks now. I'm moving out of my flat on 2nd June and I'm planning to spend that week visiting family and friends before I leave on 9th June. I just know the next 6 weeks are just going to fly in.
