I just bought my ticket to the UK for mid-August. I couldn’t decide which city to go to so I’ll be splitting my time by visiting both Glasgow and Edinburgh. If I like those two cities I may try to see more of Scotland in the future. I think those two will be fun to visit for now.
I’m still hotel-hunting. Prices are high due to the summer month (peak season) and the Fringe. I’m going to try to catch some of the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. Hotels in the city are at around 75% occupancy.
Most of my friends are going to be in the South of France and Spain. I was tempted to join them but ultimately thought it was time to do something different and new. I’d like to visit the Baltic states in the near future. It’s time for me to wander off the beaten path and find a new path to travel on.
At the moment I’m pleased with my decision to go to Scotland. To prepare, I’ve put together a list of a few Scottish highlander romances to read 😉
