Leaving....on a jet plane

So....Gin, Annette, Jeff and I began our trip to SCOTLAND by hanging out at an IRISH pub in the airport.....

Our flight on Thursday night was great....on time, smooth flying....but hotter than heck sitting on the plane waiting to leave.  I was VERY glad to get into the air so the plane could finally cool down.  Flew to Amsterdam without any issues and landed around 1:30PM.  Layover was about 2 hours....grabbed a quick bite and a coffee - the three others drank beer - at a cafe.  We COULD have sat in Murphy's....another Irish pub, but thought it best to NOT do so.  Flight to Edinburgh was an hour plus....landed at 3:30PM.  Over cast and raining a bit, but nice to be on the ground.
It was a quick trip to the Dickson's home....Alan and Jette, where we were shown our room for the next few days/weeks.  A BEAUTIFUL home (I'll post photos later)....sat out in the conservatory and had a few pints of Belhaven's Best, then we were off to dinner at the club - the Wild Burgess of Edinburgh Golfing Society.  Jeff and I walked, while the others drove up there.  We ate in the bar and I had a Bacon and Black Pudding Pannin with chips.  VERY tasty....oh, and another pint of Belhaven's Best.  :)
After our walk home, we had a sat and planned our next two days, but didn't really come up with a plan.  That could have been due to the cocktails we had back at home!  We'll see what tomorrow brings after a good night's sleep....
