Talon,
I just got out the smaller suitcase and am thinking simplicity. I am truly enjoying spending a bit of time virtually visiting spots before I arrive. Much nicer way to arrive. Thank you for comment and welcome here.

Robin,
I am just so excited and I believe I will be in touch with some of my inner history – I am anticipating some self healing and magic on this journey.

Dot,
I too have a list on my computer and I had not thought of it – thank you for the reminder – that will help.
I also have lists about taking care of the dogs, and watering pots….I think I will just let my husband figure it out himself while away…and my book group all say – DO not fill the cupboards with food for him…he will not eat it and it will all be there upon the return – I think they are correct.
Thank you for coming on by Dot – I am keeping you in my thoughts today.

Sounds like a fabulous trip! I'd love to go too. Some of my ancestors are from northern Ireland. Someone at work just returned from 3 weeks in Scotland and called it "wildly beautiful." As for packing, years ago I developed a packing list and saved it on my computer. It helps me not to forget essentials like medications when I'm in a rush to pack and leave.

Every time I travel I end up using 1/10 of what I've packed...and I think waiting until the day before is a good plan. Spend the run up time really anticipating how much fun you're going to have. I've never been to Scotland, but my husband has and he was blown away by how beautiful and full of history it was. I'm thinking you're going to have a well-deserved amazing time!

Relax,
Yes, money can solve many of these worries…for sure, but I am very tight with funds for this trip…My mother would say I should not go because of the economy
I think the time is just right for me…
Welcome to the blog and thank you for your good comments

Cricket-Tammy,
Tonight I am unpacking my suitcase! I have my camera, but an 11 pound voltage converter…do I really need that? still thinking yes…I am trying to take less and less with me. I am truly enjoying exploring some of the sites I will visit and that is changing my focus.

I want to enjoy the present and the excitement and every moment when away…savor the experience

Enjoy your trip.
I think you can just buy most of the things you need at your destination.
Money can solve this problem easily.

I know you are so excited about this trip! I'm looking forward to one of those grown up experiences one day. Not wishing my life to hurry...but I do often ponder a trip of total relaxation! I do travel a great deal with work. Sometimes on a plane twice a week. I usually don't worry about the details that much. I make my list. Grab my clothes...and never forget my camera. I'm sure a trip of a lifetime such as this would make me check my list over and over again! Cricket-Tammys last blog post..In Hiding...that's all

Kay,
One trip my kiddo went on we found a sale of undies for 10 pair for 10 dollars…we bought 2 sets and she just threw them away…I have also heard someplace has paper undies ….I think I have that area covered!!

That suggestion about leaving your dirty unders in far-away places…! I must think about that a bit.
