Rounding up with some observations

"I put my genius into the way I live my life and what is left over into my work" Oscar Wilde

Edinburgh is a great walking city
Most of it's major sites are in a concentrated area
Edinburgh where the pubs open at 10 am and the stores close at 5 pm
People in Scotland are warm and friendly and willing to help
I find the showering systems whenever I travel a challenge
I dislike this rainfall shower system that came from the ceiling, with no nozzle to turn away so water is not too hot
You need to turn on a switch in order to get the outlets to provide power
I LOVED the heated towel racks and will look to put them in my bathroom at home.
Nothing like starting the day with a good shower and shave
Driving on the left and getting in on the right takes A "little" getting use to
I LOVE MY IPAD for traveling. I am by no means an Apple fanatic but I think i am becoming one
I need make sure I am on the side of the bed with the closest outlets for all the gadgets
I miss Sarah and my Pearl
It is great to travel with music
My gadget coat is FANTASTIC. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, simply, the best coat on the planet
I did not need to pack an extra pair of shoes better to have lighter bag
My non-wheeled bag is LIGHT and GREAT. It will be my main bag for traveling
You can maneuver the bag easier, squeeze it into tight overhead compartments or under the seat
Itunes is wonderful as when Bill is asleep early or I am not asleep ever I can watch movies and TV shows
I like taking care of people, seeing him/her happy
I love when another allows me to design and create a masterpiece of a travel experience
I am VERY good at it
I love to drive but it is stressful under the best of foreign travel
Bill does not hear well and if something is important you need to make sure he's got it
The Haggis I had was a great eating experience
I like the fact that I will try strange things and am willing to step out of my comfort zone
The egg yolks do not seem to have the same amount of running yolk as thie states
I wish I could sleep for a long length of time, just once without being sick, for like 10-12 hours
The more motivated my travel partner is to see and do everything the more I am able to push myself to do more
I LOVE to travel
I have appreciate more than people know their comments about the blog. It has kept me going and challenged my creativity
Bill can go long stretches without eating
I wish I was that way
Bill is very healthy
I hope I am able to live as long and have his energy
Bill tried kippers today and liked it
I need to get Bill to be more Italian and care about his hair
When did I get so much grey in my hair
Bill is a hell of a travel partner
I need to unpack everything when I get to a room
Bill lives out of his suitcase never unpacking
Bill is a neat, organizer and good packer
I love to take photos
I still hate the way I look in them
The Stone Circles experience was better than I expected
Traveling is learning about yourself as much as it is learning about where you are going
I love maps and could care less for GPS and this is from a gadget guy
I am very good at finding my way
I never feel lost just not where I want to be
I really enjoyed the blogging and thank all for the support to continue
I need to learn to use Skype better
Calling when traveling is not always easy and sometimes downright annoying
I love to travel in first class
I wish that I were more of a budget traveler
I think budget but travel well, maybe there is some strange balance at work
I love finding just the right place to stay
It is great to have an appreciative travel partner
Scotland is a fantastic country where in this month it rained a lot but never hard or long
I have the need for more coffee here with being tired and all, especially double expressos when driving
I still don't like malt Whiskey
I love a glass of wine at the end of the night, especially when I am blogging
It is nice to see Bill has so many people who care about him
I miss my mom, my aunt, dad and Fran, my Harley/Daytop buddy and best friend Mikey I thought about you all with Bill
I am looking forward to a life of more traveling
I would enjoy taking another trip with Bill, but except for Avebury outside of London, I am out of the Stone Circles business.
I love walking around ruined castles better than visiting the inside of great castles
It never/rarely gets old for me visiting Cathedrals and castles
I like my camera, you can turn the screen around and take self portraits and it is RED which stands out when packing
Gas is really expensive here
I wish I could sleep like Bill
It is both fulfilling and challenging to have someone to take care of
After a while, even I get tired of castles and ruins and need civilization like London where stores stay open late, cafe sitting is an art form and there is Theatre
It is getting to the point where it is annoying when a hotel does not have Wi-Fi in the room
I find that the biggest cost in my traveling is where I stay, eating anywhere is fine by me. Transportation cost are what they are and can not be budgeted less. The same with sightseeing.
It is nice that more places seem to make museums free
So if I want to budget more I need to stay in less expensive, more reasonable, cheaper places. You pick the adjective that makes you feel best
I brought my military time watch and Scotland uses time as we do in the States, on a 12 hour schedule. Who knew
I love talking to people when I travel. I guess I am more social than I thought.
I love to drive and have driven through Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands and now the United Kingdom. However, unless it is for a few days only, I do not wish to take long driving trips in a foreign country any longer. I prefer train travel from place to place, less stress on me and my aging body. The long stretches of driving make me exhausted.
Scotland still has the honor system where you pump your gas first than pay, that was nice to see
And when you check into a hotel, they are not so concerned about getting your credit card information beforehand
The weather is something I will remember, it could be raining hard for 5 minutes than 5 minutes later it is sunny
It is not always easy to get twin bed rooms. There are always plenty of doubles, even some singles, so a few times we had to over pay and get a family room. That makes traveling on the fly even more challenging
There are so many fewer gas stations on the road in Scotland
I do not think there is a straight road in all of Scotland
I tried Porridge and liked it but it seems similar to oatmeal
Glasgow is an unattractive city with a wonderful Tiki Bar
I was surprised that Scottish food was so good
And that the country had such a variety of lakes, mountains, costars road, good food, and scenic drives
Traveling with another guy is different for me that with a woman. With another guy, if the room or the hotel is not up to par, it is not as important and feel it doesn't matter, we will deal with it. When I travel with a female, I take on more of the concerns and responsibilities of her being happy, content and ok with hotel/travel choices. This could just be me and not the reality of the women with which I travel. I would love other women who read this to give me some of their thoughts.
