Homeward Bound

This afternoon, we're catching a ferry to Mallaig

so we can catch a train to Glasgow, followed

by a bus to the airport where we'll be staying

at the very chic Holiday Inn Express in order

to catch our flight back to Newark tomorrow.

It's quite a journey home and I'm sad to see

our time in Scotland come to an end but I'm

really excited to get back to Headquarters 

and comfort Pinkerton, who, despite enjoying 

quality time with her Uncle Erik, has been 

snubbing her nose at her bedtime snacks, 

no doubt because she misses me so much 

that she's lost her appetite.  

I miss her desperately but I've still managed 

to enjoy more than my share of haggis and 

sticky toffee pudding, although I do

 think that I've lost some weight on this 

trip (which I'll attribute to the hiking and 

walking we've been doing on a daily basis).

I'll miss the cool sea air and wearing my 

Boston sweatshirt and wellies on a daily basis

(ok, so it hasn't rained much at all but they look

so cute on me that I've been fashionably sporting them).

I'm not looking forward to cranking up the AC and 

am actually dreading the electric bill but it will be

nice to walk through Stevens Campus in the morning

sun and perhaps enjoy a midgie free outdoor lunch.

Cross fingers that we have great seats on the flight,

no airport delays, that our luggage arrives with us, 

and that Bebe enjoys the next 36 hours of traveling!
