At this point, we are planning what we conservativly call our "Fantasy Trip." You have to start someplace, throw it all out there then pare it down to something manageable. It all started a few years ago with Dee's interest, then obsession, with geneology. The result, however, was some wonderful, fascinating history about our family. We learned that while we are in fact, mostly mutts, there is a little bit of purity in our paternal history - that being Scottish. What's really fun is that she also found not only the part of Scotland our family was from, but the island and eventually probably the cottage we are from. How cool is that?
So we know we will be going to the Isle of Bute off the west coast of Scotland and spending time. We want to go pub crawling in Edinburgh (although I don't drink whiskey or beer so I think I'm sunk). Our basic plan for the whole trip is to stay in hostels, eat cheap which may not be a problem in Scotland since who's ever heard of going out for Scottish? After Scotland for a couple weeks, we plan to head to Italy. That's Dee's baby so she can talk about that. We will make a quick stop in Vienna, Austria because since the age of about 9, I've dreamed of going there to see the Spanish Riding School (Lipizzaners) and Dee is kindly indulging me. Of course in return I will be indulging her with Nomadi or Zucchero (more about them later).
