6. We'll be coming in on the Queen Elizabeth

Then we're renting a car and driving around Northern Scotland for nearly a month - probably even taking a ferry to the Orkneys. At the beginning of September we'll head into Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, then to Bury St. Edmunds to start a ten day needlework tour that ends in London (at Heathrow for those flying back to the States).

We'll spend a few days in London, then off to Wales to visit where my great grandfather came from. Then we end in Southwestern England, driving out to Land's End and back to the Isle of Wight before we get on a Royal Caribbean ship that is relocating to the Caribbean for the winter.

We may have to go to the Glasgow Airport to rent a car - I have not booked one yet. We'll turn in the car for the duration of the tour and the time in London, then rent another one for the last month.

So far we don't have an exact itinerary. Pretty much we have listed places we want to go and have left extra days for laundry, goofing off, and just spending more time where we want.

We're used to iffy weather - we both grew up in Florida - but it will be cooler in Scotland than we get here in the summer.
