Carlos and I will sail on the Crown Princess on Aug. 22. We are traveling with our friends, Vicky & Herb, from Heritage Shores. But first we need to get there. We fly out from Philadelphia on Aug. 19 to Heathrow. We plan 2 days pre-cruise in Edinburgh. Neither of us have been to Scotland. We are looking forward to these two days since we have tickets to the world-renowned Edinburgh Military Tattoo. And of course, a trip to Scotland would not be complete without an outing to the home of golf - St. Andrews!! No time to play there. But I do plan to walk the Swilken Bridge.
We sail from Southampton on Aug. 22. Our ports of call are: Guernsey, Cork, Dublin, Liverpool, Belfast, Glasgow, Inverness, Edinburgh and finally, Normandy on Sept. 2 - the reason for booking this cruise. This beautiful trip will end on Sept. 3 when we fly home directly from London.
I am following your trip with great interest. We may do it the next year or so. Hope you have found Vicky and Herb and are enjoying your trip. I was last in Edinburgh in June of 1999 for a conference and stayed at a very nice hotel (Bal- something). Don't tell Peggy but a McDonalds is close by.
