If you sneek up slowly they never see you comming.

So, you stumbled onto this page eh? Well hold your horses, I’m not back from my trip yet. Before Scotland we started off in Ireland then went off to Northern Ireland then to Scotland and finally down to London. We wrap up October 7th by landing back home in San Francisco.

Who are “we” you ask? Well put it this way: My pal Cleary and I. She is a Champaign-drink’en-shopping-facial type chick, and I’m more of a find a pub and sticks to it type, with an emphasis on quality and not going below 3 stars anything.

Trying to wake up in our own bed should be easy.

The Scott Monument in Edinburgh.

Oct 1 Wednesday: Wake up hopefully in our hotel room in Belfast. Fart around until our flight from Belfast to Edinburgh leaves at 6:30pm. We arrive into Edinburgh at 7:30pm and take a cab to our hotel. Jump up and down on the beds and make a blanket fort.

Oct 2 Thursday: We take an all day tour.

Scary Birthday to me....

This is the lair of the Mackenzie Poltergeist

Oct 3 Friday: My 33rd birthday, where in the dark of night we take a guided walking tour of the most famous haunted graveyard. Its has only been open to the public for 2 years and there have been over 600 documented encounters and has been featured on The Discovery Channel!

Fredrick House Hotel as darling as can... Hotels (1)

The location rocks on this place. It’s in New Town right in the center of upscale shopping and swanky swank. The hotel... more travel advice

I think celebrating your birthday in a graveyard tops me celebrating mine in a cave, but sounds like you did have fun, maybe should try it next year !!
