Off To The Land Of Kilts, Bagpipes & Haggis!

Tonight's the night! I board a plane at 10:00 p.m. and 8 hours later wake up in another country! I'm a jumble of excitement and anxiety! The beast (my ginormous suitcase) has been packed and surprisingly not to capacity! I still have six pounds of space to go! While my other check-in bag is suffering a very tight squeeze. I will write more when I actually land in Edinburgh bombarded with foreign currency, brogues, and cobblestone streets.

Take care & i'll miss you all. Thank you for making this transition into a new phase of my life that much easier, and showing me that you really do love me! I'll be back for Christmas! <3

Hey Alex,
Elizabeth and I are so happy that you are getting adjusted and doing some traveling. We know you are having a great time with your parents this week and will have fun in London. Now that we have your address we will be sure to chime in now and then.

Love
Elizabeth and Dennis
