    Day 54 - Scotland, N. Ireland, Ireland

    Tomorrow morning I'm leaving for another trip. I will head up to Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow. From there I plan to go to Glasgow and then down to Stranraer where I will catch a ferry to Belfast, Northern Ireland. I've been hearing a lot about Belfast in the news lately because of all the violence/riots there -- which is part of why I'm so interested in going there. I think I'll be safe though.

    From Belfast I plan to take the train down to Dublin, Ireland. I booked a flight for Wednesday morning from Dublin to Bournemouth, which is a relatively short train ride from Reading. I plan to be home early in the afternoon on Wednesday. That should give me enough time to prepare for the big move on Thursday.

    I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures! And if anyone needs to reach me, my mobile phone should work, at least while I'm in the UK.

    You better take pictures.

    Oh, if you go thru a place near Belfast called Antrim, that's where my 4th great grandpa came from.

    And if you go thru Carrickfergus, take pictures of the castle there. It's in the same area and I love the song that Charlotte Church sings about it.

    lol, I won't be calling you! You'll have to be back in the states.

    Have fun! :o)
