Trip schedule finally planned, and finishing touches being put to bookings. Quite the logistical exercise. Lucky my flight back to US was cancelled so I had a bit more time to work on it with the old man.

Loved the journal! Quite an enjoyable read - My mom and I went to Scotland for 19 days just as your vacation was ending. I wish she had kept a journal too as a counterpoint to mine. I think the 'seeing it from both sides' is great!

Thanks

My friends and I are taking a road trip across the country this summer, your journal was great. I am hoping that we have as much fun and excitement.
One thing I don't understand is, why would anyone think it was profane?
