Scotland!

Well, we're off to Scotland. Derek and I leave today for 10 days of fun (but not sun!). We're off to the home of golf. Scotland is where the game of golf originated about 500 years ago, and our goal for this trip is to experience a little bit of what golf was like in the beginning. To that end, we aren't playing all of the "name" courses, but we are trying to see a lot of the country and travel to some courses that are off the beaten path a little bit. Our first stop is going to be on Isle of Arran. We will ferry across from Ardrossan and stay at the Blackwaterfoot Lodge . If we aren't too pooped from traveling, we will play a round of golf at the 12 hole Shishkine Golf Club . Sunday we will ferry across to Kintyre and play at Machrihanish Dunes (picture above).


Hopefully we will have internet access everywhere and I will be able to keep this up to date as we travel.
