Only 14 days to go

8/19/2012

 
In 14 days, I will be on a plane to Scotland.  

In my last post, I wrote why I am going and tomorrow, Mike goes into Aberdeen where he will check-in, settle into his room and get his first radiation treatment.

Elisabeth and I had our regular Sunday morning chat were we discussed recipes of mine and my mothers, that she does not have, I then scanned them all and sent over electronically. I will be doing a bit of cooking and restocking of her freezer. Elisa also told me that if all goes well, Mike will be able to pick me up at the Aberdeen airport known a Dyce ( airport code: ABZ). We will then go back to his room and I can crash out having been on the "road" for over 24 hours. That night we will have a nice visit and dinner.  The next morning he won't have a treatment so he and I will get in the car and drive to the house together.   Mike will return to Aberdeen the next day.   This means that I will have to save my experience of travel via mass transit for my return trip. 

Over the past month I have also had a growing pile of items I will be taking over: Her new camera and iPod have arrived as it is cheaper for her to buy it "here" in the USA and have me carry it over; Then there is the pile of OTC medications; Japanese food stuffs; and a few other goodies I have added along the way. So after our call, I did a test "pack" to make sure it all fit in the suitcase that will be my checked bag. There is just a little bit of room left over for some clothing. I will have another small bag with my clothing that I will carry on the plane - I won't need much since we are going to home the majority of the time I will be there.

Next weekend, I will do my actual packing. So I have another week to get anything I need. 

I will be posting pictures of my adventure and of course the Clan
