That's wonderful, Pam. I've always to go to Ireland! Scotland is pretty amazing too.
I can't think of the last time I was drunk, or even tipsy, but if I had to guess, it would be well over 30 years ago. I enjoy a glass or two, sometimes even three (if I'm at home), of wine, or one or two mixed drinks, I have no desire to get drunk in the least.I.don't drink. I did in my late teens early 20's. It took some time for me to realise that ending parties with my head down the toilet wasn't fun and I stopped drinking.
GO! GO ! GO! GO! Planes are safer than cars and you drive every day!! Ask your doctor for some Xanax or simply have a few drinks and sleep during the flight. It will be OK and you'll have a great time
Worried? More like petrified! I want to go. I really want to go. Planes scare the heck out of me.
I'm with you. Kat. Look, Winchester, do SOMETHING, but GO. Here is the deal...yes, you're scared of planes. I don't get it, I could legally fly before I could legally drive, but I know a lot of folks that have the problem. OK, there are things I'm scared of, so I do sorta get it. But...Either you allow fear to hold you back from doing something that you long to do, or you face the fear. Here is what my Gran told me, and I try to live by it: When you are standing in the dark at the edge of the precipice (your fear), step boldly out, trusting and knowing that either a hand will be there to catch you, or you will spread your wings and learn to fly!"

Echoing AbbysMom - but a lot of tourist sites either close down totally or close down early in the winter months. In my view, May or June or Sept/Oct are the very best times to visit Scotland (I've not been to Ireland).Not only coldest, but darkest! I'm in Ireland and it's dark by 4pm in the winter ... Scotland's even worse.
Where in Scotland are those beautiful horses heads?Although English, I live in Scotland (Fife). So far we have not had a winter to speak of, the sun has been out and warm (shock!) Last week, we were even treated to a fine showing of the Aurora Borealis! That was amazing!
Nevertheless, I agree that June, July and August are the best time of year to visit Scotland. The weather will be at it's best (that isn't necessarily saying much!) and from September, if you are doing the tourist trails, you will be avoiding a tiny menace: the Scottish midgie which is intent on biting every human it can!
Scotland is a very very beautiful place: so much to see, from the mountains, the lochs etc to The Kelpies in Falkirk:
(please note the colour of the sky: this is termed *normal* in Scotland!)
If I can help with anyone's questions, I am very happy to do so.
Those are the Kelpies (the name of the statue) in Falkirk (the name of the town).Where in Scotland are those beautiful horses heads?
