When my lovely niece Amanda moved to Scotland I bought my ticket to visit her at Christmas. It wouldn’t be right to let her experience Christmas without any family in a foreign land, right? So I bought my ticket and began planning my itinerary. I’m really selfless that way. Sadly, she had student loans to pay and employment in Scotland was not working out for her. She came home but decided to return with me since I already had my ticket and her boyfriend Kyle was still there studying sound engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

Tomorrow the adventure begins…
