These entries are taken from a journal I planned on keeping throughout my stay in Edinburgh in 2000/2001. Unfortunately I didn’t keep to it as well as I should have, but the few entries I did get down on paper brought back memories.

Hunters Moon Inn, West Sussex, England

I have to admit I was shocked at the quality of Delta Business Class seating… personal TV’s and all the legroom anyone would want. My flight went well and the Hunters Moon Inn folks were nice enough to pick me up from Gatwick. After enjoying a cup of coffee and watching half of “Dawson’s Creek” on one of the 4 TV channels here, I made the mistake of falling asleep for 5 hours so I think my sleep patterns are going to be all screwed up. I’m at the pub/restaurant here at the B & B now and I’ve already been criticized for ordering a Caffrey’s - apparently the bartender thinks it’s “shite”.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow but if it’s not too expensive I’ll take a cab into downtown London and proceed to get lost. We’ll see. Amy and Luci get in on the 30th and it’s off to Edinburgh!

Tally-ho for now…
