Today we left Manchester England for Edinburgh Scotland. We got up early and went straight to the airport that was essentially next door. For some reason we all struggled to get through this airport, Manchester Airport security sucks. We all got flagged down and had to get searched for the most minor of things. We […]

Day 11: We love Underground Vaults
It was our last day of the trip, other than travel, today. It was nice to be able to spend some time relaxing and exploring to wrap up the trip. I started the day by getting ready and heading back to the Elephant House, where J.K. Rowling wrote the start of Harry Potter. I had […]
Day 10: Play “Wonderwall” by Oasis
Alexa, play “Wonderwall” by Oasis. Everyone expected the weather in Edinburgh to be the exact same as London, chilly and rainy. We were blessed with the exact opposite for the second day in a row. We woke up to sunny skies and warm air on the day of our last media visits to the Fringe […]
Day 9: Alexa, play the bagpipes
Alexa, play the sound of bagpipes. Oh yes, we are in Scotland now. We left Manchester this morning on the land’s finest coach bus for a less than 15 minute drive to the airport, which really, we could have walked to if we didn’t have to go around to the other side for departures. We […]
View from the Top
The last day was our free day and I couldn’t have been more excited. As soon as I saw that you could walk to Arthur’s Seat I knew I was going to climb it before we left. We got a small group together and met in the hotel lobby shortly after breakfast and made our […]
The Media Visits to End All Media Visits
Our last day of media visits was by far my favorite one despite having a think mustache of mucus and a chapped nose. I started my day in a little french bakery directly around the corner from the hotel where I had the world’s best eclair and flirted with the french barista, you could say […]
Edin-Bruh!
I’ve been looking forward to going to Edinburgh for a very long time so I was irritated when I woke up and still felt like the Walking Dead. With the right amount of medication I thought I’d be able to enjoy the day, but not the flight. The flight was terrible on my sinuses and […]
I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it
We got an early start to the morning today with a walking tour of Stratford and some key places related to William Shakespeare. I love Stratford and would move here within a heartbeat. It is exactly what you picture a little stereotypical old English town to be. I’m not a huge Shakespeare person but obviously […]
Reflecting
After having almost a three hour delay coming home yesterday, I am shocked that I managed to wake up early. I guess my brain is still on London time no matter how little sleep I get. During the delay, the flight home and this morning my mind has drifted back to this lovely trip. I […]
Day 12: Bittersweet Journey Home
We started our last day on our trip quite early as we would be traveling all day. After having a nice breakfast at our hotel, everyone finished packing and headed onto our coach to take us to the airport in Edinburgh. Once at the airport, we checked in, went through security fairly quickly, and waited […]
