After a bit of a nutty experience at the Manchester airport, we made it safely to Edinburgh, Scotland. We have the cutest hotel (The Grassmarket Hotel) right in the center of everything. I have a very small room but it’s full of character and it has something I have never experienced before… A bed shaped […]

Day 9: Short Flight to Scotland
So long Manchester, hello Scotland! We left our hotel this morning and headed to Manchester Airport, which was fairly close to our hotel. For some reason, the coach that we took to the airport was the fanciest bus we have had the entire trip. It was a double-decker bus with lots of room for storage, […]
Day 9: …and I Would Walk the Royal Mile
What an interesting morning we had. The group spent the night literally ten minutes away from the airport, yet the bus that came to transport us there was the biggest and nicest of any of the others we rode on. We had two floors and enough space for everyone to have 2+ seats to themselves. […]
Day Nine: Doddling Around Edinburgh
For most of this trip, the coach buses we’ve had were exactly what you’d expect. Today, however, the coach bus that was ordered to take us to the airport definitely outshined the others. We arrived in style to the Manchester Airport in a huge, luxury coach bus. Unfortunately for us, our trip in the luxurious […]
Day Nine: The Laddie Wha Lived
When getting up this morning, I had to actually fully pack my suitcase for the first time since arriving in England. This is because this morning we packed up and boarded a flight to get us into Edinburgh, Scotland. The flight was easy and quick. We spent a total of 45 minutes between taxiing and […]
Day Eight: We sat on the famous red couch
With one final morning in Liverpool, our next destination was Manchester. The distance between Manchester and Liverpool was about 45 minutes by bus. Truthfully, we were all tired and so the bus ride felt like 5 minutes by the time we finally arrived. Our first stop was the University of Salford in which their media […]
Scotland Bound: Day 9
It’s Pronounced Edin “Bruh” not Edin “Burrow” Early Tuesday morning, we left on a bus and traveled to the airport where we would get on to a flight that was Scotland bound. After the short 45 minute flight, we arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland. After checking into our hotel in the Grassmarket, we left for a […]
Edinburgh: International Man of Mystery
Today we left Manchester and jetted off to Edinburgh, Scotland for the final days of our travels. I must say, the Manchester Airport is honestly a nightmare. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, but I felt like I was in a different dimension. The flight was short, and before I knew it we were in […]
Day 6: Shakespeare meets the U.S.
Waking up in Stratford was way different than in London, in the big city there are people moving pretty much all the time. In Stratford there was nothing moving at 7 am. I woke up early to run to the store and buy a jacket but nothing was opened till like 9. Before i went […]
“Childish”
Its Windsor Castle day and I am PUMPED. Not only because were getting to visit a beautiful British Castle but also the Queen just happens to be there. Not saying we got to see her but like we were in the same vicinity so basically royalty now. I wish that half of the pictures I […]
