Quick..someone teach me how to speak with a Scottish accent. Edinburgh here we come! Ugh, I have never been so excited to be somewhere. Don’t get me wrong England was beautiful, but I have been looking forward to Scotland for months now. The bus ride from the airport to the hotel it was pretty clear, […]

So sad to be leaving Liverpool, but onto Manchester we go! If I could stay here in this hotel room for the next five months, no question about it I would. I simply can’t get over the view or even the feel of this place. I think I might just belong here? The bus picked […]
Happy Mums Day
It’s Mother’s Day and I’m sadly not with my mom. As much as I wish she could be here in Liverpool with me, I know she’s happy just seeing me enjoying my time here. Today is the Beatles Tour that a lot of us have been looking forward too. We spent the morning getting to […]
Day 12: Alexa, play “Reborn”
Alexa, play “Reborn” by Kid Cudi. A dreaded day full of flying has finally come and we’re on our way back to Pittsburgh. Insert sobbing emoji here. I certainly plan on sleeping for part of the longer flight (rereading this days later, I actually only slept for a half hour so jokes on me), so […]
Day 11: Alexa, play “Rather Be”
Alexa, play “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit. I cannot express how excited I was that our free day was in Scotland. I never knew how much I wanted to go to Edinburgh until we were there and every sight was more breathtaking than the last. A few members of the group went hiking to Arthur’s […]
Day 9: Ayy Secuurittyyyy.
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 […]

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 […]
