THE FLIGHT IS BOOKED.
I am leaving August 20, arriving in Edinburgh August 21. I'm flying Continental Airlines, with a lengthy stopover in Newark. This is the time of year for afternoon thunderstorms, so I'm taking no chances with weather delays.
I have also booked accommodation for the nine nights I will be in Edinburgh before my trip to the highlands and islands leaves. The first 5 nights I'll be at Art Roch, which is where I stayed when I visited in January, and which is my favorite hostel in Edinburgh. It's in the Grassmarket, just south of the castle, and it's got lots of character - lots of stone walls and candles, and the rooms are quite homey and spacious for a hostel. The last 4 nights I'm booked at Caledonian Backpackers, which is at the western end of Princes Street. I've never been there before, so I don't know what it'll be like. Really, I'm hoping that I'll be able to land a flat in the first five days that I'm in Edinburgh, and I'll be able to just cancel that booking.
Let the official countdown begin!
