Is it July yet??

Finally, after five years of planning and talking and dreaming, Josh's and my extravaganza trip to the U.K. is taking shape. I've been dying to go back for a visit...I spent my senior year of college in London and, while it wasn't always the best time, in retrospect, I really did enjoy myself. And I miss it horribly, so much so that I have incredibly vivid dreams about it every so often. Anyway, we had to wait until 2009 to head over because we knew that my ancestral family, the Clan Cameron, would be holding a Gathering (a kind of family reunion where the only thing you have in common with the other attendees is your last name) during the summer of that year, so we figured it only made sense to schedule our trip around that. The plan is to spend the first four or five days exploring London, showing Josh all the sights and taking him to Kingston-upon-Thames (where my school is), before flying up to Scotland for a week or two. I made our hotel reservations in London a few weeks ago and we're staying at the beautiful Draycott Hotel. Here are some pics so you can see just why I'm so psyched!

Now this is what London is all about


The gardens


Gorgeous!

I'm going to firm up our plans for Scotland sometime in the near future. We'll be staying in the most darling B&B in the Highlands, the Grange. I can't freaking wait!
