Back in Scotland

Travel Packs
We are back in Scotland in Edinburgh.

But first, the backstory. After spending the entire summer here in 2022, and having the time of our lives, we developed a plan that would allow us to spend considerably more time here.

That plan involved selling our Roanoke house and downsizing into something that would facilitate taking long trips; we moved one mile into a HOA community where we could rely on others to take care of our yard. We then took occupancy of a flat in Edinburgh. It is in the Stockbridge neighborhood where we have stayed during all previous Edinburgh trips; terrific location. Now, it is relatively easy for us to come and go as often as we like for as long as we like. Sweet.

And since the flat is fully furnished, we can make the trip with not much more than travel packs on our backs (in the photo we are standing in front of Saint Stephen's Church wearing travel packs - our flat is next to the church).
