Saturday before we leave: Getting Ready

We are testing our packing skills today. We can only take enough luggage that can fit into the car. We are worried that the British Airways union has called for a strike the weekend we are to travel from Paris to Scotland. I will be praying that the strike will not happen! If it does, we will have to travel to Scotland by rail and if we are lucky enough to get tickets...they are very expensive!

Friday September 3

 Today we leave Scotland and go south to London. We will spend 2 days here and go home Sunday. We rented an apartment in Batersea Park. It is right on the river Thames.





We are going to spend Saturday seeing all the sights.
