The jet to Glasgow is older. No computer power ports available. Seems to me that the airline would have something like this for the longer segments of travel. For the most part we all tried to follow Shannon’s example and sleep. We’ll arrive into Glasgow about midnight California time. Our plan is to quickly grab our mini van, drive to Edinburgh. Check into the Travelodge there. | |

We leave the airport complex head for the motorway heading towards Edinburgh. The drive from Glasgow takes about 45 minutes to an hour. As we approach Edinburgh we realize that the Mapquest.com directions are a bit lacking. We turn off the highway following “I” signs the universal sign for visitor information. We arrive where the “I” directs. Nothing, a fairground with staff here and there maintaining the place yet no “I”. | |

We stop by what looks to be security to find out where the “I” is as well where is the restroom? He says oh they moved the “Information Centre sometime back move it so far from here, I have no idea where too. Oh great! I ask of the restroom and direct John to get directions to the Edinburgh Travelodge. My business taken care of. I go out to meet the security mans 2 dogs. They are brown and white Springer Spaniels darling!! One wants to play fetch with anything I can find to throw the other seems to watch the fun, and to interact with his furry friend. They were a great way to shake off some of the cobwebs from our lengthy flight, and long traveling day. |
