Bye bye bye for a while!

I’ve been preparing for my vacation and am almost ready now. I’m pretty excited, because I’ve never been on a road trip like this before – Märrie and I will rent a car and tour Scotland for ten days! Exciting, exciting…

I’ve always wanted to see more of Scotland – and renting a car is cheaper and more flexible than taking the train or bus. My only problem is that I don’t have much driving experience, since we don’t own a car – but luckily Märrie is a good driver, so I’m sure we’ll manage.

We’ll also take a tent, but I’ve made it pretty clear that I won’t camp if it’s cold or wet. I’ve been to Edinburgh in July before, again with a tent, and the weather was simply awful. Wet and miserable, and me with a flu. Not doing that again, believe me… 🙂

Am going to post a farewell post when I get back from work (where I will hopefully manage to finish the rough draft of my paper) and meeting Sibylle tonight. My parents will be back then, too – they’ve been on vacation for a week. I’m glad they’re back in time to say goodbye to me!
