Arrival: From Minnesota to Edinburgh
We were glad we arrived a day early in Edinburgh. It was a nice way to gradually transition from Minnesota to Scotland. We knew from our past travels to Europe that a day to shake off jet lag was well worth it. Pam and I are both walkers, so we took advantage of the early arrival to stretch our legs and get introduced to the city. It also gave us an introduction into Scotland at our own pace. There were impressive sights within walking distance of our hotel, and the exercise felt refreshing. We've always loved how Rick places his hotels in the center of things, so we made sure to book our extra night at the same location. We were happy we did!
