Aberdeen - Edinburgh - Southampton
We hired a car from Aberdeen airport and left Aberdeen for the last time for a while. Dad took a couple of pictures - which may appear here if I get a copy...
Anyway, we headed down to Edinburgh and dropped the last of our stuff at the storage place before dropping the car in at Edinburgh airport.
The next morning we got ourselves up at 7:15 (eek) and got the train to Southampton. I ended up feeling quite travel sick which frankly doesn't bode well for the 3 day train trip to Seattle, but I'll try to get some powerful sedatives or something.
So now here we are in Southampton. We were woken at midnight last night by a powerful explosion - or at least it sounded like one, but turned out to be thunder & lighning. The ensuing heavy rain still hasn't stopped, so if it continues we'll have to get the boat to come and pick us up from our hotel.
Looking forward to tomorrow. Now heading back to the hotel for a wee sleepie.

Mr Noden Senior did take some pictures of Iff and Trace leaving aberdeen but they wont be appearing on this site...or any other site for that matter. Mary deleted them (by mistake) from the people's champion's camera. Doh!

Bah humbug! Hello guys, ace site! I will be bookmarking it, and adding my words of wit and wisdom now and then.
Thanks for fixing the computer Iff! I will be writing when we need more help with it! :-)
Hope you guys are getting on OK - looking forward to the next installment!

This is such an incredibly exciting and crazy undertaking! I can't believe the two of you decided to do this. It takes a lot of chutzpah to just drop the life you're accustomed to and head out on a whirlwind adventure! I'm very proud of you both & plan to live vicariously through you guys and your grand expedition! Love you and God bless! Love, Jill
