Sunday, September 28, 2008

Said goodbye to a tearful Catherine Carlin, always a sentimental lady. Went to Glasgow airport, returned our rental car and boarded our plane for the flight home. I was fortunate enough to get a window seat and the view I got will stay with me the rest of my life. As we took off and gained altitude, the plane banked right and wheeled over the Highlands and islands giving me a breathtaking view of the hills now mostly brown with bracken, broken up by lochs, inlets and patches of green. I promised Scotland - I will be back.
Nine hour flight home. Flew into 'strong headwinds' - a gentler way of saying we were fighting an Atlantic hurricane!
