Well, I now (finally) have my airline tickets. The weird news is that due to an interesting flub by my travel agent for about 12 hours I had TWO airline tickets. The good news is that it was easily corrected even though they were non-refundable tickets.

The even better news is that I'm in one fell swoop paying $700.00 less than I paid last year AND I'm avoiding both British Airways and Heathrow Airport.

Amsterdam here I come. (Gee, is there a redlight district at the airport? I hope not as I may not make it or even remember the weekend.

)

I'm so very looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones. See you all on Ferintosh 2008 Burns Weekend 2.

Sorry to be missing out in this GLOBAL gathering of xmarkers. I am sure y'all will have a lovely time. The truth of the matter is I hate poetry. Not a Burns fan at all.

Seems like we are all GIDDY with anticipation.
