We met while touring Europe in 1997. Since then, Pat and Phil came to America twice to visit us, first in 2002 and then again in 2010. In between, the four of us have toured the south of England together in 2008. Then in 2012 we flew to Adelaide and toured southeastern Australia and New Zealand with them. Now once again we come together, this time in Edinburgh, to do Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

On the Road Again

We will soon be flying out of Newark--on Tuesday evening--to meet up with Pat and Phil Rasch, our Aussie mates, in Edinburgh.  We will arrive Wednesday morning and they will be driving up from Whitby later that afternoon.  They've been touring Paris, Dejon, London and York since they left Adelaide on May 10..Once we meet, the plan is to tour Scotland, Wales and Ireland together, with one night's stay in the Lake District, i.e., Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey and Beatrix Potter country.  I have marked on the map where we are staying and for how many night in each location.
