THISCLOSE to Scotland Again...

Every Saturday, Mom and I listen to a travel show on the radio out of Toronto. They usually have some pretty swanky destinations and this past week was no exception. Hello Edinburgh and Glascow! Sound familiar? Yes, both cities were stops on our cruise and we absolutely loved both. Anyway, Mom got through to ask a question and BAM, we were in the draw for the trip. If the radio hosts call you back at the end of the hour, you aren't allowed to say "Hello" you MUST repeat a phrase that they give you pertaining to the destination. We waited for the big call, but no such luck. I must admit, I was really disappointed. Even though it was only a week long trip, I would have loved to return with fresh eyes and soak it all in again, minus the rush of the cruise itinerary.

The prize also included a look into your ancestral roots. I have ties in the area (Aberdeen) so it would have been fun to see where that led. Anyway, we did our best. It's funny, we said when we got back, that we were going to slow down on the contests, but I think both of us our having trouble justifying watching someone else walk away with ***OUR*** stuff! :-)
