As I Look Outside My Window
It is 7:40 here at the Keflavik Airport in Reykjavík, Iceland. Our plane just landed after a terrific flight from Logan in Boston. Wow, what an airport! It was twice is large and busy than Philly when we made our Ireland trip!

 The photo was taken as the sun came up and to clouds became rosy!

As we began our descent the land of Iceland came into view!

But I love this photo taken Eastern standard time at midnight as we were flying due north the horizon and the new day began to glow out our window!






Right Now

I am sitting in the Keflavik terminal awaiting the next leg of our flight to Glasgow. It leaves at 9:40 and arrives in Scotland around noon! I hope the day will be as sunny and bright as here! This is a very modern yet rather quaint airport compared to Logan!




Thinking and Pondering

There is a rather festive attitude everywhere we have been. Families from many nationalities all spreading their wings , flying off in many directions seeking that perfect adventure written just for them ….the joy on faces as they break out of the covid shackles and freely choose to go adventuring ,,, in droves ….in every direction ….it is really cool to be a part of it all!

How I Am Feeling This Morning

Sort of elated I overcame a great fear I have harbored ever since Amanda was a baby and we went to the Philly International airport to pick her up. I had never been fearful of escalators until that night when I was carrying my previous brand new 3 month old daughter from the airport to the hotel limo to take us back to our lodging . When I got to the escalator it was at least 4 stories high! I froze I could not take a step! We had to find an elevator and I have walked way out of my way ever since using elevators, my trepidation was so strong! Last night as we left to walk the passageway to our flight , the passageway was at the end of an escalator and it was the only way to board the plane! I cringed and nearly cried, but I did it because I had to for my granddaughters! And myself!
On The Breakfast Plate



Lynn and I ate very little yesterday and I was famished when we walked into this airport. After our bathroom trip we stopped by a lovely cafe and bought a beautiful muffin each and bottled water! Mine was chocolate caramel brownie muffin and his was blueberry muffinThey were delicious!
I am finishing this post late Monday evening!




On The Menu

Monday: Tonight we dined at the Ox and Finch a gastronomical adventure’we ordered over 18 small plates of the most amazing combinations to share! Yum!

Tuesday: in the morning we will enjoy our first full Scottish breakfast here at Sandy Ford Lodging on the Royal Crescent in Glasgow!

Wednesday: seafood will definitely be on the menu when we set sail for Oban and that is all I can say into our next day or so!

From the camera…

Amanda was sitting by our window flying into Glasgow and she took these gorgeous photos as the clouds parted and we began our descent. The land came into view.   The sun shining through the clouds created many rainbows.











On My Prayer List

Pray for traveling mercies as we drive  around Scotland.. it is rather daunting for Lynn, the driving on the left takes getting used to!

Pray for our flights and all they entail to be safe and work out accordingly.

Pray for a wonderful 2 weeks in Scotland,
Safely driving in unknown territory, on the wrong side of the road, in cars that are set up differently with the driver on the right side of the front seat! Tricky!
Everyone to be safe, Us older ones to be safe in our mobility and the children to be safe in such a different environment.
Pray for the children to be safe..for example when the kids with their parents go to see the puffins... the cliffs have no fences … the puffins perch around the cliffs and tourists are on their own to be safe. Pray for our granddaughters to be wise and careful. One of them is rather impulsive.
Pray that we just allow God to direct our path to see and enjoy the perfect things of his creation and all will go well with us and then he will bring us all home safely!Amen!
