We have arrived!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick email to let you know that Christine and I have arrived in Scotland safe and sound! Well, safe, anyways... we basically haven't slept since we left, so we are a wee bit tired and zombie-like. We hope to get a fresh start on the day tomorrow.

As for the flight, it was bearable considering that we had a 2 hour delay in Vancouver, an hour delay in Calgary, it was freezing, you had to pay for blankets and headphones, and the food made us, well, unsettled. Apparently others felt the same about the food because about 45 minutes before landing in Glasgow a kid threw up (and I mean, really explosive projectile vomit... sorry for the imagery there hehe...) in the seat right in front of us, and that started a chain reaction. In total, 5 people were sick on the plane before we landed! Those poor flight attendants, they sure earned their money on that flight. I was fine though, I actually thought it was mildly amusing and kept thinking of that old movie "Airplane" with the guy with the "drinking problem".

Anyways. We are in Glasgow, birthplace of my grandmother! We had dinner at a lovely pub, the place we are staying seems clean and decent, and we are starting early tomorrow to do some serious sightseeing. We spent part of the afternoon today in an amazing museum and art gallery... but there is lots more to see other than the dingy streets and general disrepair that reminds us just a little bit of East Vancouver.

Hope y'all are well, will update you again when I can! :)
Cheers
Elaan
