August 31 2010 - Ireland, Scotland and England

Susan and cousin Sheila had a great visit to Dublin, Ireland and area, followed by a visit to a teacher friend (Tommy) in Cardiffstown, Kilmesssan, County Meath, Hill of Tara where they were introduced to many historical sights going back some 3000+ years; of course there were also Irish pubs! Then to Glasgow and a couple of days hiking on the West Highland Trail, followed by a train trip to Edinburgh (her second visit to Edinburgh) with some local sight seeing and hiking ("Arthur's Seat" was a nice walk/climb in Edinburgh.

The next leg of the holiday was to Brampton, England by train to begin the hiking and self-guided tour of Hadrian's Wall ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian%27s_Wall ) where she is enjoying the hiking, fabulous B&B facilities in Haltwhistle, and general sites (including pubs!!!). This trip continues through the 15th of Sept.

Sept 16, Susan and David meet up in London. Hopefully we'll be able to do some blog updates during the course of our travels.
