Hi All,
There is always anxiety getting through Heathrow. This time it went smoothly and we were sitting at the gate in plenty of time.
The flight to JFK was uneventful and we landed 45 minutes early.
Next morning we were greeted by an email telling us our flight from NY to Boston was cancelled and we were rebooked 8 hours later!
Some phone calls and a cab ride to LaGuardia got us out an hour earlier than our original 12:30 flight.
Hope you all enjoyed our adventure in the United Kingdom. See below for some interesting Scottish phrases.
Love,
Sandy & Carl

During our time in the UK we have picked up a fascinating collection of expressions rarely heard this side of the Atlantic:
When asked how long our VAT tax refund would take, the reply was, "In the fullness of time"
One B&B operator did not rent to campers since they take long showers and " Nick the loo paper"(translates to steals the toilet paper).
The people of Edinburgh are sometimes characterizes as having a fancy facade but nothing underneath. The expression is "Fur coats and no knickers"
Another B&B operator jokingly admonished Elliot to, " Keep a civil tongue in your mouth"
"Haste Ye Back" signs were frequently seen as we left towns along the southwest Scottish coast.
