Preparing for departure from the U.S. to the UK for four weeks is a task. Preparing to drive in the UK for three of the four weeks is, a little intimidating. I thought I had all of the apprehension under control until I actually started to "study" the rules of the road for the UK.
There is a useful ink at www.highwaycode.gov.uk that is full of explanations and pictures to assist the novice diver. I've printed out the pages and will take them with me. In the meantime, I'll review them everyday and each night, I'll tuck them under my pillow and sleep on the information.
I would like to practice driving on that side of the road before I land in Scotland and have to drive myself and three other passengers from the Edinburgh airport to our resort, but that doesn't seem practical. Although, I am considering constructing a small highway replica with my riding lawnmower in my front lawn. Maybe a few turns UK style with the John Deere in our lawn will enable me to be in the right mindset to drive us safely away in Edinburgh!
The life of a tourist is difficult!
Travel well.

When we step off of the well-traveled path of our daily routine,there is an uncertainity in our lives that challenges us to look at life from a different perspective. In our travels, we go where many others have gone before.These notes are about the ordinary, yet magnificant things we can experience in our everyday lives as we step from our daily routine and walk another well-traveled path worn by the footsteps of others.
