I fell madly in love with Edinburgh

Deepy, madly, truly. Went all over the city and to The Castle twice. Loved. Every. Second. (Have the Edinburgh Edition of Monopoly, too, not that that's apropopos of anything.) We were there a few weeks before Christmas and it wasn't any colder than where we lived in the States. The thing that got me was that you had to dress for the cold because you walked everywhere, but then when you go into the shops, they're heated to about boiling point. Then step out again into the cold. Maddening. I even heard them talking about how the shops were too hot on the news.

Tried to talk DH into transferring to the UK branch of the company he worked for at the time. He thought about it then decided no. To this day I regret not moving there.

We went all over Scotland, too, in a rental car. Stopped briefly in England at Housestead's Fort since I wanted to see Hadrian's Wall, and the rest of the trip was back through Scotland. It was amazing. Best vacation I've ever had. Ever.

Sorry, I just can't wrap my head around anyone not wanting to go back! But then I didn't freeze!
