Vancouver! First trip home

I made my first trip home to Vancouver in December. It was a busy time for me, every minute of every day was booked solid! It's a good thing i rented a car as i pulled my suitecase in and out of the boot so many time, i lost count. I tried to devide my time eaqually bewtween all my friends and family but unfortunately some got less than others and i felt so bad about this. I won't bore you with all the details, the pictures speak for themselves.

Arye, Scotland

I headed off for a weekend to Scotland the begining of november. It's only a 30 minute flight from Dublin and it was a birthday present from my friend Katrina. I stayed in a lovely old hotel called the Old Racecourse Inn in Arye. It is a seaside village and would be beautiful in the summer but it was a cold and windy weekend! At least the colors on the trees were incredible.

The people here were very friendly and a family even gave me a ride back to my hotel after a long day of walking. I didn't realize that on sundays after 5pm the buses stop running! It's a quiet town, which was fine by me. I enjoyed the walks through the woods and on the beach. The town's claim to fame is Robbie Burns. He wrote the words to Auld Lang Syne!
