Off to Scottland

I am being forced to take leave next week as I have 5.5 days of use or lose leave. I figure if I have to take leave I'll go someplace I enjoy. So I'm taking my wife to Scotland again. We will spend Mon in Glasgow and then head to Dumfries and spend a few days walking around the country down there. It helps that we like Burns poetry. We will impose ourselve on P1M's hospitality at Ferintosh for three nights. We get to see some of the places that he has posted pics of before. Can't wait. Talk to ya'll later.

YMOS,
Tony

I feel sorry for you having to take a forced vacation. Hopefully you'll get over the trauma after a scotch or two. O'Neille

Yes, forced is the word.

I had actually thought I had taken enough to not be in this situation but the Army is good at making sure you know that no-one is indispensable. I'm sure a few doses of Scotch, some haggis, and a week kilted will be a suitable treatment for the shock.

YMOS,
Tony

Being forced to spend time in Scotland is a punishment? :confused:

I would call it a reward!

My sympathies go out to you. But not vary far. Wish someone would force me to take leave/vacation in Scotland

**David Dalglish** · 17th September 06, 11:01 PM

You will need more than one day in Glasgow--Have a great time

**Ruanaidh** · 17th September 06, 11:50 PM

Relax, see the sights and have a good time. You have our sympathies.

puir wee lad...

Yes Glasgow is great and you might like to spend more time there - but, then, so's the countryside round Dumfries. A hard choice. Just adds to your punishment

Have a great time. I'm sure you will.

ay! A stay at the Ferintosh is must (says I who was there over the week-end...)

Thanks again Robertson and Emma for making my first visit to Dumfries an excellent experience!!!

You'll probably beat me to posting pictures, as I won't be back in Norway for another week (!)

Two points:
#1: an Xmarker that checks in to the Ferintosh is on a pilgrimage (as I proudly see it)
#2: when ordering breakfast, make sure you order the "web site breakfast"
