More Dublin and our return home, Sept 16th, 17th & 18th.
I am finishing this blog from home, since we were busy and internet access was slow at the Air BnB. Sept 16th: Peg and I are not city people, we appreciate them but prefer more open, less populated areas. That said we enjoyed a day visiting Dublin proper, using the same bus tour we used…

Exploring Edinburgh: A Boater’s Adventure on the Canals
We started on the 3rd in Richmond, flying to Laguardia in NY., where Bruce and Linda picked us up and we went to JFK for our flight to Edinburgh, Scotland. The flights were pretty uneventful (small delays, but nothing problematic). Our flight to Scotland was an evening/night flight, but rest was the best we could…
