I am going Canoeing on Saturday, 5 hours in the river in two man canoes up north in Indiana, should be a blast will camp out after. Won't be doing a holiday though until I return to Scotland in March next year.

Hope you have fun, I have been to Virginai and Maryland too. I went to a wedding in Annapolis and it is one of the most beautiful towns I have ever visited, I actually imagined moving there it was so nice. Enjoy. I have visited friends in Walton NY, which is up in the Catskills, its realy beautiful up there.

Hello Jeemag, sounds great. Do you ever get close to my hometown Fort Wayne, Indiana? I haven't been there for many years, but perhaps one of these days I'll make it there.

... to Brittany for 2 days in Brest visiting their huge sea life centre, a week on the north coast in cottage with pool and then 5 days yacht sailing and training! And as they seem to have got Glasgow airport going again OK,should get down to Manchester this afternoon - holidays are always a bit of a marathon travelling from Orkney. My son has had big health problems this year but fortunately we now have a sucessful treatment, so I am really hoping he develops my love of sailing and we can do it together for many more years.

Having a sun-drenched holiday in the Cyprus. Only a few hiccups - first we nearly got put on fire at Glasgow by some mindless idiots, then we spent hours not knowing what was happening - told to go to Prestwick - spent 100pounds on taxi to get there. Finally arrived 20hours late with no suitcases which were still at a standstill in Glasgow- got put to the wrong accommodation, but got moved the next day. We are now into day 5 of our holiday and our cases have turned up but we will not get them until tomorrow morning - Thomas Cook have been brill, and all we can do is laugh about it now - no point ruining the holiday any more. Still Cyprus is nice and we have escaped the never ending rain.

A few weeks back we visited Danzig in Poland and on the way back met a fellow countryman from Edinburgh on a Campingsite on the baltic coast in Kolberg then went onto the isle of Rugen which also has famous white cliffs but not as good as dare I mention it Dover. now its back on the grindstone in Bremen

My wife drives to Estes Park, Colorado in the high Rocky Mountains next Saturday for 10 days to join her girl college class mates for her reunion.

I will fly to Nashville, Tennessee late September to join my WWII Marine comrades for our annual reunion.

Always fancied the Grand Canyon and Arizona for a holiday but it's Turkey this year - hopefully lots of sun, sea and sports... Been a few years since I last went to Turkey - wonder if it's changed much. Seems ridiculously expensive to get passports for all the kids and us for the States but we'll have to bite the bullet next year as the current ones expire then.
