World Traveller and bon-vie-bon...
Hi, all all from the land of the bonney, wee Scots - land of my fathers:
Here I am in Scotland for WorldCon. My friend, Liz, and I are staying in a B&B just down from the red tunnel that connects one side of the hwy to the other and the convention centre. Literally just 5 minutes away. Less than the big hotels and just as convenient.
Since we arrived, we have been catching up on lost sleep from the plane trip, food (because we like that part) and getting a feel for Glasgow as the reason for the trip is the 10th anniversary of the last Glasgow WorldCon that we attended. Hum, that was the last Glasgow WorldCon period. Oh, well!
Today, we went to Paisley - on the local train line so we got a special day pass which took us into town and then onto Paisley. Now, if the name sounds familiar - yes, as in the pattern! - then you get the prize. What is it, you ask? Something paisley of course. Still want it?
Tomorrow we start at the con in ernest - today was the first official day but we played hookey! hahaha
Most reports from Scotland in the near future.
Ciao!!!!!
