Packed and ready to go.

Well now I am all packed and although the weather seems damp and cool in Scotland and Cumbria I am really getting excited about this trip. I have shared this blog with family and a few friends and will accept their welcome feedback.

You can see I have a couple of good travel hats, a backpack and only one suitcase. My book of maps and a guidebook on Hadrian's Wall with lots of helpful information. Jenn and Kyle gave me an unlocked cell phone so I'll pick up a SIM card when I first get to Glasgow and will have lots of ability to make phone calls and use data for a relatively low price. Certainly couldn't have bought a package from my provider here that would have compared.
