We wanted to go to the Highlands and possibly visit the Isle of Skye. Which country?Īnd so the hours of planning began, as we prepared for the travel across 9 time zones. Me: We’re going to take a trip this fall. We took it but ended up using my iphone, though we were pretty clear about the way out of Glasgow by then.Īcross the Pond to Scotland October, 8-24, 2019

They did have a portable Tom-Tom SATNAV device we could rent for $80 for our Honda. They held the original deposit until they could “thoroughly” evaluate the damage done to the Mercedes. The caveat was that we must make ANOTHER $3000 deposit in lieu of their liability coverage. However, I doubted/hoped that a tire would not cost that much. The agent couldn’t resist a smirk because we didn’t take their liability insurance. “Green Motion” was ready for us with the small car we originally booked. It was pleasant to be in a country where people are paid a livable wage and one is not expected to tip everywhere. I offered him a 10 pound tip that he took reluctantly. He unloaded the car, maneuvering it into its tiny spot, said goodbye and good luck and headed to retrieve his car and go home. He made a difficult situation bearable and got us to “Green Motion” before 8pm. He told Jim about another way to Ft William, our destination, that was longer, but wider and straighter. The whole way back John cheerfully chattered, offering suggestions of what to see and where to go, his strong brogue was delightful but sometimes hard to understand. A lumber truck was coming and for the first time, John pulled over to the side. We continued down the road with John in charge. John: “The best stars in Scotland are in the Highlands.” John: “The best stars in the world are in the Scottish Highlands.” John had served in the British Army in both Afghanistan and Iraq driving an armored tank carrier. He drove the Mercedes onto the ramp of the truck and we climbed into the cab behind him and started back to Glasgow while John managed the very large truck and the narrow road like the expert he is.

“Redeeming Characteristics” The driver was a tall, lanky Scotsman, who was efficient, helpful and…….funny. It closed at 8pm and if we did not get back before 8pm we would have to wait for the next day. A very large tow truck arrived with orders to return us to the Glasgow car rental place. There are many bars I would not venture into in North America, but in Scotland, the pubs are “family affairs.”įinally, I received a text from the tow company.
I had never stayed in a 1705, shingled inn in the Scottish countryside, frequented by sheep drovers. I wasn’t sure if that was good news or bad news. “There are rooms upstairs available,” said Jim. Even in this old pub there were vegan offerings and “let us know if you have allergies” comments in the menu. Jim talked to the innkeeper while I talked to Mercedes.
