Dave's 30th B-day Trip

So for months now I've been saying that we are going to take a big vacation around Dave's 30th birthday. It is all official as we have purchased the airline tickets. We have gone back and forth on the exact itinerary, but we finally came to a conclusion and we are leaving on May 17th! The schanker's will be spending two more weeks in Europe for Schanker European Adventure Part 2. We will start in Paris (about 3 days) then head to London via the Chunnel where we will spend an additional 3 days. After London, we will hop on another train to go to Edinburgh, Scotland. While in Scotland we plan to take a day trip to Loch Ness and also see some of the many castles. Next we will spend a day in Glasgow prior to heading by ferry to Belfast. We will spend a day in Belfast and take the two hour train ride to Dublin. Where we will finish up the last 2 days of our trip by drinking Guinness and seeing a horse race. Then we fly back to Pennsylvania where my friend from high school is getting married. We will finally return to LAX after the wedding. It will be another long trip since we will be gone about 18 days. I can't wait. I'm so excited just thinking about. I think I'm mostly excited about returning to Dublin and being Dave's own personal tour guide, since I've already been there. Although the thought of drinking a bottle of wine in a little cafe in Paris is pretty exciting too. Only Seventy some days to wait!
