Ice cream over there is so much better.
I’m hijacking the thread for a minute.
It’s Liner meet time today. Woohoo!
I hope the trip to Edinburgh went well @melcort10. See you later, along with @Shmebulock.
I am SO excited @Nicky_S !! And it is right around the corner from my flat.
Sorry I have neglected the thread! I had mostly no Internet yesterday. Drive was good! We had a tight timeline to return the car so we just made some quick stops.
The wheel was not running so at least parking was free. A teensy letdown but the area looked cool.
These guys (gals?) were well worth the detour!
Edinburgh is fantastic so far! We are in a great location so close to everything. I’m joking that the location was a bait and switch because we are across from a very large park/garden but it is private! But it’s nice and quiet and actually a large space.
Had dinner at a very cute Italian place. We went pretty early but did not have a reservation so they sort of didn’t want to seat us but they did and we were thankful. It was delicious. DS6 wanted fish and chips lol. So he had to settle for Branzino
Have fun meeting up today!
Don’t forget we need pics!
Yay for a liner meet!
Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities.
And the moment (3 hours!) We’ve all been waiting for!
First a little gin in the front bar…
Then some tea!
The Dome. What a cool place!
Thank you @Nicky_S and @Shmebulock for a truly delightful afternoon. It was so great meeting you and I’m very glad we were able to make it happen. Next time we need to do it again at WDW!
It was so lovely to meet you guys today
Hope the rest of your trip goes perfectly.
Fabulous liner meet!!
Where was tea?
It was so nice meeting @melcort10 and @Shmebulock this afternoon. Who would have thought my first Liner meet would be in my home town?
Delicious afternoon tea at The Dome, where we chatted (and ate) for 3 hours. Now I have to somehow work up an appetite for dinner in around 30 minutes.
Just googled The Dome. Putting it on the list for the next Edinburgh trip.
We have had a shortage here in the US. We drank the last 18 on Disney property (the bar keep at Beach Club spent 20 minutes calling around for us), we couldn’t find any in Philly. We managed to find 12 in Chicago’s airport and a small bit here in Vegas. We were just told last night 18’s coming back to our local bar and DH almost danced he was so happy!
I’ll use your recommendation if the shortage continues!
All the hearts! I’m so glad you all were able to make this happen! So funny about the first meet being there!
That looks delish!
You’ll need to let me and @Shmebulock know when that is.
That goes for anyone else heading this way too.
It may be awhile. Our last UK trip was canceled due to stupid Covid. And our Canada trip this year was canceled too. My travel bucket list is rather extensive.
I don’t know when but DW and I WILL come to Scotland someday! I’ll be in touch when I do.
That all looks very upmarket- and looks amazing!
So cool! Yay for a Scotland Liner meet!
