Hotel View

The view from the hotel is very nice here. I'm on the topmost floor (4th floor) of the hotel. Here are some pictures out the window.

You can even see where my iPhone is when I'm in Scotland!!

Trans Atlantic Flight

Do you know who made the first "solo" Trans-Atlantic flight? His name was Charles Lindbergh. He flew from Long Island, New York to Paris France all by himself. He landed at "Le Bourget" airport in France. He was a hero!

Here is the path that my flight took from the United States to Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

Newark

My connecting flight was in Newark, New Jersey. The flight left more than 2 hours late because of a maintenance issue with the plane. This is the only good thing about Newark Airport - Ben and Jerry's!!! Coffee (Evan wouldn't like it, but Flat Evan does).

The Trip Begins

To get to Scotland, you have to fly. If you want to fly, you have to go to the airport. The closest airport is Logan Airport, in Boston. I drove to the airport in Boston, where I will catch a flight to Newark New Jersey. In Newark, I will catch a connecting flight to Edinburgh, Scotland. The flight will leave at 8pm. The flight takes 6 hours. That means I will arrive in Edinburgh at 2am. But don't forget that Scotland is in a different timezone that is 5 hours ahead of Massachusetts. That means I will arrive at 7am. Can you do the math?

The temperature in Boston is 38 degrees Farenheit. Do you know what temperature that is in Celsius? In Scotland, they use the metric system, not the English system of measurements (ironic, considering they are part of the United Kingdom with England).
