I want to go to Sardinia! Mary Jane has traveled quite a bit in her 4 years at St Andrews. Cheap flights, trains, hostels to stay in, they can do it on the cheap as everything is so close. This trip is a graduation gift. She and friends took the required-after your last paper is handed in- 30 foot plunge off the local pier into the Atlantic(in the background) a couple days ago. She's done!( a huge weight is slowly lifting off me,... )

We're headed over in a couple weeks to see her graduate with the class of 2013, the 600th graduating class at the ancient school.

Mary Ann and I are doing some "cruising" for a few days in the High Lands and on the western coast of Scotland this trip while our son and daughter "party".
