Round the world and back in 66 Days

Well after a long year and an even longer time since I boarded an aircraft we, Rosemary and I are heading off on the first leg of our holiday. It will be interesting to see how tourism operators around the world treat us. We are constantly pushing quality here in Scotland sometimes successfully sometimes unfortunately not so. I measure quality and service by our own accommodation business at the Highland Club Scotland

We fly out from Heathrow to Los Angeles, then on to San Francisco and take tour of Yosemite National Park. Great idea of that American tour company to pick us up from the hotel! no searching for departure points in a strange city for us.
Well thats the plan, will update after we get back from Yosemite.

I forgot to mention in my excitement that we were going on to Australia and New Zealand for 7 weeks after Frisco! and what a trip it was! I have been so gobsmacked by it all I have only just got around to noticing I hadn't updated this post. WOW doesn't time fly? and now we are planning our 2009 return, taking in Tasmania this time. the New Zealand experience was not to be missed, will tel you about it soooon.
