Well, I'm off to Scotland

The family and I are just about to load up the car for the trip to the airport. We're heading off for a week's vacation in Scotland. We're flying into Glasgow and taking the train to Edinburgh where we've rented an apartment for the stay. It's only about a third of a mile from Edinburgh Castle!

In Scotland there are plenty of student discounts, and you can bet I'm going to take advantage of them.

On the topic of distance learning, I'll be bringing my ethics textbook with me to study my assignments when we have some down time, between sightseeing and eating and drinking and more eating and walking around and even more eating. Score another big, big point for distance learning: I'll even be able to submit my St. Petersburg College homework assignments via the web from my rented apartment overseas.

Oh, and Edinburgh is home to Heriot-Watt University, an internationally well-respected university that offers distance learning degree programs. If you're interested in reading about the programs they offer, here's a link to their site:

Well, it's time to get going! The next blog entry you read from me will be posted from Scotland!
