Celtic Invasion Vacations: Stirrings (Patreon)

Greetings

I’m in Italy right now. My mom needed some help at her home in Vicenza. So this morning, all of my amazing ladies hopped a plane to fly home. I’m still here.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Let’s step back in time to the start of this year’s invasion. Well. Not even the start. Before everyone arrived…

1-2 June

THURSDAY

We got a notification on Wednesday morning that our flight to Venice was delayed.

The plan was to fly Venice, then go over to Glasgow. The problem was that we only had two hours between landing in Venice and flying out. Now we had just an hope to get through customs and get to our gate…with kids.

I called the airline too look for other flights. No luck. We decided to let fate take its course.

The flight went smoothly. Kenzie said she would never go to sleep. But she did around her normal bedtime. I, on the other hand, had more trouble. She was in the seat next to me. So I was her bed rest.

We got off the plane in Venice. Fate was with us. We told attendants when we got off the plane of our short connection. They were amazing. They helped us get to the next airplane in less than 30 min. We were amazed. We made our flight and arrived safe and tired in Glasgow.

We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant with the slowest service ever. Well, it was Italian. Heh.

Got backed to the hotel. Kids were literally bouncing on the beds. As soon as they settled down for a minute, they were asleep.

FRIDAY.

I spent most of the day with my friend Steve. We walked down to the riverside. After our walk, we went to the shopping street to pick up a portable hotspot. I was unsuccessful.

Afterward, we walked to the Necropolis to meet up with Gwen and the girls. They loved it. And What a view!

We finished up the evening at a pub with a sign in the window for Innis & Gunn. Turns out they make a lager. It was ok. But found a few delicious beers before we headed back to the hotel to crash.

Tomorrow the Celtic Invasion of Loch Lomond officially begins.

I’ll see if I can share more tomorrow.
