My family and I decided that we want to try and spend two weeks or so over in the UK and visit Scotland and Ireland since that’s where our roots come from. Also, it is very beautiful and seems peaceful. We are thinking we will be able to go in about 3 or 4 years, but either way I can’t wait!

How I did it: Saved for years, $100 a month. Searched websites and watched plane tickets for months. Booked a great tour guide - just a guy with a van, no overhead. Ended up meeting up with another family with the same aspirations. It ended up being a lovely trip, and we all want to go back! Read how I did it…

It was beautiful countryside!!!After a trip to Loch Ness we ended up in Iverness.The next day we headed back home. Read how I did it…

I’ve always wanted to go since my family is Scottish. It’s something I figured I would do later in life. My stepsister passed away in November, and I realized how short life actually was. I decided that I’m going to go this summer. I asked for two weeks off and was approved for two weeks in June!!! Now comes the planning.

I’ve always felt a connection to Scotland, I’m not sure why. I’m only about a quarter Scottish, but I’ve always felt like I belong there. Or at least that something is there for me, something for me to learn from or take with me for the rest of my life. I’m determined to go some day soon.
