Starting with a what? A ceilidh, pronounced KAY-lee. In Gaelic, I understand that means a social dance or a party. Tonight I went to my first ceilidh, which seemed like a good way to learn more about Scottish culture, since I’m going to Scotland this spring. It also seems like a good way to start my travel blog. I’ve traveled before, usually keeping a diary and taking lots of picture to share with friends. This year, however, is my first trip to Europe, so I’ll try a blog to keep friends and family up to date when I’m on the road. In the meantime, I’ll post notes here about my trip preparations. Welcome!
