Edinburgh

Jonathan Smith, Lonely Planet Images
We should have arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland, at 6:30 a.m. this morning, with our party of six eager golfers. We'll find St. Andrews today and check in to the Bell Craig Hotel, located a couple of blocks away from the legendary oceanside golf course. If we can find a suitable internet connection, we'll keep you posted throughout our 10-day stay. The journey started Sunday morning in Minneapolis and we'll probably be dragging some today, especially the old duffer in the group. But we shouldn't complain. It probably took Stan's great-great-grandfather Peter Jackson a bit longer to do the same thing in reverse 160 years ago.
