Back to the home land

Yesterday went something like this:
-get up at 5am
-get driven into Dublin by a man named 'Fat Frank'
-take a bus from Dublin to Belfast
-get a Ferry from Belfast to Turin
-take bus from Turin to Edinburgh
-smell someone having a smoke in washroom of bus
-arrive in Edinburgh at 6:00pm
The funny thing is that the man went for a smoke on the bus and we had been on the bus about 2 hours. I guess when you are jonesing for a smoke you just got to have it- is that right Sandi?

Today we are going to get our lives together and prepare to go into the city tomorrow to look for work and a place to live. Lets be honest I'll probably end up working at Starbucks- those bastards are back all over the city in Edinburgh. HOWEVER not a drive-thru in sight!!

Messages to pass on:
*hi Carter
*hi Luther
*Freya: don't badger me about blogging- Cut it out; Stop (just mouth the word)
*I'll try and find our roots here Gillis clan

Sorry we are just really excited for you. I think that working at S-bucks would be awesome. Why not keep your working vacation relatively stress free? I am glad that you said hi to Carter before Luther but me? And you neglected Moxie, Simon and Gracie!
Can't wait to hear about our roots.
PS This morning I talked to Carter with a British accent to tell him about your trip.

-don't let anyone name Fat Frank touch you
-don't bother saying hi to moxie, simon, or gracie... they don't even understand english
-i like the way you mixed "cut it out" (STOP) into your blog.
- mom started to wash all the man dicks you drew on the wall in your room off today.. but its a big job so she wont be done for a few weeks.
- i rode the bus with sandi the other day. she was thoroughly impressed that i was wearing your kitten sweater. just ask her.
-don't you miss root beer and the Mike McCardal minuets on the news?

Hey Rachel, So nice to hear from you. You will be the best starbucks employee they ever had and the orientation will be next to nothing for you: better still don't tell them about your experience and they will think you are brilliant. I sound like a brit. Speaking of Britt how is she. Tell her we miss her too. now one last warning( ok probably not the last ) don't fall in love with a scott. You made it through Ireland (I think )??? without a boyfriend so keep doing whatever you are doing. Just kidding love you ..Mom
