Have a wonderful, magical trip!
Have excellent fun, Ellen!
After spending a long holiday in Scotland I can really understand those conflicting emotions, time spent away from home is wonderful in one way, but doesn't it just pull on the ol heart strings - doubly so for you, as you have so many fond memories of the place you are visiting - a tough one.
I'm green with envy!! have a great time,take lots of pictures & come back and share with us .
Hope your travel day went well and you have a wonderful visit.
