Something new?

Well if I don't redo the alphabet I'm not sure I will know what to write daily.  I could start with the magazine I got from a friend about tours in Scotland.  Ken, I and maybe a niece, nephew and wife or a nephew will be joining us.  I would like them to met their relatives who are still there.  One niece and I went in 2001 and were in Invernes when the planes hit the twin towers Sept 11.  We were informed by the bed and breakfast owner we were inquiring about a room for a couple of days.  He asked us if we were American and had we heard what happened in New York.  We said no we were Canadian and no we hadn't heard.  He took us into the room we were going to have for a few days and there on the telee was the reenactment of  the disaster.  Didn't mean to dredge up old memories but that is what I wrote and am not going to delete it.  There was also a great difference from the airport we landed in on Sept 6 to the one we left from three weeks later.  Gatwick was a peaceful airport on the 6 but on the day we left it was a military zone.  Two security guards every few minutes were walking one way and then a couple of minutes later a different couple went the opposite direction.  It was scary to see them with sub-machines at the ready.  Then the shock of the Vancouver airport where there was no one around anywhere even to exchange money for the pay phone.  It was amazing how lax Vancouver's airport was in security in the middle of the night.   My niece and I thought about how easy it would be for someone to terrorize that airport.  I suppose this last line could be taken as a terrorist threat, BUT IT ISN'T!  I am just stating what happened and how amazed we were.
