Judy, we are like salt water crocodiles, our little group. We laze away the time, month after month, til something intresting comes along, then there is a competetive feeding frenzy. After nearly a decade of this, the pattern becomes distinct in the eye of the participant. Have a GREAT trip. The tribute website to your wonderful daughter, was a heart throbber for me. "Tears in Heaven" is a tune which I can rerlate to for a similar reason. Avoid taxi rides. Never ride in an Orkney taxi, not even if it's free. Ah hour in a cab there, and not a fancy one, costs more than a three day rental of a full sized car in Canada or the USA. Rent a car if you wish, for a day or two even, but even then this is not the tourist season, so shop around. They should rent atv's or golf carts even on the smaller isles. All just stupid. You are courageous to plot out your expedition, and to venture forth into the hallowed isles of Orkney, where the cry of St. Magnus and the roar of Thorfin Skullbasher can be heard beneath a clear seaside night sky, where the northern lights crackle, and the strs speak in a language called blink. If ya stay with Kenny and Mable, he could play those pipes for ya at midnight, overlooking the sea. He is a primero clase piper. We'll all be lurking around our 'puters to see how ya fare.
