8 Days in Heaven on Earth, Scotland
This trip was suppose to happen in July 2020.
Then COVID hit and everything got canceled.
We rescheduled from July 14th to 21st 2021.
Sunday Open, play St. George's on Monday and 5 rounds in St Andrews.
Sounds great, right?
UK didn't lift 10 day quarantine until July 19th even for fully vaccinated people.
Trip got canceled again.
Now September 3rd to 11th, we are trying for the third time but not sure if it'll happen.
First off.
Ida hit New York area and everything went under water.

Wednesday all the flights at JFK got canceled.
Thursday all the flights were delayed.
We are leaving Friday 7pm with tons of paper work in hand.
(CDC vaccine card, 72 hour PCR negative test result, passenger locator form and the receipt of 2 day PCR test kit ordered to our hotel)
Because we can't check in online due to paper work to proof, check in line at JFK terminal 4 was an hour long.
Took 1.5 hour to clear check in and security.
We are finally heading to Amsterdam.

There's no more non-stop from JFK to Scotland, we flew over Scotland to Amsterdam and back track to Edinburgh.
Crying baby the whole duration of the flight, group of Chinese in hazmat suits, fatigue from 14 hour journey, nothing mattered when we finally arrived in Scotland.

We booked our trip through an agency which provided transportation from the airport to our hotel.
It was nice not to worry about driving on the left side of the road.

This was the view on my computer for few years now.
I can't believe I'm finally here to see and experience everything in person.
