Although I haven&#8217;t seen too much of Europe, the city felt distinctive and special because of its dramatic architecture. Unlike the pastel-painted plaster facades common in what I have seen of Europe, Edinburgh sports unpretentious, unpainted sandstone on many of her buildings. The impression the architecture made on me landed somewhere between austere medieval and refined Renaissance. It&#8217;s easy to see why Edinburgh is such a popular travel destination. In our case, we came to Edinburgh to visit my parents, who have been living there for about a year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-012ecbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"012ecbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1wodWQ7r3O706oPfyd0gCIbMP2Wr7ZhY&ehbc=2E312F&noprof=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-36370a73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"36370a73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c4d2355\" data-id=\"7c4d2355\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3165647a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3165647a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24dcf018 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24dcf018\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 1 - Travel<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b1880e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6b1880e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc670e8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc670e8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b38b1b\" data-id=\"6b38b1b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db106fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db106fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We started our last morning in Kefalonia, Greece early to get Poobie to her 11:50 am flight. After dropping her off, Indi and I wandered Argostoli\u2019s main walking street. Most shops were closed, but the shade made it a pleasant stroll. Before returning the car, I made one last attempt to scrub the salt from the driver\u2019s seat, just enough to pass inspection. I think I got most of it out just in time.<\/p><p>We had heard the airport was chaotic, so we arrived early, only to find that security and passport control were quick and painless, which left us with plenty of time to kill. The airport felt cramped with only a handful of gates struggling to handle the crowds.<\/p><p>Weather warnings slowed everything down, including boarding, takeoff, and even landing, as we circled the runway in a holding pattern upon arrival in the UK. The view during our descent to London was prettier than I had expected. I saw a couple of full-on palaces or manors from the plane that blew me away.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6a1330f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6a1330f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a23fe9\" data-id=\"3a23fe9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27fe64e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"27fe64e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d61ce5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4d61ce5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13728\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2079-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61f427d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61f427d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Getting out of the airport was quick and easy.

We walked a loop by the river to take in the views (mostly of <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/57hQ3nsF9Pkhy9oJ6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tower Bridge<\/a>) before heading back to the station and continuing on the same line. From St Pancras, we crossed the street to King\u2019s Cross, where we stepped into the Harry Potter Platform 9 \u00be store. It was packed wall to wall, and the line to pose with Harry\u2019s luggage cart was massive. I settled for a keychain and a chocolate frog that cost far too much. Later, we grabbed some dodgy sushi that went straight into the trash and replaced it with surprisingly good Korean spicy chicken.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

But, after passing a few signs without paying much attention to them, we began to notice several signs for a ski resort that was coming up. We decided to check it out. <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FVnaoudLr9fcKxNs9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glencoe Mountain Resort<\/a> has a lodge with food and seating, lodging in the form of tiny cabins, and ski lifts that run year round. I don&#8217;t remember how much it cost, but we bought four tickets to ride the ski lift up the mountain. We were told there was a cafe higher up, so we hiked up to the building only to find that it had just closed. So, we walked around taking in the view before riding the lift back down the hill. It was worth the stop for me, and it was a fun way to break up the road trip.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81645a2

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tucked in Glen Nevis near Fort William, Steall Waterfall is Scotland\u2019s second-highest waterfall at 120 meters. The hike to get there is relatively short and mellow, but there are a couple of slippery spots. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/trail\/scotland\/highlands\/steall-falls-path\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alltrails<\/a> says it is 2.3 miles long with 508ft of elevation gain. The hike itself is scenic, but Steal Waterfall is the star of the show. The waterfall runs over the rock in an unbroken stream, which then runs into the nearby river. A meadow frames the cascade, which gives the place a magical feeling (it actually appeared in <em>Harry Potter<\/em>).\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31423a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"31423a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-16' class='gallery galleryid-13716 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"31423a7\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"IMG_2259\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTM4NDUsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93ZXN0aW5kaWVzdHJhdmVsLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDhcL0lNR18yMjU5LXNjYWxlZC5qcGVnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiMzE0MjNhNyJ9\" href='https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-scaled.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2259-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"31423a7\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"IMG_2258\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTM4NDYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93ZXN0aW5kaWVzdHJhdmVsLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDhcL0lNR18yMjU4LXNjYWxlZC5qcGVnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiMzE0MjNhNyJ9\" href='https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-scaled.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_2258-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0859ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0859ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You can see the waterfall just fine from the end of the trail.

a dramatic sea cliff named for its resemblance to Scotland\u2019s famous tartan garment. At the time, I thought the stop was a bit boring, but now looking back through the photos, it is one of the most impressive sights of the trip. Adding to the spectacle, the Mealt Falls cascade directly over the cliff edge, plunging into the waters below. There is a parking lot right next to the cliff, making Kilt Rock likely the most accessible destination on Skye.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

We drove to <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/WXBaVqoJFnPzShBV6\">Loch Ness<\/a> the next morning. It was too windy to kayak on the lake, and boat rides were sold out at the time that we arrived. We wanted to visit a castle by the lakeside, but the car park was sold out and we couldn&#8217;t get in without a prior reservation. So, we didn\u2019t end up doing much at Loch Ness. Instead, we went to the Loch Ness Centre to learn about the history of Nessie. It was pretty fun, kids will especially enjoy it, but it was pretty overpriced. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f39f1fc

I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions.
