Default Crossing in 2009? Also "The Gathering 2009"

Hello Everyone

There is going to be a large Clan Gathering in 2009 in Scotland. The
people who are organizing this are trying to figure out if there is
going to be enough interest in doing a crossing to travel from North
America to the U.K. to justify charting a ship. If you are interested
in doing a crossing from North America to the U.K in 2009, you might
want to send email to

All this information is in their October Newsletter located at:

No. I'd say as long as you have a penchant for much hilarity and
gratuitous drunkenness, then you'd fit right in. :-)

The idea of "The Gathering 2009" is to have anyone who has Scottish
Ancestry, or who has an interest in Scotland to visit Scotland.

I am making my own plans to attend. If you read the newsletters post
on www.thegathering2009.com, you find out they are trying to see if
there is enough interest in doing a crossing to justify chartering a
ship. They are also working on getting air from/to Scotland so it is
affordable.

There are a number of different arranged tours on the above website.
I just though there might be some people on the rec.travel.cruises
newsgroup who might want to do a crossing in 2009. If people want to
do a crossing in 2009, they need to send info at thegathering2009.com
email saying they would be interested in this.

I would like to travel back to Scotland the way my ancestors came over
to North America, but I will settle for flying to the U.K. if I must.
