Scotland Trip!

I am so excited! Saturday I will be leaving for Scotland to see our 200,000 sq ft lens manufacturing facility. This is where we manufacture our lenses using the Thermofusion Technology for our Polaroid sunglasses. It will definitely be interesting to get a close up look at our process and procedures. 
The plant is located in The Vale of Leven right outside of Glasgow. Being my first trip to Scotland, I plan on working hard AND playing hard (obviously). We have two full free days. One will be used to see the sights of Glasgow and one will be used to travel to Edinburgh and see the castle and the Edinburgh Arts Festival. It shall be quite the cultural immersion. We also have a distillery tour planned to tour the Glengoyne Distillery! I am a bit of a whiskey girl, so this is right up my alley!
Unfortunately, I found out that we will be missing the rugby match (Scotland vs. Italy), which is highly disappointing as I just started playing a couple of months ago… but I suppose this means that I will have to make a trip back soon!
This is an amazing opportunity and believe me, I will most certainly take full advantage of it! I will take many pictures and post them when I get back. I want everyone to be able to share in this awesome experience with me.
Thanks for tuning in, look forward to hearing from you all!
