While on Islay, these are the two places we will be staying:

Two of the sites to see:

http://www.theroundchurch.org.uk/

We have booked tours of the following distilleries (I used wiki references because the distillery websites will require you to confirm DOB and where-you-live before you can view the site):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardbeg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laphroaig

We've made a list of many places to see: monuments, ruins, the various towns, etc. Yes, even the distilleries, but we will tour only the two because we have memberships that will allow us to tour those at no cost. We plan to attend a few ceilidhs during the week, but we want to spend most of our time touring the island to see the country side.

We'll once again it's time to sign off. I'll ask Jacqueline to post soon (before we leave) and blog her thoughts and feelings. After our trip begins we will blog when possible including pictures of what we have seen.
