Roger: This trip sounds better than buying a "red porsche"(middle age crazy stuff). Did your wife even consider going? I am probably missing the point here. But the trip sounds great, unusual, but great...Have a good time and let us know how you liked the solo part....;-) Judy

Others can advise on hotels in Glasgow. But you will certainly come in to Central and go out at Queen Street. They are about 15 minutes walk apart<BR><BR>Bus tours of Mull are available from Oban and they include the ferry ride. I'll send details when I get home.<BR><BR>You could always get the ferry and use the service bus which links to the ferry times?

Judy, did the porsche thing when was 50. My wife and I have "done" GB many times together and would like to share again but it just doesn't work this year. So I am getting my fix solo, hence the unusual places. <BR>Sheila, Looking forward to details on Mull. What's a service bus? Thanks.

COOL! :-) Judy

OK. Bowman and MacDougall's (01631 563221) do a Mull &amp; Iona tour; a Mull Iona Staffa and Ulva tour, and a Tobermory tour. Oban and District do day trip on the mainland only (01631 562856. Gordon Grant's (01631 700338) also do a range of boat based trips.<BR><BR>There are lots of other boat trip operators or you can hire your own-Borroboats (01631 563292).<BR><BR>A service bus is the scheduled service.<BR><BR>Somewhere I've got a good web page reference for Mull. I'll find it and post it too.
