First off, I will be taking my dachshund with me to Edinburgh and I have been researching what I have to do in order to get him prepared for the long haul overseas. Here is a website for those of you that are considering transporting your pet:

Research Underway
So I spent most of today researching what I will need to do over in Edinburgh when I get there. First off, I wanted to find out whether or not Sprint had service in Edinburgh. After a long hour of talking on the phone with a representative, I discovered that they did indeed have service (at $1.29 per minute for international calling). I then asked what the cost was to call someone in the UK and guess what? It was STILL $1.29 per minute! All I was looking for was a phone for emergency calls only. I spoke with a friend today that had given me some information on pay-as-you-go cell phones. I found a cell phone store in Edinburgh that I will visit when I arrive. The Nokia 6500 cell phone is pretty nice and it also comes with a free photo frame! Wow, out of all the things I wanted in this world! A photo frame! Anyway, they offer prepaid phone cards for that phone and there is no monthly commitment, which is awesome. I also found out that there is a COSTCO in Edinburgh, good, since I have a membership. I will be stocking up on food when I get there. Now I have to work on finding a house in Edinburgh, hopefully I will find one soon since the date is getting close. More to come on the countdown to Edinburgh.
