Re: Booking airfare
BKMD, they never did on the few occasions that I booked my post stay on my own. I first speak with the tour direction and explain the situation to him or her since he or she might have a better relationship with the front desk personnel and might even know them. It can happy, that you might have to switch rooms but they would mean more work for the hotel, and it wouldn’t bother me if I had to switch.
Re: Things to do in Edinburgh
British, as they say in England upon my arrival there “I’ll be knackered” so walking around is out.

Re: timeanddate.com historical weather
I have been using accuweather.com. Daily, Hourly and Monthly options. Currently using for my Michigan Lakes and Mackinac Island trip in October. Checking against my hometown weather, seems to be accurate.
Re: timeanddate.com historical weather
In two weeks I’ll be in England, Scotland , Wales and Ireland. A friend in Glasgow tells me expect more cool-cold, rainy weather but maybe even warmer so pack and be prepared to layer up and be ready for whatever the weather gods throw at me. I think any previous stats may be meaningless because of our extremes now I.e unpredictable floods, wildfires, storms etc. My 2 cents.

Re: ESW brief review
I saw the play in London in 2018 and can say that it is true to life. I worked for someone who was on one of the flights that was diverted to Newfoundland. The play (and I assume the movie) captured everything that she told us about her experience.
Re: Kenya and Tanzania- A classic Safari
Skechers slip on worked for us. We brought 2 pairs and left the first pair (really dirty) in the last hotel in Nairobi.
Re: Michigan's Lakes and Mackinac Island
Great pictures British, that you for all your reports, travel safe.
Re: Things to do in Edinburgh
I'll be doing this tour in 2 weeks and on the day of my arrival will drop of my luggage in the hotel and then explore Edinburgh by HoHo bus in the afternoon, I think I'll be a bit tired upon arrival since I cannot sleep on a plane. Good way to get an overall idea of a city.
