I already want to come up to see Scotland sometime, but the possibility of seeing Northern Lights tips it over the edge for me.  I'm gonna have to get my husband on board with this.  I mean, I could go without him, but then I'd just be sad that he isn't getting to see it with me.  :P

We apparently get lots of opportunities VERY close to our house! I’ve never seen them and neither has the husband. It’s on our list to camp out one night closer to winter time and see if we can catch them!

There is a pretty cool cruise up the Norwegian Fjords on small postal ships that you can take. If you take the longer cruise and don't get to see the northern lights then they give you a free five day cruise to try again.

When I got my iPhone SE, I was paying £34 per month for unlimited calls and texts and 4GB data on a 24-month contract.

Now that my contract has ended, I’ve gone to SIM-only, paying £15 per month for unlimited calls and texts and 12GB data. It also includes free usage in 71 countries (calls and texts to U.K. numbers, plus data are included in my allowance) and unlimited Netflix, Apple Music (and other services) streaming.

And it's 100% free to use my phone when I'm in the USA.  About 50 countries are free for me to use my plan as normal.  LUXURY!

My old boss was Scottish.  We all were home based so it was all phone calls.  I can understand them now!  But WOW was it hard at first!
