Scotland, Day 18: A Leisurely Morning, then the Championship Course!
(Thank you for reading. Click the title for more.) We woke up late after some midnight ruckus. Oh yes, again and here in the luxurious and wonderful Carnoustie Golf Hotel.

England: Day 14, Hadrian’s Wall, at last! Then, Scotland at last!
(Thanks for reading. Click on the title for more.) We packed up and left our comfortable but a bit inconvenient Horse and Farrier Inn at about 9 am with the aim of arriving at Housesteads on Hadrian’s Wall at 10 am. Bingo, on the dot! Hadrian’s Wall was started in around 121 A.D. by Emperor…

England: Day 13, Silloth on Soloway! And a Castle!
(Thanks for reading. Click on the title for more.). We awoke in our new hotel with the vague memory of “breakfast not included” and an early tee time. This meant that we needed to be on the road with just a cup of tea and the vague notion that I had packed an energy bar…

Patti Brugman is a thoughtful traveler who seeks out experiences that her armchair readers would like to share. Patti and her husband, John, like adventure and golf. Golf takes them to Scotland almost every year and to gorgeous courses that are off the tourist track.

Additionally, Patti and John have travelled to Egypt, Antarctica, France, Great Britain, and domestic destinations. Please join in travel fun through Patti’s stories and photos.
You’ll read about watching lost luggage, armed with an air tag, travel all over Edinburgh before finally trundling down the country road of the farmhouse where she was staying. Or, another bag that took two days to arrive in Cairo. You’ll read about tasting haggis and see Patti’s expressive reaction to other less palatable concoctions. And you’ll marvel at the how close up views of penguins in Antarctica and how high the snow-covered trails took them. In Egypt, you’ll learn about the secret language of Ancient Egyptian and why structures that are more than 5,000 old are still strong and colorful.
Patti’s world is a glorious and colorful place, full of opportunities. Come travel with her and immerse yourself in language, adventure, food, and music. Her blogs make it easy to either delve deep into specific experiences or brush through as many as you can in search of one that suits your travel taste.
