• Day 5: 8-20-23

    Our delightful host, Annie, admits to being a bit scattered at times so we all had a laugh at breakfast this morning when she offered us two kinds of whisky (Scotch) with our croissants, or, if we preferred, orange juice and tea. Then came the tea and eggs, served with two knives (no fork or…

  • Day 3: 8-18-23

    Oh, Where oh Where Did My Yellow Bag Go! We finished yesterday without any more news on the yellow bag so we started today on the watch. Karen had an online meeting, which set us on to a discussion about online meetings. But the nagging situation of the lost bag took over. We called British…

  • Day 2: The Missing Bag Mystery Continues

    Karen made us a full Scottish breakfast at 8 am. And the tea… she makes the best. We talked the morning away while I took breaks to track the missing bag (still at the airport) and make one call to the British Air who reassured me that they were doing all they could. Karen and…

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. If you’re a golfer, you’ll be able to create your own dream trip from the detailed descriptions and maps that Patti provides. 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.
