  • Day 8:  Castles and a bit of golf (T8/15/22)

    Something’s wrong with us. We started late again! I think the problem is that the tour guide (me) was having a bit of trouble getting a wish list from the tourists (Johns). They had made it very clear that today had to be a golf “off” day because of so many scheduled rounds coming up.…

  • Day 7: Late Morning, Pyle & Kenfig (Cynffig), some sightseeing! (M8/14/22)

    Because we had dinner sooo late last night and, (despite our fatigue,) we stayed awake so late reading and writing, we three slept in until 9 am (horrors!). Then spent another two hours getting up and reading and writing some more! When 11 am hit, we all assembled and left the room in a big…

  • Day 6:  From ancient Rome to Wales (Su8/13/22)

    John2 woke up early and hit the streets. He walked the whole end of town before 8 am and was on our doorstep a little after 9. We made one trip to the car with luggage, backpacks, and a package of water. (It’s hot here!) With the car packed and loaded, we were ready for…

  • Day 5: Wandering through Bath, long drive back to Heathrow (F8/12/22)

    Our goal today was to get to the Pulteney Bridge (featured in the Peter Diamond mysteries) and find the stamp shop. On our way, however, we were waylaid. First of all, by the Jane Austen Centre. There is a statue of Jane in front and a man, dressed as Mr. Bennett, welcoming us in. We…

  • Day 4: A quiet day in Bath (Th 8/11/22)

    The day started with a home-cooked breakfast, English style (mushrooms included), and then on the phone. Sadly, we’ve had a bit of trouble. John’s iPad has gone missing, and our phones no longer work. Travel comes with problem-solving solving so that’s just what we did. I bought the “top up” plan for my phone (highly…

  • Day 3: Highclere Castle, Avebury, Bath

    We got up at 6 am and still had trouble leaving by the scheduled 9 am. The hotel breakfast was fine, but not at all like a home-cooked full English, alas. Perhaps that is still coming! John packed early and had his luggage in the car before I was even out of the shower. He…

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.
