I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

Amateur Traveler episode 382. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

Belfast but in Belfast you do a Belfast black taxi tour so you get a more personal

tour of the city to go to to via tour and let amateur traveler

get some credit go to amateur traveler.com slash tours.

First, in the Who Thought This was a Good Idea column,

points.
