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

Amateur Traveler episode 549. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

Castles and the Royal Mile Jackabites and Hagus as we go to Scotland.

I know that I should be heading home,

but maybe not, maybe not to the day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. A little bit of

news I'll tell you more at the end but it looks like we're gonna pull the plug

on the amateur traveler trip to Japan this year.

But first, let's talk about Scotland.

I'd like to welcome the show Sarah from

Girl with the Map Tattoo.com who has come to talk to us about

Scotland. Sarah welcome the show. Thanks for having me Chris. Do you in fact have a

that covers your whole back and gets really painful when you have to fill in the countries

that you go and then you go someplace like Russia.

No, it's kind of like a nice bracelet.

I see. Good to know.

Why are we talking about Scotland?

there as well. And I'm assuming we're sending people to Scotland for the weather.
