Tartan Tat in Edinburgh and Falling into the Set of ‘Avatar’

There’s lots of travel fun happening in our Travelers’ Café — a collection of favorite blogs for all my travel buddies. Cameron Hewitt is now in Scotland, as he realized when he stepped into the breakfast room and found a bottle of whisky. Cameron reports on the “tartan tat” (kitschy sales gimmicks travelers find in Edinburgh), the truth about “family tartans,” and much more. If you treasure your romantic Scottish clichés, don’t read his latest entry. My kids Andy and Jackie are in northern Vietnam on a two-day cruise through stunning Halong Bay. In his video report, Andy says he’s fallen into the set of “Avatar.” And Jackie writes vividly about the experience.

  1. travel does a body good!! I am mobility challenged and used a walker all over cobblestone Poland . Didn’t see any se but me using one . Poland is the cleanest, most beautiful , safest country to visit.. I hope Rick Steves will venture there sometime. Warsaw, the Jewish neighborhood, the architecture, of course the periogies. Kraków Market, the Castle, St. Mary’s, St. Francis church art and sculptures in Parks, their special Saint John Paul tour, the Solidarity movement and World War II Invasion all bring to light the beautiful, sad and historically wonderful country.
