Niki & Doug's Scotland Wedding
“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote, To travel is to live.”
I enjoyed meeting you all at the Scotland Travelers Party at the Josey's and look forward to getting to know you all better in the Highlands. Here is a link to the presentation if you missed it or would like to view again :) DOUG & NIKI'S SCOTLAND PRESENTATION
Wanted to remind you all again that I highly recommend travel insurance as many health insurance carriers do not cover you out of country. Travel Guard offers multiple policies based on your personal needs. In addition, make sure you have 6 months validity on your passport which is required to enter most countries. You can renew by mail and have back within 2-3 weeks with expedited service.
