BOSTON, June 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Nationally syndicated radio travel expert, Stephanie Abrams, flew to Scotland for yesterday's arrival of Nathan Warmack at Edinburgh Airport. Nathan caught Abrams' attention when he was denied entry wearing his kilt to his Missouri high school dance. While his parents mediated with the school board to change its dress code to allow for the display of cultural diversity and pride in heritage, Abrams set about to send them to Scotland!
"When I read the story about Nathan's plight, I was confounded that he could be barred from a school event for showing up in a kilt," Abrams explains. "I asked Nathan's dad if he would allow the 'Stephanie Abrams Travel Fairy Godmother' to whisk the family off to Scotland. What Nathan needed was to stand on Scottish soil, breathe Scottish air and visit historic sites he had read about. With the help of friends in the travel industry, I flew the Warmacks to Scotland on Continental Airlines for nine glorious days, they drove away in a Mercedes provided by 1car1 Car Rental, and headed for 5- star historic castle hotels including Dalhousie Castle near Edinburgh and Glenapp Castle near Loch Lomond."
Abrams' enthusiasm for meeting the Warmacks grew. "A bond had grown between us and I'd never met them so I decided to surprise them upon their arrival yesterday! It was a grand moment! A bagpiper greeted them at Dalhousie Castle along with BBC 1 who captured both radio and TV interviews with the Warmacks and myself. The Scotsman, Scotland's national newspaper, printed a great photo of Nathan on the terrace near Dalhousie's spa above their Falconry lawn. Unfortunately, their report was a bit confused with the facts of how Nathan's trip came into being and the scope of the trip. The BBC's video and audio news clips, however, will be archived on my award-winning website, www.sabrams.com, so those who were not lucky enough to be in Scotland can hear about Nathan's experience," Abrams notes.
"Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams!" on the Business TalkRadio Network(tm), is heard weekly by 4 million radio listeners coast-to-coast on Sundays in the U.S. She appears weekly on Saturdays on "Traveling Feet" on the Matrix Media Network.
While in Scotland, Abrams, her "Traveling Companion," David Isby and crew broadcast "Traveling Feet!" from Dalhousie Castle and "Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams!" from Cringletie House; golfed at St. Andrews; visited Rosslyn Chapel noted in "The Da Vinci Code;" met with the Duke of Roxburgh at his home, Floors Castle, where Prince Albert proposed to Fergie, and met The Laird Blackburn of Fernie Castle at his wonderful castle hotel, just 15 minutes from St. Andrews.
"I'm delighted this brought me back to Scotland. For the Warmacks, this trip to Scotland isn't a luxury. It's a necessity!" Abrams concludes.
