Hi Blast,
From all the responses on this thread, it looks like your certainly going to have an adventure traveling to all those countries. As a Texan Oilman traveling to Scotland, why not get hold of the film '
Local Hero '. Same story line as in the film. This would probably be nearer the mark if you make it to Scotland. Just have a look around some of the fishing villages along the coast south of Aberdeen and try and make it to Braemar if you get the chance, but don't ask where you can get a Automatic Assault Rifle, you'll get some strange looks. Good Luck.
