http://www.cleveland.com/open/story.ssf?/open/more/junk... Ever wonder what it was it was like to be a pampered VIP on one of rogue lobbyist Jack Abramoff's swanky junkets? An email that the federal government released on Feb. 10 listed a tentative travel itinerary for the August 2002 golf trip to Scotland that Abramoff took with GOP Rep. Bob Ney, former Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed and others.
The July 23, 2002 email from Abramoff said the group was scheduled to leave Baltimore Washington International airport on Saturday, Aug 3, 2002, on a Gulfstream jet run by New World Aviation.
After arriving in Edinburgh in on Sunday, Aug. 4, they were slated to check into the Old Course Hotel and scheduled to tee-off at Kingsbarns links at 4 PM. The day was to conclude with dinner at the hotel's Road Hole Grill.
The group was scheduled to leave the hotel at 9 AM on Monday, Aug. 5 for an 11 AM tee-off at Carnoustie links. After dinner at an unspecified Edinburgh venue, possibly with the Conservative Party, Abramoff's crew was to attend a "Military Tattoo" performance at Edinburgh Castle.
