Walking around shops…in the car on the radio… even turning on MTV you can’t escape that song. The one I’m referring to is “Amarillo” by Tony Christie.

Well after a few jokes about asking radom people while in the car, “Is this the way to ehh … what you call it … yeah Amarillo?”, i thought i would provide a public service and acually find the way!

Well according to Google Maps they are a few ways to get to Amarillo …

By train … you pass Tascosa Country Club ….

By plane (by far the easy way to get there)…. It has its own International Airport, so probally any good airline would fly there, Continental Airlines provide flights from Edinburgh or Glasgow for around £406 return (inclu .taxes)

…. or just south on Route 87 by car, just past Ross Rogers Golf Course!

Of course when you get there you’ll have to find some accomodation … google to the resuce again
