<DIV>Hello Everyone</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Several things have come up in the last couple of days to warrant this EXTRA! edition.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#010101></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>FIRST - CAN YOU GO TO SCOTLAND TOMORROW????</DIV>
<DIV> Or one day in the next couple of weeks??? Hobbit Travel has a hot deal to warm your cold Scottish bones. Two people traveling together, purchase your tickets BEFORE February 16 and COMPLETE your travel by February 29, and your round trip tickets to Glasgow on IcelandAir will cost $206 each. You can't fly to Chicago for that little amount of money. This is surely an offer to appeal to all Scottish hearts. The catch, of course, is that you practically have to have your suitcase packed before you open this email.</DIV>
<DIV> So, if this interest you at all, call Kim at Hobbit Travel, 612-332-3332.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SECOND - THERE IS A MISTAKE IN THE DIRECTIONS TO OLIVET CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH</DIV>
<DIV> 5. February 6, 2004 - Friday, The Return to Eilean Dubh Concert, Olivet Congregational Church, 7:30 p.m.<BR>The Return to Eilean Dubh is a winter's night concert to warm you with the kind of "ceilidh" that a small Scottish island community might throw for themselves, complete with music, dancing, and a feast of Scottish savories. Traditional Celtic band Dunquin, guest artist Laura MacKenzie, and the RSCDS present old and new Scottish music and dance. Olivet Congregational Church, 1850 Iglehart Ave, St. Paul - one block north of Marshall Ave and one block <STRONG>WEST</STRONG> of Fairview Ave. Pay at the door, $10, No advance tickets. For additional information call 651-644-4779. <BR>AND Hot of the presses, the second Scottish Island Novel, the sequel to Westering Home, The White Rose of Scotland, will be available for purchase and signing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"The correction of course is the church is one block WEST of Fairview not east as previously reported.<FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10"> </FONT></DIV>

This would be the custom in Britain among those “in the know” but, as he is visiting the “colonies”, a breach of this etiquette would likely not be considered an attack on the Queen.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Brits learn this behavior while babes in arms, so don't feel you will have to fall on your sword if you make a boo boo. Just do your best. Suck it up and be dignified.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
