| | | The Wizard is off to Scotland
Yesterday I purchased the tickets for Bobbie and I to make our business trip to Scotland and England.
We will be flying into Glasgow on Thursday the 18th of June and back home out of Gatwick on Tuesday the 30th.
We will base our Scottish part of the trip at the Ferentosh Inn with Robertson and Emma.
To meet with our suppliers we plan day trips which should take approx the first week.
We will then travel south visiting with more suppliers and doing some of the Tourist stuff.
It would be great to meet as many X Markers as we can squeeze into our trip.
If anyone would like to have a cuppa with Bobbie and I would you please drop me a line via e-mail and we will plot you on our map.

Steve,
I'm confused! I thought Grant was voted off the country.
Why do you have to leave?
Cheers
Jamie

While it's true that here in Canada it was voted that Flowing Locks and Pert Behinds were not allowed on anyone other than co-eds under the age of 28 it was deemed that someone had to go to Scotland and warn them that a rubber chicken was loose upon the world.

God's speed on your international mission of mercy. We can only hope and pray they will listen to your cautionary tale.

Now that we know when you won't be there, we can begin to plan our trip to Canada. Passport applications will be filed tomorrow (funny how we can get into Canada without a passport, but we need one to come home. Wonder why we would bother to come home?  ).
be well,

So let me get this straight - if I leave my passport at home the next time I visit Canada I get to STAY there? Sweet!

Steve, if you and Bobbie happen to pass through Toronto on your way there or back, please let us (the SOKS (yes, Grant too ...)) so we can offer you our hospitality.
And the same offer applies to Jamie and Star, too. It's just that in your case, we'll have to muzzle the chicken first.
