My Tartan Day experiences...

[pdcorlis]

Now that's what I call a GREAT day!

[GMan]

Piece of cake wasn't it? You did well, wonderful feeling isn't it?

That was nice to hear.

Sounds like a most excellant day.

My Tartan day went wholly uncelebrated. There were no events happening way out here in the most unScottish of places (Hawaii), plus I had to work.

Again, though... I'm glad you had such a rockin' Tartan Day!

There are at least two pipe bands in Hawaii as well.

BTW, a wee bit of trivia: Princess Kaiulani of the Hawaiian monarchy was half-Scottish:

Never understimate the Scottish diaspora! :mrgreen:

What a great story of PRINCESS KAIULANI. I am sure it was the Scottish side of the family that gave her the courage to face the press of America.

I shall have to keep tabs on this link... it discusses a rescheduling of the Scottish Festival that didn't happen on April 1&2.

Interesting. I have to admit... my Hawaiian history is weak at best. I'm a Hoosier by birth and devine right. Hawaii is simply where I've been temporarily exiled by the Navy.

I could sure enjoy that kind of exile, far from subzero temps and snow.
