I've put it on the calendar. Our schedules are hard to predict this far out, but hoping we can be there again this year--although I will be very jealous of everyone getting ready to leave for Japan!

do not have all the locations yet, but expect we will be back at the same hotel (residence inn, norwood), same restaurant for the GTG as it was well received, and hopefully a seafood place (local) for sat. night... K says she will host friday night again as we really enjoyed that last year...

It's on my Calendar.
I thought the Norwood place was great--easy to find, easy parking, good space.
Another six weeks in Europe, eh? Wonderful life you and Karen have. Such a life couldn't happen to a better couple : )

Bob, say hello to my Umbrian friends when you are there! They are in Spoletto. Your trip sounds great. Do you have any/many ports of call on that cuise??? Fifteen days at sea might get "old"... for me anyway. Hopng you have calm seas all the way!!
Wish I could get DH to go back to Italy next week when we are going over to Switzerland, but alas... not this time. No free time in the schedule...

Looking forward to the GTG, as we do every year. I really have to look at possibly going back to Japan for the GTG there. One of the best times we ever had was meeting up with Mr. and Mrs. Hawaiiantraveler and Mr. and Mrs. Karanosuke. We met up in Tokyo at a yakatoria and drank them out of sake! We didn't feel too good the next day, but we sure did have a blast!
Bob, too bad we will be missing each other. We leave for Sicily April 7. We will be spending 24 hours in Rome April 18-19. When will you be there?

Sounds like a great trip, Bob! I haven't been to Italy in many years and really want to go back! What fun you'll have! I trust you'll write a trip report!
Laurie - I want to hear the details about Sicily at the GTG. I've been wanting to go there too! Of course, I'll be looking for your trip report too!
