I would like to thank Bob Kimball for his wonderful organizational skills, and for his kindness. All of the folks from MA were so terrific, and frankly, much warmer than their temperatures! (Although Marcy, Dave & I are from a part of America not particularly desert-like, either!)

I can't begin to say how lovely a time I had, how much I enjoyed meeting everyone, and how bright, witty, and interesting all you folks are.

Now I must leave to enter a detox program for my liver---I swear Dave & I together must have imbibed a case of red wine!

BTW, Marcy also invited me to join her at the topless..uh, tapas place, but I had a prior dinner engagement. Although I was sorry to have missed what I'm certain was a unique experience, cigalechanta made sure I had a nutritious and delicious meal on Saturday night, which may prove helpful to my detox efforts!

Marianna, I was sorry to hear about your mom, but you have my complete empathy, as I live with my 81 year-old mom. I hope we do meet another time, and I do look forward to it.

Thanks again, everyone!

Oh darn, I must have missed the part where Dave and Bookchick were lying on the floor and having the alcohol poured in, although it sounds like they were successful.

Nikki, let me put it this way: I would not show up on cigalechanta's doorstep within the next week, asking to borrow a cup of red wine. She will surely invite you in, because I can only speak in superlatives of her hostess skills, but there will be no wine to be had!

WHAT! No pictures yet????????

Dave? IndyTravel's got some, he just needs to post. Is Sally Fowler still facilitating the "Fodorites On the Move" website?

Bookchick - Sally's site says it is archived and she isn't adding anything new. http://fodorite.fisherfowler.net/
If anyone wants to check out older pictures of GTG's.

Sounds like a great time was had by all. So sorry I had to miss it. I hope to catch the next one.

Sally posted above and asked for a group picture for the Fodorite site.

Thanks Jody! I didn't notice Sally's earlier post about the picture.

For anyone wanting to read the details of the GTG David posted them on the US board under Boston GTG.

Sally - Is you email still the one on the website?
