I won't say how old she is, only that she is a long way from being a senior. Thought others might enjoy a chance to send their best wishes her way too! I will say it is one of the milestone years, and that it is not 16, 21, or 50. She is one of the most gregarious of Fodorites who started the local meetings. We've made some great friends among the DC Group. Thanks a lot Monica! Happy Birthday! See ya!

Hey go GO girl! <BR>And may you have many more ahppy years of travel ahead <BR>

Happy B-day , Monica!

Glucklich Geburtstag Monica and many more. <BR>Cheers, <BR>Art <BR>

Happy birthday, Monica! <BR> <BR>Some of the things you can look forward to now: <BR>1. Wearing reading glasses, if you've never worn them before; 2. Those pesky gray hairs, if you've never had them before; 3. The bane of so many women who refuse to succumb to the pressure to take "those" pills: hot flashes! <BR> <BR>Hope you're having a great day!

Joyeux anniversaire and buon compleanno Monica. Have a good one.

Long time no talk, but couldn't resist! Happy birthday,Monica and many more happy travels.

Happy birthday, Monica! Hope your day was special in every way. <BR> <BR>Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the DC group at one of the next get-togethers.

Happy Birthday,Monica - hope you are out having a great time and aren't reading this right now!!

because she WAS partying on Saturday...

Boy, was I surprised when I saw this email!!! Someone emailed me today saying happy birthday and I wondered how she knew. Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes! I appreciate it. And I will say that I have turned 40! I will have to print this posting out and add it to all the birthday cards I received. And yes, I did party on the 21st!!! What fun. <BR> <BR>Nice to hear from you Kathy. It's been a very long time.

Oops, that should have been "posting" not "email."

Wait! Don't print yet! <BR> <BR>Happy Birthday, Monica! <BR> <BR>Now you can print.

Happy Birthday Monica! I hope it was a great one. Being 40 isn't so bad. I think they have been the best years of my life.

Happy happy B-Day Monica... many more and "may the road rise with you!" <BR>

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Been on your web site and you certainly don't look anything past 32. Many more happy years to you. Happy travels.

Thanks Terri! Now I'll have to reprint this posting.

Hi Monica,<BR><BR>you didn`t tell me about your Birthday...But:Happy Birthday to you from Oliver and me.<BR>And I`m looking forward to meet you again in Venice!<BR><BR>Miriam

Hi Miriam! Tony told me you called last week. He said he enjoyed his conversation with you. I hope to see you and Oliver in Venice in November!
