I'm considering going. I hate travel and have never travelled far. Or alone. Love my pleasant mornings and breakfasts far too much. I've solved my biggest problem though - one of my daughters will take my dog while I'm gone. She's hard to board, minimally jabbed and unspayed and epicurean and all. Your being there would be a big plus. Please let me know...

I'd love to hear the brother in law story. And you'll be going for three weeks? I'm looking at a mere one week.
