Good morning, Jeremy,
This sounds like a fantastic trip! Bob and I are interested in joining your group. Please keep us posted.
Hi Pearl,
Will do! So far I have 3-4 couples that have expressed interest, but one can’t go until later, another has a very sick old dog, a third has money worries, etc. So it seems unlikely that it can happen in May. But I will keep trying to collect people who want to go…
Best,
Jeremy
