Well, you now have 3 more joining your group - My husband Wayne and I are booked! - along with his mother. I don't know whether my mother-in-law will change her mind before final payment date or not, but Wayne has agreed that we're going anyway

! Hurray! We'll get a chance to meet so many of you after all this time. This will be a great way to celebrate my upcoming retirement (less than 6 weeks away) and Wayne's 60th birthday just before we leave in February.
It's a good thing we have lots of time before leaving, because I've got some research to do for flights. As a starting point, it will be $1,200 each for the round trip. Here's hoping some seat sales come up

Any suggestions for hotels would be appreciated.
