Post Trip Party
Thanks to Charles & Mary for hosting the post trip party.

Trip CDs
See Bruce if you didn't get one.

Mary's creation. See if you can find your picture.
Thanks go to Ron, BL, Phyllis, Bruce, Jim, Marsha, Lou B, Terry E, and Lisa for contributing pictures to this page. Unfortunately I somehow lost Terri C's pictures and couldn't open Helen's CD but they both tried to contribute. Counldn't open Ron's DVD or more of his pictures would have been used. These trips are always hectic and one doesn't realize how much fun they really had until they are home and can relax and look back on their recent adventure. Hope these pictures helped in reliving the adventure. If you missed it, hopefully there will be a next time
