Now there's a thought-go invade the CAT United! Just a few Alpines usually go to that....

Kiss of Death?

Put us down as a definite maybe. It is a long distance and a lot of water will be flowing under the bridge between now and then.

Well, the issue is already in doubt. We are expecting a new grandchild May 22. This is a real monkey wrench in the works. For the past few years, we have wanted to make a west coast Alpine tour, visiting relatives (some of whom we have never seen) and traveling up the coast to Washington, mostly just because. The Invasion would fit into these plans very nicely.

Now??

Well, Barb has wanting to do this for several years (mostly her relatives) and time is running out for me to do this. So its becoming a now or never thing.

Tough decision coming up.

Maybe: Leisurely drive out pre-event, visit and tour, fly back for the blessed event, then fly out again to complete your tour? I'm sure a responsible West-coastie could put up the 'pine whilst you folks are back in baby land.

And by the way, congrats!

Thank you!
Good Idea, but the time frame is all out of wack. They have two other babes who will be 3 and eighteen months. So we will probably stay around a week or so to help with the new born. That keeps us in Indiana until the first of June. But we can't leave then, Barb is camp nurse at the local cub scout camp, which runs June 11 -16. We would like to take the train to California, so we would be gone over a month. Even if we flew back, we would be gone a month.

Life sure gets complex when you are retired. We'll probably have to fold.

I wish I could go this year, but I have a wedding the same weekend in San Diego. If it was any other weekend I would be there.
