Please add Pat and Mike - Suite 729 (E) to the roll call.

We're flying into SFO on May 7th, heading up to the Sonoma Valley. We'd like to schedule a relaxed "someone else drive" wine tasting tour on Wednesday, May 8th, in either Sonoma or Napa or a combination of both. Anyone else interested? We'll have a rental car and a reservation in Petaluma at the Sheraton, cancelable without penalty. We’d consider other hotels or, although not B&B types, that option as well, if someone had a big urge and good info on a reasonable, good one. We will return to San Francisco May 9, staying at the Fairmont. Post indicators of interest here or e-mail to count_florida@hotmail.com. Whatever comes of this, we look forward to seeing everyone on board.

Incidentially, after the cruise we’re taking a Rocky Mountaineer train/tour from Vancouver to Calgary via Kamloops, Banff and Lake Louise. Anyone else doing that? After Regent, I thought I’d better keep herself in a style to which I’d like to become accustomed, so we went GoldLeaf. As Ngaire and group don’t do everything (yet), we had to book this locally, and the lovely young lass here got us upgraded to Fairmont hotels all the way. Very nice.

Happy New Year, ya’ll
