"Good group - always an interesting travel story to be heard in this circle - the kind you'd hear near the fireplace at a hostel. I look forward to the member travelogues at the monthly meeting. Excited about the new directions this group is headed this year with new outfitters, new destinations, and the tried and true trips."

I was in Ecuador (Galapagos Islands) and Peru (Inca Trail and Machu Pichu) in December. I could do a presentation at one of the meetings. February would probably be better than later ones, since I don't have good visibility to my travel schedule. You can contact me a AStubkjaer@comc ast.net

Hi Francis.thanks for the note about the ski weekend. I followed the instructions and marked "no" as a way of putting myself on the wait list. I then went ahead and paid for my spot via pay pal (I have the receipt) so I"d be front of the que as was suggested. If a spot has opened up, can you please let me know how to move myself into it? Many thanks, Lisa

Hi Francis:
It was good to meet you and share our row with you at the movie. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk later, but it's hard with sooo many people. Hope to see you at other events. -
Hi Francis, Welcome! We have a lot of Chicagoans and quite a few Waukegan-ans (is that a word?), but one thing in common--we like to play. Come join us.
