It wasn't so much the destinations we visited....but the fun we had getting there! Most importantly, it was the people who made the ride such a memorable one!
As we once again take on the jobs of making our own beds, putting our own napkins on our laps and preparing our own food (Wow! We're going to be busy!!) we'll be remembering the good times we've had with all of you! Hope it won't be many moons before we're making more fabulous memories with all of you!!
