Anyone else ready for another FOF trip??

I'm just wondering if anyone else is itching to get our group together again yet. It's been a year since the last one, and we've been allowing about a year to plan for them, so I'm thinking we should start a conversation about it soon, if anyone's interested. I don't know if Phyllis will be available in December when she returns from Iraq, but I think it would be so cool to have a welcome back party for her with us all together. If we did that, we'd have to take winter weather into consideration and probably her location. Johnny is not likely to want her to go far away again anytime soon.


If we want to do a general trip, people could start throwing out ideas for times of the year and locations.


Who's brave enough to start?? :-)

I have an idea......how about we each list 5 possible destinations we would like to visit/meet. Give it about a week or so to get as many response as we can. Tally the responses and see what ones are mentioned more then once. Then take those places and put them in a hat and let Patty draw one out. I guess list possible dates too. What do you think?

Our first trip a few years ago was to Asheville, NC, to see the autumn leaves and Biltmore Estate and winery. The last one was in

Bill and I were discussing this just this morning and I said how we were talking on the board about another trip! He suggested Chicago as a midway point, great city, plenty to see, big airport making flying in and out fairly easy. But Chicago is not the place to be in February. That would be more of a September/October kind of trip. If we want to do end of January to February then CA is always a good option but then so is Florida..........east coast (West Palm Beach/Fort Lauderdale), west coast (Tampa/Fort Meyers) or middle (Orlando). Lots of options there plus can you picture us taking the day and going to Disney world???? But the beach is so tranquil and relaxing. There you go, more from this peanut gallery.
