I will be leaving soon for my trip. I will try to post, but I may not be able.
For those who are interested in keeping up with this information, I will give you the link to the website. If any are interested in posting that info her, please feel welcome. I know that some of you do not post here very often, so I have no idea how many are following this forum. If there is no one interested, I could just drop it altogether...
