Hello everyone -
Yes, I am finally feeling better, but I must say that I have never been so thoroughly reamed out. Would have been a great time to have had my overdue colonoscopy! Cooking shows were absolute torture!

THANKS for all the new hostesses coming forward. Am making this new thread as the other travel schedule thread was getting crowded.
Laurie reports that the traveling twosome are safely at her home in Ohio. Glad it is not tornado season there.

This one now includes the latest dates for Sassy and Joanne S. Let me know if these dates work in your schedules.

PINK GIRL - since Michigan is not that far from you in Canada, would after Joanne S be a good time for you to see Tiptoe again and meet Tex?

2. Feb 15 - from Marlys to LAURIE(Ohio - for her end of treatment party)
3. End Feb to 10 March - Laurie to JONES (Mich.)
4. Mid March to 25 Mar - Jones to LILY (N. Carolina) - might as well keep them through Easter
5. Early to Mid April - Lily to STEPHN (Washington)
6. Mid April - early May - StephN to MARY ANNE in TX
7. Early to mid May - Mary Anne to HAZELJOYCE (Mass. - for her end of treatment shindig on May 15th)
8. End of May to June 1st - Hazeljoyce to SASSY (Virginia)
9. Early to mid June - Sassy to JOANNE S (Michigan)
