Diane will indeed be going to Asilomar. As, indeed, will I.
(Here's hoping I'm good enough by the time I go there.)

Well, let us know here on the boards and we'll make arrangements to meet up in Monterey!

(Tell me that the trip isn't in July, pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase!)

Diane and I are hoping to visit BC at some point, but we don't know when.
She has some family out there and some sort of connections with a gold mine it a place called Atiln.
From all she's shown me it looks like a beautiful place, so I've been begging to take a trip up there for years.

A nice visit with fellow kilties in the area would be fantastic!

It should be a fun time.

Well when you do Arlen you both need to hop across the border to my neck of the woods (Bellingham). Chuckanut Drive is considered one of the most scenic routes on the westcoast!

Arlen,

There is nothing like being inthe arms of the one you love after a long period apart. Congrats on getting over the pond and I hope Idaho is all that you'd hoped for. See ya n a few months when you make it out to California.

I won't argue with that. I love Chuckanut drive.

All the best of Good Luck to you Arlen and to more years of great happiness with Diane than you can possibly imagine. I know you will be coming 'home' from time to time, and I hope to meet up with you on one of those trips - maybe next June!

Take care,
Ham.
