Thanks, June, I'm also glad it was at the end of my trip. The first one

who got sick left early with her husband, but a lot of people got sick

before the trip was over. The friend I went with didn't get sick; in

fact, she never gets sick and doesn't have much sympathy for those who

do.

It was a wonderful trip.

Sue,

Sorry you got sick on your trip. I am glad your home, so you can take

care of yourself, and rest up. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids.

When you feel better, I hope you share the sights with us, take care,

Tawny

That sounds awful, Sue. At least most of your trip was very good. Welcome

back!

Hope you are feeling much better today.

Too bad such a fabulous trip had to end that way, hope you feel better

soon. I'd love to hear more about your trip, I'm heading out to

Yellowstone and Glacier in July. One of my favorite areas of the

country. We're going on our own, just four of us looking for good

photo ops. I hope I have the stamina to keep up with the others, even

though they've promised to take it easy for me.
