I won't be able to go in January. My employer, a government contractor that employs at least 100,000 people, made 2,700 of us alluse vacation time during the government shutdown, so I can't spare leave to go. I had planned to come to the meetings, anyway, to learn about Ecquador and to learn general tips about traveling, but I've had to miss most of them. Perhaps I'll get in on the next trip, if there's another one.
Thanks for organizing all of it, Kathie. Very good idea.
Bon voyage to all who are going in January!
