Daydreaming and getting in the mood

I found this web cam that pans across the Danube at Budapest.  You can watch the boat traffic and dream about being on one of those boats twelve weeks and two days from now!

Who are we?

So who are these people you'll be traveling with in October?

There are forty of us in the group.  We range in age from 23 - 90, with an average age of 69 years.

Some other fun facts about us:

  • One third of the group are members of Christ Episcopal Church, two thirds are not
  • 40% of the group have traveled with us before
  • Two members of the group share a birthday (although not the same year), while three others share another birthday (also different years)
  • For the first time, in all of our trips over the past four years, no one will be celebrating a birthday during the trip
  • We come from 19 different towns in New Jersey, plus three out-of-state (two from South Carolina, one from Pennsylvania)
  • We are predominantly female (28 women, 12 men)
  • We're all looking forward to a great time!
and away we go!
