ReplyDeleteSee you at RWA in New York!
ReplyDeleteno, don't think so
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely got a full plate. I'm not going anywhere but have fun on your travels.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a full schedule ahead but a fun one!!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is thinking about a destination wedding and it might happen soon.
ReplyDeleteBusy lady!! I'll see you at Barbara Vey's in Milwaukee and probably at BWI airport too!
ReplyDeleteMy only plan is a cruise to Canada.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to catch up in Milwaukee! I'll be at the Heart of Dixie Lunch in Huntsville, June 13, RWA in July and Lorraine Heath's Buns and Roses Tea for Literacy in Dallas October 4th. No RT this year--my oldest graduates from college!!
ReplyDeleteI will be going to the RT Convention in Dallas. I really look forward to it. After that, we will be going on vacation in the Southwest.
ReplyDeleteHope to go to Canada

In April I am going up the coast to visit my mother. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to travel and see my sister for her Birthday & also for celebrating Easter together :D
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have anything planned at the moment. However, it seems like you've got a very full, and exciting, few months ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteIn May I'll go to Virginia for a family Christening and we hope to get to the SC beach in August - lots of driving!
ReplyDeleteI'm very envious of your conference schedule. Hopefully next year I can tag along with you to one!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun traveling on your agenda. We just returned from our two week trip to central Florida. Not sure where we are going next but I am sure we will think of something.
ReplyDeleteYes, Fla very soon and Savannah and SC in the spring.

Your going to RWA?! I have been debating over going...I just can't seem to pull the trigger but I think it would be a great venue to meet people.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of you! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with all of those book lovers/writers!
Good luck to your son in his freshman year of college!
I've got no travel plans at the moment but it sounds like you will be busy traveling to all the fun conferences!
ReplyDeleteWow, your travel schedule looks like a lot of fun! Nothing as exciting for me, probably going to be a "stay-cation" in the near future.
