trip planning

I had lunch with the baby sister today and we made firm plans for the trip we are taking for the middle sister's 50th birthday next month. We are keeping the destination a surprise for now so though the birthday girl knows she is going somewhere, she does not yet know where.
The baby sister is working on a folder for the trip in tribute to the Italy folders the middle sister presented to us at this time last year.
Most all of the reservations are now made.  We have settled on a route, a departure time, and most of the itinerary. If the trip is as much fun as we've had planning it then we are going to have a ball.
