It's taken me a while to decide and I'm still a little hesitant - however we have reserved Tomric in Buffalo for May 19, 20 and 21 so I guess I should get over it and start planning.

 

At least for me it's not going to be the same as previous years as I am still not prepared to go unmasked inside with a bunch of people - so any meals I'll be eating with the group will have to be outside and I'm not sure how we can organize that - but it's something to work on. May can be warm or cold as we have learned in previous years in Niagara. 

 

I'm going to start with a head count before I start looking at hotel reservations. 

 

And perhaps suggestions of what topics we might want to consider. I'm not going to be able to bring my entire chocolate room with me as I have in the past in Niagara because I'll have to come across the border but Tomric is pretty well equipped and their new learning center is a joy to behold. 

 

No idea what cost will be this time around - things have gone up so much since our last kick at the cat. 

 

So let's start with a head count and start planning from there.

Wonderful news.  I'm not coming, of course, but I'm so pleased that you are planning to go back to these get-togethers.

Assumption correct! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can host a gathering on my patio (I am also eschewing indoor dining). Looking forward to it!

I’ve always wanted to go, but never could make it happen. Biggest problem is finding someone to feed the cats. When more plans are put together, I’m gonna see if I can do it.

I’m in. Maddie is a maybe. That is right before the end of the school year, so she will need to find out her finals schedule first.

I'm so sorry to miss the return. I hadn't heard any plans so assumed it wasn't happening this year. Already made trip plans. Will miss seeing everyone again. 

 

Real sad I won't be seeing you and Nancy this year! 😢

I'm in discussion with the Marriott - apparently it's a rather busy weekend with graduations and some sort of sporting event in Rochester. So we won't be getting the rate we had last time and they are looking at other properties than the Canalside to find a better rate. 

 

I'll let you know when I know.
