Sounds like a wonderful idea, but Halifax in November??? For those of us in
the west, we would have to get to Montreal maybe stay overnight and what
about the return? Fly all the way from Halifax? Also the costs - nothing on
the website about this. I would still love to go but definitely need more
info. Joan Reichardt.----- Original Message -----
