after similar thoughts had been posted by Cory, Cotty, Tanja, Bill O. ... and I have a horrible suspicion I'm going to forget somebody ... Thanks all, I do appreciate your kindness. I was pretty concise about it last night when I posted, because I wasn't sure to what extent y'all would want to know all about my family, and I was also feeling rather emotional about giving up the trip and didn't feel comfortable about ranting on and on, which I might do because of feeling so strongly about it. Anyway, I know it's the right thing for me to do, and at least my children, who were very excited about visiting an actual mountain as well as the other parts of the road trip we'd planning, are even more excited about the new plan (first overseas trip for them).
