I def. want to be in on considerin'/choosin' a place but not quite sure when/if I'd be able to go. A wkend trip (or even a Sat, Sun, Mon. trip) would work best for me.

I'd kinda like to suggest 2 places.....
1.) Albq., NM - Oct/Nov (gotta find out more dates) The Arabian Horse Nationals will be there. I know not everyone is a horse fan but last yr. it was the same wkend as a cat show/art show (and all on the same grounds)! Anyone heard from Cougie Wechsler lately? She might have more info???

2.) Amy (Wolf_Q) and I have been discussing flying together to Ohio. Not sure what dates might work out yet.

I *might* be up for the LA, CA trip. Never been to Cali before -- Miz Gini are you & Rascal up for bein' a tour guide? lol
