Well, I would love to come to Findlay again, but I'm one of those squeaky mouse-type people who is not too keen on being outdoors in the cold (probably why I own cats rather than dogs, LOL). And like lovemyshiba, I worry about bringing Sammy in the car on such a long trip. Now that he's grown up, he is really miserable in the car, complaining a lot and sometimes upchucking or leaving "gifts" on the floormats, and that's only during a 3-hour drive to our cottage. I wish there was a good carsickness remedy out there for cats (Dramamine doesn't work).

As far as dates, I can work around whatever is best for the group, as long as I have about 2 or 3 weeks notice.
