After several weeks of planning, it's all coming together nicely. Back along, I realised that my arm is not going to be all that I had hoped before I leave and also my problems with my epilepsy post surgery haven't exactly died down, so I took the decision to ask my friend Karen to come to the States with me this time. Happily, she agreed :o)

So, our flights are booked and we leave London for New York on 22cnd August. We'll be spending some time in Manhattan before heading up to Niagara Falls then back to JFK before we head over to Pennsylvania for Goldstock at Camp Weequahic. From there we'll head back to NYC before heading up to Detroit for the IAADP half yearly Board Meeting. It will be wonderful to see so many of my American friends again, I'm really looking forward to the trip.

The past couple of weeks have seen some celebrations, Caesar celebrated his 7th birthday, and as always was delightful to watch as he very carefully unwrapped and investigated all his presents, and I have accepted the offer of an appointment to DPTAC.
