Subject: Deadline for the Santa Fe and Taos trip is Aug. 3

 

We just completed our Discover the Coast of Maine trip and had a great
group. Even though the weather was soggy, I was able to rearrange our
schedule to get all three boating excursions in. We even saw fin back and
minkie whales on our whale watch.

Our deadline for the Santa Fe and Taos trip is this Sunday, August 3rd. We
need a few more people to round out our group, so if you are interested
please reply to this email and let me know. September is a wonderful time to
go to the Southwest, warm days and cool nights.
