Thanks to Dave Cushman and others for the plug! I, just for fun, went through the google.com sites for cheap tickets to Ireland. The price range is remarkable. I can go from California to Dublin for under 1000.00 round trip! Got confirmation today, and I hope I'll see some of you there. I'm also planning on taking my 14 year old son, who does much of the grunt work with my little bee business. Very best regards from a warm (but dry :-( ) California Central Coast. Tim Vaughan
