Thanks, everyone. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond.
Well, I have debated on whether or not to post a trip report, because although it started off well, it did not finish well. Plus, I've had much to deal with since returning from my trip, not even including the holidays. I started the trip report, and I'm not sure how long it will take me to get done. So, here's the link if you want to know how it all turned out. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Trip Report. Started off, great, and ended not so magical.
