    3. Dear Cuz's, Just to set the record straight. Joan is not the only one that asked about the time at the Bron Fadoc. Her's happens to be the only one that went to the group the others came to me personally. So I don't want Joan to think I was slamming at her. I am not. Mayor Phillip and I and several others in Wales have been sending a GAZILLION e-mails back an forth trying to make you guys the Best Trip possible. I have gone out of my way trying to get responses from you guys on issues I feel you will have a problem with. I have called several of you to ask your opinion or if you had a problem with certain things to the point that I am sure Alice Neff will probably not answer my next phone call. [Just want to be sure your group is handled, Alice truly!!] At this point, I wish we could all just be happy with the trip. I am working on the length of times at the cemetery's. I believe that Mayor Phillip has already scoped out the area's where there will be graves from our time frame, if any at all. but I am working on that.... As far as the Bron Fadoc, sorry guys but I can't see where we would be spending more time than that other than to just stand around looking at the building and dreaming about his time... and if we need to do that..then we push back the Ruthin Prison or Cancel it even though that is the only way I am going to get to see it. and take less of a break before dinner etc. I need to know what you guys want.

    3. Well, I have been perusing the itinerary some more. I plan to have a Crème de Menthe Bombe for dessert at the Cherry Pie Inn! Some time later, having perused much more of the itinerary, I have another question. Can we get into the church where Dr Thomas and his family was baptized at 7 pm and how can we see anything in the cemetery at that hour - presumably, like it is here, it will be rather darkish? The itinerary itself is beginning to grow on me. We will be seeing quite a number of historical places in Wales, and not just those directly related to the Wynne family. And I would suggest that those going to Wales, if they haven't done so already, check out the links given with the itinerary. Among other things, you will find pictures of Mayor Philip, our host. Thanks for explaining about Bron Fadoc and the gaol - that's all I needed. Also a question, which may already have been discussed. Do we need to budget for the entrance fees at gaols, castles, botanical gardens, etc.? And if so, what would be an overall rough estimate of that amount? Back to the drawing board I guess for clothing to wear - the receptions all seem to be connected to our daytime activities so would be less formal than I had originally thought. Wow, only three more weeks. Maybe enough time to recover from the last days of the tax season and the long hourse necessary to close down the office. See some of you soon. JoanII

    3. Joan thinks like me! I picked out dessert at the Cherry Pie Inn too, and have also been wondering about money. But being unemployed for 10 months makes a person think about money alot. :) What do you think would be a good amount to withdrawl when we get to Manchester?

    3. Dear Cousins, For me, I don't see any room, for any one that is going to Wales, to complain about anything on the itinerary. Becky was the one invited over to Wales in the first place a couple of years back. She has bent over backwards for us to go with her as our WGS group. I know her and Mayor Phillip have worked very hard on making this trip a trip of a lifetime for us. There are some of us getting to go that this is a TRIP OF A LIFETIME, so no matter how long of time we are at a certain place or where we go, we should enjoy every minute of it. I know I will. I thank Becky for including us. I appreciate her hard work and making this possible for all of us. Love Joyce Gail -----Original Message----- From: The Thill Group, Inc.

    3. Becky, I haven't looked at the web page & will but I haven't worried about the time, when, or why we are doing these things. Just planning on being there & a part of the group, seeing what I can, doing what I can, & being glad I could finally make it to Wales.

    3. Dear Cuz Betty, Thank you as always your a trouper... In the Itinerary e-mail I just sent I suggest that Cada Grove, Dick and Bob Quigley ride to Hawarden in time to meet and follow the bus.. or go straight to Mold and meet us... Then all the girls are on the Bus and the boys can hang together..=) Put your two cents in if Dick isn't game.
