Have you started packing yet? I'm hoping I won't have to dip into your supply of Immodium on this trip! I'm bringing along an extra duffle bag that I can check going home. It cost me a fortune in extra weight going home from Cape May plus I had to open my bags at the check in and take out all of those books I bought, and put them in my carry-on back pack. I'm not buying ANY book on this trip!

My word verification is "ferlinta"
Isn't that a kind of pasta?

Ok, this is weird. Your whole 'name the duck' post has disappeared. I refreshed and it's still gone....hmmm.

Sorry I'm not a birder and won't be at NR but I really hope y'all have a lot of fun!

Lynne: I have a stack of birding T-shirts laid out on the guest bed, but that is as far as I have gotten so far. Forget the Immodium - bring Dramamine! Those twisty, windy roads gave me BAD motion sickness!

Holly: Post is back up - I was editing it with the answer. Loved your guess, BTW!

I just came back and it's back again - agh! you're messing with my head!!!

Well, I wanted to contribute and all I could do was name the ducks since I couldn't ID them!

My husband Dick is coming too, so Tim won't feel so overwhelmed with femininity.

Man o man, I really wanted to make it this year but it's not to be. Have a wonderful time!!
