Congratulations on getting into the Natchez Trace tour! I'd love to bike the trace someday, too. And WomanTours is such a responsible company. Their ride leaders are the best. Plus, a week of cycling with a bunch of other women--how can you beat it? Did you tell them you're celebrating your big birthday with this tour? I think you should--they like to make a big deal about anything like that.

Now, here's your mission (should you choose to accept it LOL): We (or at least, I) will want a full report of the experience when you get home. On my last tour, I kept a little journal (a little pocket Moleskine notebook works great) and wrote in it every day about where we went and what we did. I also tucked in things like ferry tickets and other memorabilia and left some pages blank and pasted in photos when I got home. Finishing up my little "scrapbook" extended the experience for me, and now I have a nice little memento of the trip to page through whenever I need inspiration. See the electronic version here on my blog.

Mostly, though, have a glorious time!!!
