    So Carol, since you've had the real deal ... you can let us know if indeed it is as good as the reviews say!

    I don't think there will ever be a tomato that lives up to those on Santorini, but I hope the rest of the food is as divine as the menu sounds!

    OK Ladies, I just firmed things up with Barbara at St. John the Divine. Since we are a large group they decided to give us a "Private Tour" so the time has been changed to 2:30 PM. This means those of you on the Wait List can attend the original 1:00 PM tour if you'd like & then join us afterwards for dinner. There is plenty to see at this Catheral! Please update your RSVP & let me know if you will be doing dinner. I need to get a head count for the restaurant. Thanks everyone!

    Remember no response means not coming :) Please amend the RSVP to show your answers. Just click on "change your RSVP" and add text in the RSVP comment box. It is hard to keep track any other way. Thanks.

    Great! That one looks so cool! I really want to do that tour too but I hurt my back so I can't do so much climbing. You'll have to let me know how it is.

    The final head count for the tour is 21. The final head count for dinner is 22. For the four Ladies who have not responded, if you would like to attend dinner I MUST KNOW by 4 PM TODAY! The restaurant only takes MasterCard or Visa but try to have CASH since it will be easier with a large group.

    Posted February 17 at 11:45 AM
  • A former member

    Payment for the tour can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or Cash at the Visitors Center. Let Barbara know you are with the ladies of MEET UP. Please arrive about 15 minutes early to make payment. The tour begins PROMPTLY at 2:30 PM! Thanks! See you all Saturday!
