Welcome to the forum. Sorry for your lost but also appreciate that you are still looking forward to finding the road map for the next of life's journeys. And if you admit to being a lurker, then you have had ample warning of what to expect here!
Do try to make your way to a gtg near (or far) from you. ANd check out the members map (listings are all volunteer so speak up if you want to be included) If you are traveling through an area anyway it is a wonderful way to create your own mini gtg even if it is only for a lunch or dinner next to the highway as you blow through......
