Your list did not include CET and Charmion, coming all the way from Canada.

We may not be core (think of us as rind), CET has already booked us into the hotel in Damvix and negotiated the hire of a car. As the winter takes its last grip on Ottawa -- still air temperature of minus 22 Celsius; minus 32 with the windchill this morning! -- we maintain our spirits by drooling over the Michelin Green Guide to the Atlantic coast of France.
