Hi Mickey,
We were actually planning to be there as my Dad's side of the family is having a reunion in Battle Ground, WA on the 20th, but we had to cancel...
Pam's input is interesting... I personally can't speak to it. I was in remission when we moved down here... this flared up about eight months into our stay. I do know I am much more achy when it rains here. And actually both visits up north have left me in worse shape upon returning home, but that may have just been from traveling.
