    I think our brother-in-law Doug Hill has told you that we are interested in the trip to Transylvania. Karen is Donna’s sister. We met you when Donna asked us to picked up a cimbalon for the Hungarian Museum in Hungarian Settlement, LA We are excited about being on the tour. This will only be Karen’s and my second trip out of the U.S (France – 5 years ago). We can’t wait!

      Hi Emily!
      We don’t have it on the schedule for 2024, but we are considering it for 2025. We usually only do a tour to Transylvania every other year.
