Sold Out - Seriously?

I thought the sold out indicator on the 2012 journey would "go away" once the 2011 trip had departed.  Well apparently I thought wrong!  The 2012 trip is sold out and they already have the dates posted for the 2013 trip.  What the heck is going on with that!  I can't believe it's actually sold out this early.  Maybe it's gaining in popularity for some reason.  Oh well - we can always plan on 2013 if necessary.  I've been very neglectful in posting but I really need to change that but I don't want to just ramble.  Wait until I tell Kathryn 2012 is sold out.  She's not going to believe it!
