News-Herald sports writer Theresa Neuhoff Audia shares memories of a trip she took with friends from John Carroll University. Theresa and four friends, who were all celebrating their 40th birthdays, spent a few glorious days in Turks and Caicos. Over the next few weeks, she will share stories from her memorable trip. An indepth article on the trip will run in The News-Herald on December 11.


When is the last time you tried to get five girlfriends together?
It's almost impossible.
Especially when the women are married, have kids, busy careers and more to juggle.
Somehow, my friends Jennifer Weitzel, Lynn (Waltz) Iannizzi, Traci (Arnold) Voss, Michelle (Lyons) O'Leary, and I agreed on a place after talking about it for months.
We decided to take a trip to Turks and Caicos this past September.
We wanted to go somewhere warm to celebrate our 40th birthdays and the destination we picked could not have been better.
It was the offseason which made it affordable. It was also warm, sunny and an overall perfect time to reconnect with old college friends from John Carroll University.
Over the next few weeks, I will be blogging about my trip.
An indepth article on the trip will run in The News-Herald on Dec. 11.
I look forward to reliving the memories.
