Re: Roundtrip, round trip, round-trip?

[Odile Sullivan-Tarazi <odile -at- mindspring -dot- com>]

lol . . .  this is very much what I'd like to do.  It just seems to

But I thought I should double-check with others in similar contexts, 
to see what they're doing with the term.

Thanks for the input,

Odile
