Greetings All!

Throughout several of these postings, many of us have made references to meeting in person. So with that in mind, I guess what I'm looking for is a suggestion, vote, or opinion of who would be interested, and where this could possibly take place. The following places have been thrown on the proverbial table:

~~~~Las Vegas

~~~~Texas (somewhere near the CSN call center so Jose and Greta can join us!

~~~~Indianapolis, Indiana, as is seems to be smack dab in the heart of the midwest.

So, when you can, if you're interested, drop a note of interest or another suggestion of where to plan this reunion.

Thanks,

Stacy

  • Stacey, I think that would be a wonderful idea...although I might not be able to make it...but then again, it all depends what, where, and when. I vote for Las Vegas....maybe it's because I can drive there in about 4 hours :o) Nah!!!! It's because I know that I would most likely get Bert to go...he loves that town!

    Hugs,
    Monika

    Stacy,

    I will go where ever anyone want to go. Give me some notice for airline tickets. I live in San Antonio, Texas and all my family is fron Austin so naturally that would be the best for me - BUT, Las Vegas sounds like fun, Indy is also good. I am game - if you need help in planning I am familiar with all places and have some contacts so just let me know (email me).

    Fondly,

    Kerry (and looking forward to meeting each and every one of you)

    Although I am new to this group, my wife and I would love to get together and meet all the wonderful people on this site. We would go anywhere, although Vegas is our favorite get-away! When were you thinking of doing this (gotta give grandma and grandpa a heads-up to watch the boys)?

    Wow, Stacey, Great idea, and looks like there might be enough interest to work on a plan! Never been to Vegas, but liked all the other parts of the West that I've visited. Hubby and I would be interested; it would be great to meet others....and no late night steak dinners this time! Hope time and place can be set. After the school year (late June) would be best for us!!! Sounds like all is continuing to be well with you. Regards, Judy

    Hey Baby Let's Go To Vegas!!! and no I am not Faith Hill. Also I was never in any mens bathrooms in Vegas. We also would like to go but timing will be everything. Yesterday we sold our house and starting a new one early June.

    I feel like Stacy is Ms Frizzle and were all going on The Magic School Bus for a field trip to Vegas. Should Be Very Interesting!!!!!!!

    Have A Great Day Everyone,
    Lisa

    Hey Guys!

    Vegas is looking like the destination. How does the third week in July work for everyone? July 20th is a Monday. Looking for maybe a Thursday through Sunday? In the middle of the week? Again, let's base it on "majority rules"...

    I would suggest nobody book anything regarding airlines until we get a definite plan in action. I will be contacting a few of the hotels out there to get rooms at drastically reduced rates, possibly free even (no, NOT a Motel 6!).

    I'll be able to let you all know more once we nail down some dates.

    Thanks!

    3rd week in July works for me! Actually, I think July 20 is a Tuesday. Let's try for a good hotel - during the summer they give great rates. Let me know if you need help, my daughter got married at Caesars's Palace and our luxury condo room was compted. Maybe they will remember us!!

    Thanks Stacy for thinking of putting this together. What about SpongeBob???

    Hi Kerry...

    I'm e-mailing SpongeBob to see if he'll be able to swing the reunion. I'm hoping he can, as that will totally make the trip!

    I'll let you know...

    Do I hear a collective sigh of relief in the room when I say I cannot make it?? haha! :-O No nutrition police will be raining on your parade! heehee

    We will packing up and moving around that time so count me out. Plus we will have just returned from our vacation on the coast of SC. A little island...big beaches.....relaxing next to the ocean....a cook! (that's the BEST part of it!)

    So y'all have fun and just know that I would have loved to meet everyone.

    Take pictures!

    peace, emily who'd rather paddle the Boundary Waters than pull the slots! :-)

    EMILY!

    We were counting on you to come to mix our drinks of blueberries and vodka! Seriously, though, you're a staple on this site who always brings another spin on things, and that is priceless...if your plans change, we will find you and drag you with us!

    Congrats on your new arrival Jose! Actually, your WIFE would probably benefit from a little vacation after that! Best wishes for a smooth delivery and healthy new addition to the Gomez family!
