Ok...time to get a count of who might like to get away in Februrary WITHOUT their kids and spouses!!!!!!!!!!!! We seem to be thinking either Vegas again or a cruise of about 4 days for under 500 apiece. No point in spinning our wheels like we did last year over Vegas for months.
If you think you can go....have no problem with dates....etc......then put your hat in the ring now...and then we will work on times that work best for all...and take a vote on where to go.
FYI....I might or might not take Em along...since she IS an adult....but if we cruise I would prefer Galveston as a port as it is only 20 miles from Houston where she works.....of course if Vegas is the choice....its a GIVEN she will go...LOL I think we need a group of 10 or 12 to really plan an event.

Well, I want to go. It depends on WHEN in Feb... Feb MIGHT be pushing it for me.. would have to be more like... going into March, EOFeb type of thing... I REALLY would love the cruise thing.. but the flights are what is going to kill it for me.... I just don't know.... So.. I guess I have to stay undecided... A.

OK...I am just ill....typed a LONG post and lost the darned thing! So...the short version of it was; I would absolutely love to get together with everyone but at the moment am in over my head planning this first ever trip to Disney World in December. Mucho bucks involved and I am scared to committ too much more money today. I know I could swing the cruise funds...but the cruise and the airfare, I'm just not sure. I am out of frequent flyer miles. Jackie, it looks like all the Feb dates for the Splendor of the Seas out of Galveston are for 2006. I could drive anywhere in Florida and it would be doable. MB....where do you live? Are you in Texas, too? I am gonna just throw this out there....cause its close to me and cheap . My neighbor owns a condo in Surf side beach (just south of Myrtle Beach, SC) and it is really nice and can sleep 10-12 people. Has a full kitchen and great big common room. He has mentioned to me several times that he is not renting it out for the winter and would let me use it. If I did, would probably want to give him a nominal amount to cover electricity, linens, maid service. Now, it sure wouldn't be beach weather there in February but there are lots of fun things to do, shopping, shows, restaurants, etc. Here's the condo and some links of the area. www.dunes.com/rental/house.html?PMSID=SUMMIT2 www.palacetheatremyrtlebeach.com/coming_attractions_01.htm www.broadwayatthebeach.com/www.dunes.com/grandstrand/attractions.html Of course, if you ladies choose to do Disney....I dream of doing it without kids in tow, let me know and I would buy an annual pass for myself And lets see, there's always.... Biltmore House in Ashville, NC Gatlinburg, NC - they have a Harrahs close by for gambling. Charleston, SC Savannah, GA Never been to D.C.? I will check our local airport, we have a new, independent carrier that is supposed to be adding new, cheaper, direct flights to some more cities in 2005. Anyway....can you believe thats the short version? So, I'm not counting myself out yet....but you guys keep thinking, discussing, etc...and if there is a way I can make it....I'll be there with bells on.

While we're dreaming, I will throw this cruise out there. I heard about it when I went to see this Christian comediene, Anita Renfroe (she is hilarious). It is an all women cruise in Feb. out of Port Canaveral to the Bahamas. It is a Christian oriented cruise....so I don't mean to offend anyone or turn anyone off. But its called Sisters at Sea and sounds like a great time. Jackie, LOL, I wonder if that means no gambling at sea?! Of course, there are casinos in Nassau. www.anitarenfroe.com/documents/SistersatSea.pdf www.anitarenfroe.com/

No offence Tricia...sounds nice...but Nassau is the one place I DONT want to go...there is nothing to do there...except go to Atlantis which is overhyped. If everyone else wants to go thats fine....I have no problem....we have lots going already for the Spring....I guess when I posted Galveston...I was just thinking of Em...who is on a tight budget with both her time and money....and you are right...for some reason RC is pulling out of the Galveston market until 2006...so it would have to be on some other line....I was just grasping at straws when I pulled that one up.

Well, I have to say I had intended to post prior to this but really forgot about it all with xmas and all.
I would really LOVE a mom's only getaway really. But I HAVE to wait until after the beginning of the year to even think of picking a date. Sooooo maybe we could all catch up after the new year and tax return time LOL (you know $$ for some of us!) and think of a good time and place and see if that works out for us!
How's that for an idea?

We will go out of Galveston and will spend the night before in Seabrook where we will get a day with Emily. I am soooo excited...and to top it all off we got an AFT balcony which is supposed to be the best!!!!....so......maybe we need to reschedule this trip to later in the Spring...... Jackie
