NEW! 2008 Shrinkin' Vi's Trip Planning Thread!!
Well ladies, it does my heart good to see everyone having fun on the 'ol trip planning thread again! Yay! I am DEFINITELY going!! Count me in! I need a roomie!!! I am a NONSMOKER, SNORE-ER (I think) who will indulge in talking, drinking, talking, slots, talking, spa treatments (the more, the better!), eating, aqua-aerobics in the pool (oh yeah, baby, I'm still teachin' it!), maybe Graceland (have already done that & once was enough but maybe again w/the Vi's... it's kinda creepy + all those die-hard Elvis fans take it all way too seriously, especially when you get to the end & the graves & they're all crying & everything... but it is Americana), did I mention talking & drinking?... Oh man, I missed my chance to "sleep w/a lesbian!" That darn Judy! Couldn't we SHARE the lesbian, Judy?? :smile:

Are you kidding me?? You took what I wrote the COMPLETELY wrong way!! I was not writing it to JUST YOU! Have you really not gotten to "know" me over the past year? Am I routinely rude?? I was so stunned by what YOU wrote, Tracy, that I actually got light-headed & thought I was going to pass out! Wow! How did this get to this point?? It's ridiculous!

No... it is not safe to assume any such thing. I suggest not worrying about other people's "votes"... just your own. Make your decision for YOU.

You all are *NOT* going to believe this!! It's a 3-way TIE!!! 3 votes for Spash Mtn. 3 votes for the $250 deals 3 votes for Tunica Only 1 person didn't vote... so do we make her the tie-breaker, or is someone not "married" to their vote & want to change it?? WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT???????

Tracy, I think I posted some over on the other thread... or you can click on the link in the other thread (it's in Ms. Jen's post on page 3 (I think) & check it out yourself. Also, keep in mind that we've discovered that the actual price may be more than $250 if we go w/a nicer hotel... Laura's Tunica idea is sounding appealing because she can get us comp (= FREE) rooms/suites!! She's a high roller, baby!!!

My MIL e-mailed me this funny... A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" The husband said, "Oh my Goodness! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?'' "Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get the hell out." tickled my funny bone for some reason...

"I might be wrong, but when I got to the end of looking, it said since I was booking as a single, that I had to pay full price for the hotel room. that boosted it up into the 3-4 hundred dollar range. And more if we wanted to upscale the hotel. Granted, still a good price.." -- Judy I just spent the past 1/2 hour clicking away on the $250 deals & it seems that Judy is right... if you want higher than a 3-star hotel or a "resort", then the price is going to be higher... I know price is an issue for some folks & not for others, so just wanted to make that clear...

TGIF Vi's!~~ Yay, Pam, on making good choices!! See?? You CAN do it! & the scale rewarded you!! TracyK... I agree w/you EXCEPT that, when I haven't had the "real" thing in awhile, then the low-fat ice cream is actually ok & does the job! Weird, I know, but... whatever works! :eek: Terri... On this journey we all ebb & flow... give & take... don't fret about having some "take" time... it's all good! Judy... I'll have to go back & check my records to see if you voted or not... maybe you whacked your head on the wall while "swinging" & it caused temporary amnesia? Suzie... fajitas!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Janie... YAY! so glad you're coming on the trip to... ??? Everyone... make it a great day!

ATTENTION!: Voting will close tonight at 11:59pm!! You can choose between Deep Creek, a "surprise" location from the $250 travel site, or Tunica. PLEASE VOTE! It isn't fair to just say "wherever"... pick one! Vote early, vote often! (well, some of you already have "often" covered! :eek: you know who you are!!)

"...and then since I was crying I ate a piece of garlic bread..." -- Tracy, this is the craziest phrase I've read in a long time (well, at least since the "swing" discussions!)! Sorry you're having a bad eve... Kat... glad to read that the trip is going well so far... prayers for your dad! Just got back from dd's band concert... too cute... I love elementary school programs! Time to get into my jammies & veg... g'nite!
