Hey ladies we wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Some of us ladies have been discussing it in the Houston Tx. thread. With all the confusion of people missing threads and posts we wanted to come up here in the Lounge and post something about this get togather.

The more people the better! We hope lots can come and enjoy each others company! All is welcome to come and visit even if you can't spend the night!

It's kinda of a spare of the moment thing. We originally was going to meet for the day in Kema but then a few of us started talking about spending the night so here we are still talking about where we want to spend the night and what we want to do while we're togather!

So far I've suggested we be togather for the night in Galveston in a Beach Houses since it's out of season and the rates are discounted.

You can view the Beach Homes at www.cottagebythebeach.com

I did call today and this is what I found out:

We can view the home before reserving if it's empty.

They suggest to smoke on the balcony but is not strictly enforced.

There is a 2 night minimum rental.

Weekend are a bit more expensive than the advertised price at the website mentioned above. The prices on the web site are for weekdays only.

The man said Stewart View is available (as many others are too) this one is going to be around $300.00 after tax for 2 days. If 6 people come that means $50.00 per person. The extra day will give us a very late check out option. Just something to think about.

Any questions? We're open for suggestions too!!

I call that my "Baby"! :eek:

Getting that car was a spur of the moment thing, and if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't have gotten it. My car started having problems, and although I loved that car I couldn't keep it. I probably would have kept it for another 5 years or so, but couldn't. Well, I had it in my head that I wanted a convertible, and my hubby didn't. We got into a big time argument over the whole thing. I told him this was supposed to be my car, why can't I get what I want? Well, I went and looked at all the convertibles, and when I saw this one, well I just had to have it. My first car was a Camero convertible (red no stripes) and I loved it. So, I argued till I got it. The problem is we can't take people with us as the backseat is so small. As for me driving it, I love it, but it does create problems when we have out of town guests. It is not a very comfortable car for taking trips either. And like I said the police love it too. My hubby has a really bad heavy foot, so it is not the best car for him to drive. Every guy that pulls up beside you wants to race. I drove a truck the other day, and I almost wish I had it.

I hate to be the simple minded here, but what started out as a day/lunch thing turned into a overnighter and now its a TWO nighter....

Mike wouldnt mind the one overnight, but TWO??? Geee, thats really hard when there's little ones to tend to on the home front... like the 2 of us have (Kayleigh, too I think?).

Lisa, what about in Kemah? Do you think there would be a guest house we could rent for 1 night in that area?

Im just making suggestions......... I may have to call you on this one.

Paula - We aren't staying two nights, only one. We are coming in Saturday and leaving Sunday. I think Lisa said it required a two night reservation to get the cottage. Am I correct here Lisa?

Well, Shoot! I'm afraid that date is just too close to my surgery for me to make this one. But if plans are made for later, let me know!

Marie went to Kema today to check out whats available and for what price. Lets wait and see what she has to tell us.

Paula, the reservation is for 2 days, you don't have to stay 2 days. You can use the second day for a late check out. Other wise you have to be out by noon & every hotel room has noon check out. I'll do that if I have to. I think it would be neat to able to hang around as long as you wanted.

We were only going to get the beach house if 6 people committed to going in the first place. That has'nt happened yet. As of right now we have 4 of us that are intrested in spending the night. Betty, Leatha, Ginny and me.

O.K., just got home...Kemah is basically a Landry Corporation's group of restaurants and shops near a marina w/ tons of sailboats. The Boardwalk Inn's largest room is a kingsize bed. Their Condos are 5 blocks away, not on Water, weekend is 2 day rental, and say no vacancies for 11/13/04.

Galveston.... www.spectrumvacationrentals.com I went and toured this one. It's right on seawall, large wraparound balcony, 4 bedrooms (3 kingsize beds, 2 twin), 3 full baths, brand new, huge, drop-dead gorgeous...total for 1 night (11/13/04) $402.50 (includes taxes) (8 @ 50.31 ea.). Non-smoking, check-in 3 p.m., check out 10 a.m. (like we'll be sleeping -ha!) I'll stay if I can room w/ Betty in the twin beds room. The website shows it's interior, looks just like that--has an elevator up to it, plenty of parking. If you want this one, I'll be glad to pay for it, then get reimbursed. We probably won't sleep anyway, so if we get more than 8 to come, great!

Let's see...Kyleigh, Ginny, Paula, Leatha, Lisa, Betty, me. I'm going to contact Clara Luz. Anyone else you can think of?

Leatha - I have the camero, and it's a red convertable with racing stripes. (second childhood) I don't think I would ever get another one, the cops watch me like crazy! . :(

My point, exactly. If they stop me in a Subaru, imagine the troubles I'd have in a real sports car. lol
