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!!

O.K., I'm going to reserve it tomorrow. Now, if we can just "force" some other bandsters to come and have a good time! Do we need to bring extra $$ in case Leatha gets us in trouble? (Bond, bribery, donuts, etc.)

:eek lmaorofl (they don't call me Lethal fer nuttin..)

Ginny, tell them I'm an angel. Sheesh.. lol

P. S. Lisa G., you can soak in one of the jacuzzi tubs as long as you want...without little fingers.

I'm sooo looking forward to this now that I know theres a jacuzzi tub. I used to have one no two of those nice things then we flooded moved to Cleveland and bought this house that has little to none bells and whistles. Oh well, I call it home.

HEY, I just thunk a thought...maybe I'll ask for a jaccuzi tub for christmas!!! I went and test drove a mustang today for the first time in my life. So, if you ladies see me drive up in a red sports car don't think anything of it!!

Leatha, yes Marie and I spent one day togather, she helped me get ready for a yard sale the other week.

Marie, TY again for the compliments. Don't be surprised if you ladies see a new avatar for me every month. I really do like to change things up.

okay that place is beautiful my only concern is that we would only have a few of us staying and if I am not mistaken the cabin Lisa had mentioned earlier was 300.00 for 2 nights and that means the people who wanted to stay 2 nights could the ones who could only stay ony night are free to stay on Sunday as long as they want but it makes no difference to me I would be happy anywhere.

Ginny, weekend rentals usually run from Friday evening until Sunday morning (10 a.m. to noon). If you stay over the checkout time, you get charged another day's rent.

There is plenty to do there after you leave the condo.:~ go to the Strand historic district and all it's shops,~ ride the trolley car,~tour the mansions, walk on the beach~ ride the ferry and feed the seagulls and watch the porpoises,~ eat,~ etc. You could easily spend a week and never run out of things to do!

I can only stay one night.

Whooooo Hooooo! I'm ready! Now I will be counting the days!

I can only stay 1 day too.

Lisa - I love your new avatar! Cutie! Red Mustang, look out Leatha, she wants to race you!

Marie - We better bring that extra money!

Becky said she might get to come, I haven't heard anymore though!

Becky - Are you still thinking about coming?????

Yeah Becky, "WE WANT YOU" (finger pointing at you like Uncle Sam)

I hope a bunch of us lapbanders come even if all you can do is hang out for the day!!

Hey, my friend that I share all of your neat posts with might want to come. She's not a lap-bander but has talked about it before. Can she come??

Our Galveston condo is reserved for November 13, 2004. If you plan on coming, please post your name so we can get a head count. Also, approximately what time you think you'll be arriving on Saturday. Check in's at 3 p.m., but 11/12 (Friday) I'll know if we can get in any earlier. I'll be posting directions later.

Here's a website for Galveston weather... http://galveston.com/weather/

The 10 day shows next Friday w/ 74 high, 58 low, and Sunny!

Leatha - Arriving somewhere around 3pm. (unless Betty makes me get up earlier.) lol

I am coming, Sunday early in the morning, If yall are panning to hang around for a while on Sunday. but will not be able to stay the night I have to work Saturday.

I'm riding, I'll be the look-out guy! Any time is fine with me!

I'll arrive somewhere around 3 pm if thats the check in time.

Do any of you plan on staying later on Sunday? Or will you be returning home early Sunday morning?? Please let me know, as I will probably only be able to attend on Sunday.
