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!!

You ladies took the words right out of my mouth. Is anyone else even a little nervous about all of this or am I the only one?

Lisa I'm not nervous, but I am excited to meet everyone!

I don't think I'm nervous. I always enjoy meeting everyone. Don't be nervous. lol. Most of us don't bite, unless you ask us to... :devious

Hey guys... Im confirming that I WILL be there! I hope Im not too late.

Ive already pm'd Marie with my phone #'s (like I have several !).

Im so excited to be with all of you, and a little nervous, but not being with you - with leaving my 3 kids home with their father! They MAY go hungry, unbathed, watch tv for 24 hours straight, run the streets NUDE at midnight..... and MIke will be playing guitar in the house totally unaware that anything other then himself needs attention!!!

God help us!

But Ill be there... yall just pray for my kids!

Paula, you're too cute! Believe me, those kids will keep Mike on his toes! And they'll report everything back to you when you get home. So glad you can come!!

Paula - I'm glad you are coming. Don't worry about those kids, they will be fine, and your hubby will really appreciate you when you get back home.

The weekend is approaching and I am so looking forward to spending time with "just us girls". I haven't had a girls night out for a looooong time, and I think it will be a ball!

Is anyone else as ready as I am for this weekend?

Yes, Yes, Yes! I haven't had a night out w/ the girls in ages! My son wants to know if we'll have an adult there. LOL

You'll probably want to pack a light jacket. And don't worry about your hair! That sea breeze will undo anything you do.

The condo. has everything needed. If you have a favorite pillow, you might bring that.

If we get bored, I know where a nudist camp is! My son goes duck hunting near there. But he says those people are "nasty" and should keep their clothes on. LOL

We won't get bored.

Boredom is not allowed!

I am just worried about laughing so much it will hurt my tummy! :banana

Think of it as "tummy muscle toning", Betty!

LOL. I'm excited about it too. ROAD TRIP!!! and, I lived in Galveston, on the seawall when I was 3. I've never gotten to stay there since, so maybe I can point out some things I actually remember.

Leatha - You will be our own personal guide! I am so looking forward to this!

Quick update...We have 8 people confirmed...Nancy, Leatha, Betty, Paula, Ginny, Lisa Green, Kathy, and me!!

Would each of you please bring a "Before" picture? This will be great to see our progress!

Last weather check is showing Saturday 64*/56* (breezy w/some clouds), Sunday 66*/57* (chance of drizzle). But anybody familiar w/ Texas weather knows it can change hourly. So I'm personally predicting lots of sunshine, breezy, fun, and perfect. ('Cause that's what it will be in the condo, regardless of the outside weather, Right?)
