Judy - Whatcha gonna sing for us in Gruene? We're expecting a concert, complete with bells y'know!

Hey Gruenies!~~

It looks lovely, Terri. Thank you for everything you're doing to make this a great trip!!

You guys are so lucky. Wish I could be going with you but Suzie Doesn't fly and it would be to long of a drive to do by myself. I think it's a 14 hour drive. I was kinda hoping for Tunica. That would have been about a 7-8 hour drive and would have put me thru St. Louis where I could have picked up a couple of Hitch Hiking Violets. Well, maybe next year you'll pick a place closer. Besides that will give me more time to lose more weight and look not so frightning in a bathing suit. Can't wait to see all the pics. Someone needs to come up with a website to post them so the whole world won't see.

You guys have fun and think of me while your floating.

Suzanne---we are drugging Jen, and Laura to get them to fly----c'mon!!! Believe me, I am going to have so many people laughing at me in a swimming suit, you have no chance of scaring any of them!!!! Would LOVE for you to join us in the fun!!!

While I would love to do as you ask and think of you while floating---I think I will be concentrating on staying right side up!!!

Keep thinking about it.....

FLIGHTS

Make sure you check for price breaks flying into Houston rather than San Antonio. If you can get to Houston by noon or so, one of us can lag behind and pick up an IAH crew. (Michelle is finding that her costs are much less flying into Houston, for example)

TracyK can even pick up from Houston Hobby which is where Southwest flies into.

Keep in mind that traffic on a Friday afternoon starts getting real heavy with folks trying to get out of town, etc....so getting here before noon would be extremely helpful. That would get you into Gruene by 4:00-5:00.

Remind me again---how long is the drive between the 2? I slept since you told us on the other thread!!!

KEWL!! Flights to Houston are about $125 cheaper and get me to Houston IAH before noon!!!!

Laura - darling... I have your connection.... I just got some .... but I have something else I'm going to take.... I'm putting them in the mail!!!!!!!!!!

get your ass to SA with your violet sisters where you belong!!!! LOL

I am still checking flights out but I am pretty sure it is going to be the one out of Baltimore.

147:20am9:35amNonstop3:15$356$336web_only.gif $125

293:25pm7:35pmNonstop3:10$356$336web_only.gif $125

Michelle - check this... driect flight into Houston would save about $40 each way so $80... what do you think?

or would you rather fly into SA?

Oh MY Gosh!!!!

Dumb Question Alert: What do you mean subscribe to this thread? Although I am not sure I wanna know...spend too much time here as it is! OK...I wanna know.

Kat - Gruene is 3 hours from Houston, but 4 hours from where Tracy lives. Haydee and I live closest to IAH; Tracy lives closest to Hobby Airport.

I just figure we'll be chatting at 100 miles an hour that those 3 hours would fly by! Especially if you'd have to connect thru IAH or Dallas anyway...the time you'd save wouldn't be that significant. Y'know?

Laura - darling... I have your connection.... I just got some .... but I have something else I'm going to take.... I'm putting them in the mail!!!!!!!!!!
That is illegal on about 20 different levels!!!:) LOL!!!

Go to the top of the thread and look under "Thread Tools":frown:

I think by replying you automatically are subscribed.....where you get email alert from the first new post after visiting.

Jane, Terry has a question about which room we want. The original or the newest one she found out about, which is not by the tavern. Go have a look at the Judges Chambers (a totally cool old building~) and see which we want. It has 2 bedrooms separated, both with beds, and has both a tub and a shower. Not sure what the bathroom has in the original room, the other only had a tub---no shower. I am fine with the one with the sofa bed if you prefer it. Like I told her I am going to meet all of you, not sleep!!

Just got the house cleared of people, had a good time, now I am ready for bed, I did not sleep well last night.

Will talk to all of you girlies tomorrow!!!

Hugs~~
