Re: Get together next summer

[Guest guest]

It's pretty obvious that one location can't suit everyone. I'm in California

but because of family am willing to go to Ohio. The New England area doesn't

work for me. Maybe Carolyn should see how much West Coast interest she can

generate; there are several PLSers in California.

Carolyn:

I have the map of the USA in front of me, and it looks like Ohio in not

in the middle of the country, to me it looks like, Kansas, Nebraska, or

S. Dakota or possibly Missouri (isn't St. Louis the gateway to the

west). I really don't know, but I can see where your coming from.

Maybe we should all limp, crawl or be wheeled into Vegas (can you

picture that?) LOL.

I think, per usual, it will be difficult to all agree on one

destination, and who would be the person making that decision, I only

represent the " New England Group " . But it's good to start planning now,

and to see actually how many are in a position to financially make the

trip.

Lets get a headcount and some suggestions from the peanut gallery.

C et al:

I would be thrilled if it were in Iowa, Des Moines for example,

or St. Louis, or Sioux Falls, South Dakota, or Omaha, Nebraska too. We live

within a few hours driving distance from

all those places, as we live within 1 Mi. of Minnsota, just across

the Iowa border. Count us in as far as I know now. I would

really love to meet lots of you.

Do you think Las Vegas could handle us? Could get pretty

rowdy!

I think a get together sounds neat and, like everyone else, the closer to

my home the better. One thing I think should be considered- a PLSer will

have to coordinate this so it should be near a volunteer's home so there

are minimal problems with logistics. Lavon

Laurel: A few years back, & I toured the USA by car. One of the

highlights of our trip was the Black Hills in the Dakotas, it was

wonderful. There was so much to do and see, we spent only 2 days there,

and we always said we wanted to go back. They were just starting to

carve Chief Crazy Horse, out of the side of a mountain like Mt.

Rushmore, fascinating!!!

Some locations have better air fares than others. We might want to

find a " Hub " city and base the " halfway " mark on airfares and ease of

getting there. Any travel agents out there? Some places are just

easier to fly to than others. That can make a big difference.

Others will be driving and ease of driving usually goes hand in hand

with ease of flying, but not always. We really need to find someone

that has some travel experience to come up with a good suggestion.

come back and said, it was so hot there.I had some other friends tell

me that they saw alot of people in wheelchairs there. Maybe we could

start a caravan. Ha Ha. Carolyn > I have the map of the USA in front

enough time to see them and would like to someday. We were talking

about Crazy Horse the other night because it was on T.V. He works

with a guy that went last year and he said it wasn't done yet. Carolyn
