About get together in April or May

[Guest guest]

Just going to try and take some of this off Ginny's back here. This all started with me making plans to go see Ginny, Donna, Tricia and Barbara.....though after Ginny and I were talking that perhaps is I flew in to some place that was an easy drive for them that perhaps if we announced this plan early enough on digest that others might be able to also come. Not knowing how many etc. and at the time Ginny and I talked not knowing for sure best place to go has been sort of a back and forth idea of towns.

Seems that we have chosen Newark as the airport to fly into and then to the Jersey Shore but the exact place not chosen as of yet as I am waiting for Jo, Ginny or Dawn to give me ideas of where want to go. It is planned on 2 full nights with people doing as choose....I plan on getting room with 3 others so can split cost. Also will be going to grocery store to buy bread, deli meat, and whatever else others want for themselves so that we can sit around, lie around and talk, eat and sleep. But of course also want to be able to walk out of place stay and have neat things to see just within walking distance.

Anyway, this has been my way of meeting people, if have to meet in South later on then I hope to do same thing and make it as easy on majority in South to get together and in midwest also. I just have a big time urge to see as many as possible face to face and have 2 full days and nights together. Figured after that would not really want to leave ya'll but body would look forward to my own bed. Just know will want to pack ya'll up and bring you home with me.

So we will be meeting April or first of may, will be flying into Newark and staying for 2 whole nights. Not that others cannot stay longer if choose to, just saying that is my plan. So guess expecting Ginny and Donna etc. leaving when I leave and dropping me off at Newark airport. There may be chance for others to take bus to where ever town choose to go to so don't have to drive and don't think would cost alot but is idea Rhonda gave me so figure will pass it on in case anyone might want to check on bus as know flying more expensive.

I think this will be so much fun. I so have yearned to me ya'll and who ever can come just want to talk, talk and talk and oh eat alot also. But want to have chance to see you face to face. Take some pictures and then when talk to you via email or phone then know who you are.

For anyone unable to go to East coast just know that I hope to get a time to meet others in like said, south and midwest. Seems that that is main area those that write are in. Except sweet S. in Oregon. Bless her heart she is long way from us all. I pray that having this much time to plan that after looking into cost of flying, a bus or driving many can save money to come. Reason for food in room is just another way to save money. As I don't care as much about looking around as much as care about each of you, face to face. Will let you all know name of town as soon as can, and then of course when get name of place to stay will try for group rate but will have to have an idea of number going to be there and then at some point a down payment to put on room.

Hate the dang money part, wish we could do this all by oh, perhaps Bill Gates giving up few thousand to get together but just doubt he will, anyone who knows him though, please feel free to ask him, okay.

Take care all and thank you Ginny for working on this. I had to give her job of exact place to go and stay in as I do not live there so she gets to choose. Many hugs all and sure am happy about this. Save, save save those nickles and dimes. Love to all
