So, have we figured out what we're going to do for food and all? :)
I'm so going to one of these next year.
Angie, I hope we can meet up since you can't make it to the meeting.
Clara I really hope you can come! I'd love to meet Leo and Barney! :)
Audrey I think you should go to this one ;)
Yeah we should probably figure out the food thing...it's coming up faster than you think.
As much as I would like to cook something to bring that's not really possible with the traveling so I think I'll buy something when we get in Ohio.
I wish! But I have no money
I'll bring the meat...hamburgers and hot dogs okay with everyone?
How 'bout if I bring some sides- stuff like potatoe salad or macaroni salad? (since I live so close, it won't have to travel far.)
Any preferences?
I could bring chips or pop or something that travels well :D
Barney is getting his shots Friday, so I will be sending in my paperwork for the permit as soon as I have his proof of vacs. His previous owner failed to send us shot records, so we have to revaccinate him. :(
As it looks now, I should be able to bring both Leo and Barney - my sister is letting me borrow her Element. Two big dogs in a small Geo Prism doesn't quite work. :D
Phred - any chance you can email me directions again? I can't find the ones you sent me last time. My email is [email protected]
Looking forward to it.

MapQuest Travel Route is "on the Way"!
Let me know if you :eek: don't get it.
/s/ Phred
Oooooo, I wish I could come! :( :( :(
When's the next one? I may have to book a flight for the next one, if I know about it ahead of time, and if it's on a Saturday like this one. :D

I can't really say if I can make it or not. I have to work until 330 that day so I wouldn't be able to get there much before 430. On a holiday weekend I can't/won't ask my weekend partner to come in early. And Phred, I can't/won't call in sick either!! :p
I will try my best to get there but with the daylight saving's time not changing yet, I am not sure how much daylight will be there. And I don't want anyone staying until I get there and traveling in the dark. We may have to settle for me calling a cell phone and passing it around like they did in Cali last year!!
Hey 4:30 isn't that late! I would love to see you again Staci! I'd like to stay there for quite a while if those I'm going with are ok with it. What time do the meetings usually start...I can't remember. Maybe we could start it a bit later.
usually everyone aims b/n noon and 1 or so I think...

Hey y'all - I know there was a little discussion about whether or not to reserve the shelter- it was a little nicer out this past weekend and I was at the dogpark - there were some peope having a cookout in the shelter - people without dogs!:eek:
---Noon edit--- the shelter has now been reserved for Pettalk!
I know, I know!!!Quote:

Ok. I'm going to look into a flight. Unfortunately, if I fly I can't bring any of the kids. :(Quote:

Amy & Kay, where are y'all staying? If I can pull this off, where's the closest airport to where y'all are staying, or the park?
*scared* I've never traveled alone. What a whimp! LOL!
Staci - if I fly all the way up there, you'd better show!! :D :p
What airport is closest to you, Micki? Dallas? Isn't there 2 in Dallas? Dallas, TX - Love Field (DAL)
Dallas, TX - Dallas/Ft Worth Intl. (DFW)
I think we're staying at Anna's house which is in Piqua Ohio. From what I can figure (and I don't know Ohio so you Ohio people can give some imput) it looks like Dayton would be the closest to her house...then Columbus? I think Toledo may be closer to the park but I don't see an airport there...*edit* NM I see one now I was blind before I guess lol. I'm sure there's an airport in Cleveland too but that's not real close to either location.
Hey your dogs are small enough one could ride under your seat on the plane. ;) It's $75 each way though unfortunatly.
Ok, what I would need would be a hotel close to the park and an airport close to the hotel, lol. I don't want to pay a fortune in cab fare. Can any locals tell me where the park is and where an airport is located in relation to it?
Yep, we have Love Field and DFW International.
Amy, can you imagine a being on a plane with a terrier under your set? OMG, no way!! :D
Commercial Airports in Ohio
Akron Akron Canton Regional Arpt CAK
Cincinnati Cincinnati No Kentucky Intl Arpt CVG
Cleveland Hopkins Intl Arpt CLE
Columbus Port Columbus Intl Arpt CMH
Dayton Dayton International Airport DAY
Toledo Toledo Express Arpt TOL
Youngstown Youngstown Municipal YNG
I think Toledo is the closest to the park which is in Findlay, OH. According to yahoo maps it's about an hour away.
So, I could fly into Dayton and take a cab to Piqua. I found a LaQuinta that I could stay at there and then if I can hitch a ride to and from the meeting, I'd be set. A cab back to the airport on Sunday, and it CAN be done! :D
My only problem is the flight. The only ones I've found leave early Friday, and that could be a problem with for my boss. :( I doubt I could leave early, since we'll be crazy busy by then. :(
What time could you leave on Friday? I found a few evening flights...they are more expensive than the morning ones however.
Hmmm. Probably not until after 5. :( Maybe 3?Quote:

Iffin you come Micki - I will be there better late then never!!!
am on CALL the nite before so will be TIRED too but oh well........
Look into Toledo also - Amy lives there and could arrange hotel/transportation etc.
LOL, I'm too chicken to have to change planes. :o
I've found a few flights that I'm going to check on tomorrow. I'm exhausted right now and going to bed. I'm also going to ask my boss about working a half day on Friday the 25th. I'm sure she'll say no, but it never hurts to ask!
Anna - can you tell me what hotels aren't creepy in Piqua? Is the LaQuinta ok?
Cool Staci!!! :D Ok, I think I'm pretty positive that I'm coming.
*squeals from excitement!*
Micki I'm too chicken to have to do that too...I got a non-stop flight. It usually costs more but the peace of mind is worth it. ;)
I'm so excited to have you come Micki!! :D
Are you serious? Your coming? AWESOME!!!!! I'm so excited:DQuote:

And yes, the LaQuinta is a very nice motel, only a couple of years old.
I'm so stoked now, you better come;)
OMG!! That's so exciting!!!!!!
I JUST woke up, dragged myself out of bed, can barely see, but i'm beyong hyper and going crazy LOL!
Micki, Depending on which day/when you fly in, i'll see if my dad could pick you up from the airport.. AND give you a ride to Findlay!
This is so exciting! :D
Now you know if your coming into Dayton...we'll all be there to welcome you Micki!
Wow...amazing what you can miss over night!! How exciting!!
And of course if you come, Pippi will have to be a definate for the park, so you have that small terrier with the big dog attitude to make you feel at home!
Sounds like things may work out for flying into Dayton, but if you can find cheaper flights, to Toledo or Detroit, we can help you out in the north!!
If anyone does decide to fly into Toledo, I'll be glad to be a chauffer - it is 1 hour to Findlay from Toledo. There actually is a smll airport in Findlay, too, but I don't know much about it. If anyone wants to stay in Findlay, I can recommend a couple places we used when we were interviewing there.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Holy Smokes! I can't believe this all took place while I was sleeping last night. This is so exciting! Is it true?! Are you really coming, Micki?! I just can't wait to meet you. This is going to be such a wonderful Pet Talk gathering.
Robin :D :D
