I'm all over this meeting - got my room booked at the Amerisuites, and I'll be booking my train tickets when I get back from the other PT meeting!
Hmmm......it's all starting with "A"......Amerisuites, Amtrak, Albuquerque, ACGAS......I just need a rental car from Alamo now! :p
I'll be leaving the little Samster at home this time though - he'd be too much of a handful, and I don't think Amtrak allows pets, though I'd have to check their website.
Much too early to remind of this, but I will anyway. October mornings are chilllly, even in abq (30s-40s in the morning, 50-60 afternoon). Santa fe (if anyone plans to head there for a day) usually has at least one snow fall by Halloween, so plan your wardrobe for fall! (People always forget that about northern New Mexico).
On my way to get the first Harry Potter book (yay, finally gonna read this on the way to Spain), I drove down Lousiana Blvd. Drove past the fair grounds, then past the "Choice hotel" which is about a block from the edge of the fair grounds, then down to the Macaroni Grill/Winrock Inn/ Amerisuites. This is all pretty do-able. Amerisuites is a big block (a vacant lot) away from winrock mall/macaroni grill/winrock inn. All pretty close to eachother. There's a Bennigans and a Steak and Ale across the street. A coffee shop in the borders books.... A starbucks across from the Amerisuites.... All in all a pretty good area for things. The Choice hotel is the furthest from all the fun stuff (cept the fair), but still in walking distance. fwiw
ohhhh my weakness! I'm a BIG starbucks junkie!!!Quote:

You guys can borrow my vehicle-- just drop me off at opening and pick me up at closing... and don't wreck my car! ;)
At least we won't have to get in shape for bikini weather :D :DQuote:

Shari - SO glad you're coming for sure!
Have you guys booked your hotels, yet? Where ya stayin' at?
I'll look for the show itinary (sp?) & see if it's posted ...
I am so excited to see the Arabians- the most gorgeous horse in the world. I would LOVE to own one in the future, along with a good old Quarter Horse. :D :D :D
We got our train tickets in the mail a while back- so we are going for sure!
YaaaaHooooo! Gini & I were wondering where this thread was and what, if anything, was still happening. I'll get back to you all later when I get more definate info. This is SO :cool:
I haven't booked my hotel yet. Did we decide on the 24th-26th instead of the 17th-19th for sure? I have a test on the 17th so the weekend of the 24th would be better for me. I could still make it the 17th, but I wouldn't get in until later.
AmeriSuites is TOTALLY booked for the weekend of the 24/25th :mad: Now what? Drat, drat, double drat :( I'll check LaQuinta or a Choice or something. Where is anybody else staying??
Just checked Comfort Suites Uptown, sounds great, rooms available. Special deal for $62.95 per night. LaQuinta by the airport has rooms for $67.49. Comfort is closer to fair grounds and all rooms are suites. Really sounds good. Liable to be a very busy, booked weekend so probably a good idea not to wait too long.

Show schedule still isn't posted... not sure if they will be posting one this year or if they're just late with it.
Rumor has it that Patrick uhh... the guy from dirty dancing *mind went blank* .... will be there. (He has Egyptian arabs in the show.)
Swayze? yum!
double yum:D
