4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

**caseysmom** · 01-12-2006, 12:17 PM

I was going to rent a motorhome for the upcoming 3 day weekend, went as far as calling cruise america, right now the prices are very reduced because of offseason and it was more expensive than a pretty nice hotel by the oceon. The RV was going to be 330 for 3 days and 2 nights and the hotel is 254 and it takes my dogs.

I found this site-

If you type "Weekly vacation rental, Los Angeles" or something like that you'll get sites to look at.

Mark and I have already talked about this and "hopefully" we'll be in attendance this year

Can't let you have all the fun

Anna, that's just great news. Looking forward to meeting you.

Looking at the growing list of attendees makes me wonder.....

Gini's neighbours thought they had it bad last year....maybe we could set up a few of those mattresses outside the E Museum and move them over there for the weekend.

Anna that's great news! It would be so exciting if you and Mark could make it out!

**dukedogsmom** · 01-12-2006, 02:47 PM

I'm already getting excited! Anna, that would be great if you and Mark could come. I can't wait to meet everyone. I've been so envious of all the fun had at the past ones. And, we must have firemen. I'm sure it will all work out. I just need to know if I do need to plan on trying to pay for a hotel room, too. If that will be the case, I need to save up so I can book it and maybe someone can share the room?

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 01-12-2006, 03:02 PM

Slick, you gave me a great idea! We get some mattresses set up by the E Museum, then we hire some homeless people to partake of them for a few days. The neighbors will all be so worried nad up in arms about their "new neighbors" that they won't even bother with their old neighbor....who just so happens to be having a ton of people over right now....

Got caught up in tax forms again today and just now saw this. Anna and Mark - WOW! I am glad now that I started this thread as early as I did, because all of us can get excited and have this to look forward to.......

I am getting wonderful offers for help - Slick is coming up with some great recipe ideas - Richard is researching accommodation ideas.

Maybe I could call the E Museum and they would allow all of you to stay "inside"...............

The other ridiculous idea that came to my mind is that I buy a bunch of blow up mattresses and line them up in the driveway in the back yard.

One year Laurie wanted to know if I owned a tent. I do, and it was soooooo tempting to set up the tent - and put a sleeping bag in it - and the porta-potty outside........with a big sign 'RESERVED FOR LAURIE' but the tent is a big one - so I never did it.

I just gotta get back to work - more later

sweeeet!
Keep me informed Anna - we might be able to coincide our flights and / or hotels as Last year I flew out of Dayton. And with Kel's living arrangements I probably will be staying in a hotel.

I was in a meeting here at work this morning, discussing some new responsiblities that I'll be taking on because I'm replacing someone who is retiring. There was mention of me doing her tasks while she took some time off and all I could think of was "how does this impact my plans to attend the BBQ?"

**Corinna** · 01-13-2006, 02:11 PM

A true Pet talker.

**dukedogsmom** · 01-13-2006, 05:41 PM

Gini, I need to get an idea of how many days to book? I'm going to be off all weekend plus the Thursday and Friday before that. I was thinking I could maybe get there early Friday to help you or will you be at work? I was thinking of leaving on Monday afternoon. Sound good? This is going to be so much fun.
