4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

[shais_mom]

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

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?"

A true Pet talker.

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.

Val, I'm sure Gini will chime in here but really it all depends on what you want to do. The day of the BBQ is Saturday but sometimes small groups will go off on their own and explore on other days. The first year I attended 3 of us went to Dizzyland. Last year, I went on a sidetrip of my own to visit Sara and the E's. As well, the "younguns" took off on a shopping trip another day. As for Friday, I'll let you and Gini work that out. BTW, can you sweep floors?? How are you with a garden hose???

Just a hint for the newcomers....don't start singing "It's a Small Small World" in front of Gini. You're likely to wind up in the woodshed!!

Sing it out, Richard! Get it out of your system now. I may be the one sleeping next to you in the office this year!

Actually, I WILL be there, somehow, some way. If I'm "retired", forceably or otherwise, I'll drive, walk or crawl.

Since Independence Airlines has gone under, I'll have to find another plane. I'd really rather not be a baglady two years in a row. 24 hours at Dulles is a once in a lifetime experience. And I think Gini and guests should be able to get their beauty rest (not that they need it).

Last year the taxi from LAX to Gini's neighborhood cost $50. Some of the accomodations have shuttles, but they are located near the airport, so transportation to Gini's is still needed. I won't rent a car; I'm directionally challenged. Even GPS wouldn't help me.

I'd like to leave here on Tuesday, the 18th and leave LA on the Monday after the BBQ. Have to see what planes are available around then.
