The Great Haggis Feast

[momcat]

My gang will be hoping a flight with the friend who helped them in the past. They will be landing at the Detroit Metro Airport. Can the Catmobile pick them up there? They will get there on Wednesday. They want a little time to visit with their friends before all the festivities begin.

Hi Miss MoFF,
Of course the Catmobile will pick them up there! Tell your crew that their kitty friends can come too!

Okay fellow kitties, After reading the post from Auntie Phesina I called the local Jaguar dealer. The Catmobile will be here ready to go tomorrow afternoon. Soncat will help me pack it up then we can leave on Wednesday, the earlier the better. Everyone is welcome to stay at my place.

There's still time to join in so be sure to call Cassie or me and let us know where we should pick you up.

Your friend,
Groucho

Mr. Merlin is ready to go and he has his passport packed. He hardly slept last night for thinking about his sweetheart, Sparkler. I'm dropping him off at the train station tomorrow morning on the way to work.

My apartment will seem so empty... **sigh** but I know that he will have a good time.

Oh yes and he has a blackberry now so hopefully he will take pictures along the way and email them to me - that is, if he's not too busy partying.

Hi everybody! Sorry my Catberry has been silent lately; Mom doesn't let me use it when I'm under the weather. We just got back in from a deck romp, I have a full clearance for my R&R trip. Cassie; I know you'll do just fine in my seat!

I'll join y'all Wednesday morning with a special treat from the Haggis in a Hurry Ellicott City store! See you soon!

Purrs, Pinot

Oh, my dearest Merlin.. I am so looking forward to being with you again!

Love from your adoring Sparkler

Another place for all you kitties AND Angels coming to town to check out while you're here:

The Real Seafood restaurant in Ann Arbor serves FABULOUS, DELICIOUS seafood meals (http://www.opentable.com/real-seafood-company-ann-arbor)! Our Meowmie had a wonderful Lake Superior Whitefish dinner there for her birthday this year.

And in fact they will be catering a Special Banquet Saturday night (to go along with all the haggis) for the Catmobilers!

I have lived in Detroit a couple of times and I told the boys that they just HAD to go to Mackinac Island, the prettiest place in all of Michigan! Mac thinks they named it after him, so he is going to be a bit delusional this trip. I hope this doesn't upset the other kitties. Once he gets an idea in his head, there's no changing his mind.

Well, the kitties are on their way. As I was having my coffee before leaving for work they each came, gave me a kitty kiss and said, "We be good". I did remind each of them to be sure and check in with their purrents.

Their first stop will be at Trenton's Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe for some breakfast while the staff sets up the buffet in the Catmobile. From there it's on to Ellicot City for Pinot.

It was a pleasure having them here last night. They played an exciting game of kibble soccer then searched for the carpet gator. Everyone was asleep early.

Please check in and let us know if you hear from your voyager?

Kitties, How's THIS for a plan?!!! --

We all arrive in Michigan today, picking up kitties along the way.. then stopping at Metro Airport and then the Ann Arbor Train Station picking up the kitties arriving by air or rail -- then we come to our house for an evening of R&R AND haggis..

Then tomorrow morning the Catmobile heads north to Mackinaw City at the tip of the mitten of the Lower Peninsula.. then we're all aboard the specially chartered ferry just for us, off to.... MACKINAC ISLAND!!!!! (The Catmobile will be parked at the ferry dock to await our return, since it can't come to the Island.)

And.. here's another surprise: Guess who is joining us: TRAVELER!!! He was so excited to hear about Mackinac Island, he booked the red-eye from L.A. and is on his way! He is hoping to pull a few buggies-full of romantic kitty couples. He is bringing along a whole lot of USC horse blankets for his new horsie friends.

We have the entire Grand Hotel reserved JUST FOR US!!!!! (Previously-reserved guests were found alternate accommodation [where available; otherwise told they were S.O.L.].) Thursday and Friday, we explore the island, meet horsies, take horse-drawn carriages and buggies, check out Great Lakes fishies..

Friday we head back for Ann Arbor for Haggis Feast Day.. Traveler would love to join us for that too, but he must fly back to L.A. for his game Saturday.

Details of Haggis Day plans to follow soon...

Meowmie still doesn't know we are all coming today.. especially about Traveler coming too.. Isn't she in for JUST THE BIGGEST, HAPPIEST SURPRISE OF HER LIFE?!!!!!! We love to do things like this for her!
