<<Florida Meeting -- plans!!>>

[Fox-Gal]

If you feel you want to cancel it because of lack of people, thats fine. I understand how you can feel with people not coming and all. I was one of thoses people that didn't show up last time. Even thought I was heading that way, till something happened on the way up. (Long bad story) I felt bad I didn't make it, but there was nothing I could do.

Maybe just Pm people and if they can't say for sure that they are coming, then don't plan for them. Just tell them they are more then welcome to show up, but to bring their own supplies. I sure they will understand if you tell them, that you can't supply things on a maybe. It's just like any other party, you plan for those that accepted only.

Please, What even you decide, just let me know. If you want it to be just you 3 or if you still want to give it a try.


Try not to stress about the whole thing, no matter what I'm sure you will have a fun time, even if it's just you 3.

Oh also if you still are going through with it, I MIGHT be bring a friend and her dog with me. I'm never sure about her till the last minute, so don't plan a thing for her, I'll take care of her if she comes. If you don't mind her coming.

I talked to my mom and she said she has been trying to book a hotel, because we are also (After the meeting) going to see family friends.. She said that most of them were booked, probably because it was mother's day weekend.. So again, Im pretty sure we will be there.. Like fox-gal said, don't plan on the ones who are responding, because im not 100% sure that we can make it, and if we do, it would only be for half of the day...

We are going to try and look for other hotels in the area, im in the middle of doing that now....

Libby -- Of course we still want you to come.

It's just kind of a let down the fact that not everyone seems as into as I do.

I like to have things planned ahead of time so there's no confusion or anything the day of. I understand not everyone is able to plan ahead of time, but it isn't so far away now. Just a week away!

Your friend is more than welcome to come along with her pup!



Valerie -- if you're reading this at all.. PM me to let me know when you're coming. I have off Friday so you can always come then if you'd like and we can do something.. I hope it isn't too hot!!

I so badly want to come...and just because I don't know for sure what is going on around here, it doesn't mean I'm not into it.

There's been a lot of crap going on around here, and as much as I know my mom would be fine alone for a few days...I still don't know if I feel comfortable with that just yet.

Like I said before, plan the food and everything as if Josh and I aren't coming...and if we end up being able to get down there, we'll provide for ourselves and not worry you about it.

I never said you weren't into it.

Ay...now I'm just lost.

[Blustang24]

I know it's very hard to leave loved ones when there is a loss of someone close to them so I completely understand that Brooke. I just hope you all are coping with it okay though. If you come that would be great though.


Foxgal, we're not cancelling. We would LOVE the chance to meet new people and dogs as well as introduce a new park to you and your dog(s). By you I mean you as well as everyone else.

We were just thinking about maybe next time. We're all going to have lots of fun either way!


KayAnn- I have a shelter reserved at John Chestnut...it's been reserved since I think Jan or Feb. If you want to still stay at Anderson with those tables I can go ahead and cancel for John Chestnut. Just let me know. Either way will be fine for me. The only thing is that the shelter isn't RIGHT next to the dog park, but the closest safest (as far as traffic) one.

I like John Chestnut much better, although Anderson is easier to get to (as far as people who don't know the area) The park is much nicer.

I'd much rather go to John Chestnut.... but we'll have to post different directions and all.


We can go ahead and do John Chestnut, if Fox-Gal and anyone else who plans on coming is fine with that asl well.

[Blustang24]

Ok, JC Sr Park's dog park is bigger too! Just let me know.

[Kfamr]

Okay, so is everyone else fine with the change?

If so... i'll get new directions.

[Moose]

Assuming we are able to make it, that change is fine.

[Blustang24]

TO JOHN CHESTNUT SR. PARK

FROM KNIGHTS INN JUST NORTH OF U.S19 AND NEBRASKA INTERSECTION

Go Southbound on U.S.19
Go through Nebraska Road
Turn left at the next light which is Tampa Road.
Go through 3 traffic lights
Make a left at the 4th traffic light which is called East Lake Rd./McMullen Booth Road.
Go past McDonalds and through the traffic light.
Stay in the right lane
Merge with traffic coming from your left side.
Get into the left lane.
I believe there is only 1 or 2 traffic lights.
The park entrance kind of creeps up on you. There will be a small turn lane to turn left into the park.
If you get to the traffic light with the 7-11 on the corner you've gone too far.(that traffic light is about 100 feet past park.)
Follow signs to Shelter 5

FROM TAMPA/HILLSBOROUGH AVE:

Hillsborough Ave. is the same thing as Tampa Road.
Continue onto Tampa Road going Westbound.
Pass Lafayette Blvd./Race Track Road
Pass St. Pete Drive.
Pass Commerce Blvd. (flashing light)
Pass Pine Avenue.
Pass Forest Lakes Blvd.
Pass Shady Oaks Drive
Stay to your right when the road somewhat forks. (to the left is Curlew Rd.and to the right continues Tampa Road.)
Go through East Lake Woodlands Rd.
Make a right at the next light which is East Lake Rd./McMullen Booth Road.
Go past McDonalds and through the traffic light.
Stay in the right lane
Merge with traffic coming from your left side.
Get into the left lane.
I believe there is only 1 or 2 traffic lights.
The park entrance kind of creeps up on you. There will be a small turn lane to turn left into the park.
If you get to the traffic light with the 7-11 on the corner you've gone too far.(that traffic light is about 100 feet past park.)
Follow signs to Shelter 5.


If you are coming and would like my cell phone number in case you get lost or need to stop anywhere and get off track or just want it for emergencies, just PM me and I'll PM it back to you. Thanks.
