Spygirl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 07:57 am     And the planning continues!!!! WHooohoooo!!! |
Resortgirl | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:04 am     I also wanted to let anyone that is flying in know that the airport in Bemidji is 45 minutes from us versus Fargo airport with is 1 hour 45 minutes. I did some searches for airfares and the rates are comparable, actually Bemidji was a bit less. You would have to change planes in Minneapolis though. Anyway just a thought, to save some driving time.... |
Zachsmom | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 11:42 am     Thanks RG!! And I'll be more than happy to give Rogue a pot to piss in while he's there.. Twinkie..I may or may not have an extra room..tenetive right now..and I won't give up on the couple for a few months..but if you know that you are going to go we'll work something out..We can even work on sharing my room (One night I sleep in it and the next you do..I am not opposed to sleeping on the couch..as long as you don't watch me drool in the night.. ) We can even have a slumber party on the floor..lol.. all in all I want as many people to go..we will all be enjoying each others company during the day and evening so the amount of room in a cabin during those times doesn't matter to me..the only thing I require is a place to lay my head at night and a place to change my clothes.. |
Northstar | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 12:43 pm     RG, is there room on the property to pitch a tent? And if so, would those who are in the cabins mind sharing the bathroom? |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 01:44 pm     I am in cabin 1, and would be more than happy to share bathroom facilities, the kitchen, etc. with those who have campers, tents, or other types of accommodations lacking some type of needed space. |
Tess | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Kar, you are more than welcome to come share with me. I'll even come fetch you!! ummmmm ON TIME this time. If it's cheaper for you to fly home out of MSP I can give you a ride to the airport on Saturday, too. Yay!! Spy, if it saves you money to fly into MSP and you are coming on Saturday, the 12th, I can fetch you, too. |
Rogue | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 06:00 pm     RG, I'll be plain out camping. I've been itching for a week long camp out, haven't done it since 84 and am looking forward to it. Granted, I'd love to have a camper to bring, but unfortunately, this Rogue ain't got one, lol. Thanks, Zmom! |
Northstar | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 07:32 pm     Thanks for the offer Lance. I won't know if I can make it until probably May-June, and it would only be for a couple nights. |
Halfunit | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 07:56 pm     Northstar, I'm in the same boat as you. A lot will depend on what remains of the tax refund once I pay my sectional off. If I can go, I am going to UPS my tent and sleeping bags to RG and have it there ahead of time so I don't have to check it as luggage. Would that be ok, RG? (I won't ship it COD!) I can check it on the return flight - I won't care about it getting lost - I will be basking in the afterglow of a wonderful camping experience! |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:01 pm     The couch in cabin 3 is very comfortable. So is the couch in the mobile home. Cabin three has two bedrooms. The big bedroom has a double (or maybe queen) bed. The other bedroom has a full bed and a twin bed. It is compact. I speak from experience! It's a very nice cabin! |
Zachsmom | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:17 pm     Thanks Schoolmarm! So Twinkie and I can share a room!! Here that Twinkie??? |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Buttercup and I shared that room last year...and after I was "voted off" (LOL...had to leave for a business conference) Karuuna and Buttercup shared the room. And the good news...you still have an available couch! IN A HUGE (for a cabin) Living room! |
Twinkie | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:30 pm     That sounds awesome!!! Mind you I'm going on the assumption that I will not be in FL at that time. Its also assuming that financially things are going to work out for us. But I'm very much an optimist. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:36 pm     RG, you better get busy NOW clearing that land and putting in the toilets and showers for your new tent camping area. |
Halfunit | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 08:38 pm     You mean there's no outhouse???? |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 11:11 pm     Half,sorry I didn't get back sooner.We'll be driving sweetie.Trying to get arrangements made.We plan on leaving here and dropping step-daughter off in Mankato, then heading to ResortGirl's for a couple of days. Do you need a ride or need us to help in any way?Give me a holler!! Thank goodness for Lance & Merlin, I was afraid I'd still get the blameLOL |
Resortgirl | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 05:17 am     I would have room for a couple of tents. As I said before, there are no bathroom/shower facilities so it's up to the cabin renters if they are willing to share otherwise I could probably dig a hole...lol! Half of course it's fine to ups the tent and sleeping bags up here. We do have a small 3 person tent if anyone wants to use that. And I'm sure I can round up sleeping bags. I think if we get more then seeveral people planning to tent though, we should probably look into some nearby campgrounds. My well, and septic probably can't handle much more then that, and poor Tess had cool/cold showers several times last year!! This is going to be so great! Does anyone know if BB will be on then? I'm thinking I might try to run a cable to the TV in the gameroom so that we can watch in there... then I don't have to clean my house....lollol |
Schoolmarm | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 07:39 am     Ok, I'm going to try to schedule my other life things around this...I've been offered a couch, and I will be taking it. I love to cook, and promise to NOT burn my fingers on the grill lids this year. I think that with SO many people going, it would be a great idea if everyone goes with the attitude of getting to know EVERYBODY. I know that I would like to spend time on the beach/lake/boat, but that I don't want to go fishing. I promise to use more sunscreen this year so I won't have to have a jammie day nursing the sunburn. I just looked at the group pic from last year and Merlin and I are beet red! |
Zachsmom | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 07:42 am     MARM!!! but I was hoping that we would have jammie days all week!!! you're the only other person I know who loves jammie days as much as I do!!! i mean really..do we HAVE TO get out of our jammies that week?  |
Schoolmarm | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 07:48 am     Ummmm, I guess not! And if WE are the only ones at the resort, with the exception of the people in the mobile home, I see no harm in it! You know, I never had a cold shower at the resort...it must depend on what time you get up OR out of your jammies. I had a couple of showers in the afternoon as well as the morning. I was in cabin 3 and the hot water was fine there. I am truly excited about meeting all of the "new to the resort" people and seeing old friends as well. I probably won't be there the whole week...maybe Tuesday through Saturday. |
Halfunit | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 08:03 am     Sawheel No, I won't need a ride, I was just seeing if you were making the trek from KY. I can't decide if I should drive, or fly ($305 out of Pittsburgh). But thank you for the offer!!! RG A hole will be just fine . I figure if Helen and Jan can do it, well so can I!! I can bring environmentally friendly soap and shampoo and bathe in the lake. (Pffftttttt) Marm I agree - I want to get to know everyone there. If we should happen to run into antisocial poo-poos, we will vote them off. The tribe has spoken. Zmom I will jammie with you, bunny slippers too. No problem! Speaking of food, what did you guys do last year? Is there a grocery store nearby? Did one person supply one night and another the next, or does everyone chip in, or do you BYOF? I already plan on paying Lance .35 per mile for shuttle fees (if I fly), unless he has a flat rate, lol. I am super flexible when it comes to food too. |
Resortgirl | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 08:26 am     Halfunit.... We kind of just did a potluck each night. There are several grocery stores in the area, you can get pretty much anything you need there. I will provide some really good corn on the cob... the fishermen(women) will provide fresh fish.. right???? Ok maybe we should stock up on burgers...lol! a Anyway, a good thing to do is have a couple chat nights to figure out some menus... could have mexican night, italian night, a couple of grill burgers and steaks nights, and of course the all important, leftover night... |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 08:29 am     I don't charge to shuttle people to/from the airport. My payment is getting to meet yet another person, or see someone gain I haven't seen for awhile--as well as feeling good that others are getting to meet that person, and they get to meet others. Besides, my car has AC, and I think I'm going to enjoy having cool air passing over me during the heat of the day. All other things being equal, Bemidji sounds like a much shorter shuttle ride, however I know there are a number of factors to consider when deciding where to end up landing. I have no problem going to either airport |
Merlin | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 08:36 am     There is only one restriction for having Jammie days. This year jammies should receive prior approval. Please send pics to the following address to be presented before the Jammie Committee. PJapproval@aol.com Thanks in advance for you cooperation. |
Schoolmarm | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 08:42 am     Shheeeeiiiittt, Merlin. You don't like my buffalo jammies? LOL. No way am I taking the bait and sending you a jammie pic for you to add to your volumous book of tvch "notes" Thanks for the laugh, Mr. Wizard |
