Archive through November 07, 2003
Admin | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:23 am     Okay, it's in the works! So far we have Alib and myself. No date yet, but we're both in Ottawa. I call it the first official GT, because it'll be the first one I'm at! What should we do? Just meet for coffee? Maybe lunch at a restaurant? |
Admin | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:27 am     Oh ya, I'm pushing this because I can't afford to travel out of town at this point, so a local GT is all I can manage. Ideally I see this happening before Xmas. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:29 am     Whoohooo! Neil is coming out of the woodwork! I hope you guys have a terrific meeting! |
Djgirl | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 09:54 am     Admin - let me know when since my Dad lives in Smith Falls & I could nip up there for the weekend. Spitfire & I were just talking about something like this! |
Badabing | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 09:58 am     Hey let me know when Admin, I'm right across the river in Aylmer |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 11:19 am     Well, I'm up for it too. Though it is kind of far ... |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:02 pm     Heck, I would go to Ottawa.....where IS Ottawa, anyway? I'm 3 hours south of Niagara Falls. Can I do Ottawa in a day's drive? |
Abby7 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:15 pm     Okay, I would love to go to Ottawa, Canada. But, better yet...I have an idea. We MIGHT want to let "Admin" pick a trip of his choice (since so many are being planned it seems)...then TVCH members can pool in whatever they can ($5?)...to help Admin and his family attend? (p.s. this in addition to anyone who can attend the Canada trip). Just a thought. It may even take a year to get enough money...but we can try. What do you think? |
Admin | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:39 pm     I hope to make it to the Summer GT at Resortgirls, but that's a 2 day drive. If I can time it right. I'm already planning a trip to Carlisle, PA around then, so maybe I can do both. Abby7, thanks for the thoughts, but it's a matter of time too. I'm not comfortable taking charity. Anyhow, there's more of you around Ottawa than I thought! Yehaww! Niagara Falls is a good day's drive from here, like 6 hours without hitting traffic, longer with traffic. |
Abby7 | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 07:50 pm     Okay, Admin. I understand. I really didn't mean it as charity. If I did, then I would tell you that all you have done for me by providing TVCH (with others) is charity. So, sorry. I didn't mean it that way...it was more of a giving back. But, yeah, PayPal, is for that. I've only been to Canada once...and loved it. Would love to go again. |
Admin | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:21 pm     There is so much to see and do in Ottawa, Canada's Capital! There are museums galore, the National Art Gallery, the Governor Generals house, the Prime Ministers house, the Parliament Buildings (like the White House). There's boat cruises down the Canal (summer), boat cruises down the River (summer), the National Arts Center. In 2 hours you can get to Montreal and do a million things there too! Oh ya, there's the Official TVCH GT too! |
Reiki | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:35 pm     Hey Admin, how far is it from Ottawa to Chicago? |
Admin | Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 08:43 pm     Well, according to this site http://www.symsys.com/~ingram/mileage.html it's about 600 miles! |
Schoolmarm | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 12:20 am     Admin....What the heck are you doin g in Carlisle? We could have a PA gathering while you are there if you have a little extra time. I'm sure that Halfunit would drive in from Ohio for a Carlisle gathering, and I would be there, too methinks. <Roadster Marm drives 6 hours in her sleep....a full day drive is 12+> |
Christina | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 04:21 am     I would come, I live in Smiths Falls. 40 minutes from Ottawa. Lots to do and see around here. Merrickville is a must if you are in the area. One of the prettiest towns in Canada. We have an award to prove it! |
Reiki | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 05:02 am     Marm swing by and pick me up the way will ya' - LOL. |
Halfunit | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 05:43 am     (...would bet $1000 that Admin is going to Carlisle to attend the monsterous swap meet (cars) that is held there every year...I've gone myself, and it's HUGE!...) |
Admin | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 06:54 am     Well Halfunit, you win! Yes, Carlisle = swap meet/car show. I attend the Chrysler one. I've been twice, hope to make it three times by next year. So what should we do at this Ottawa GT? I'm not good at organizing...can you tell? |
Wapland | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 02:04 pm     I'm in, just pick a date. I'm only 1.5 hours out of Ottawa. What can I do to help? Just let me know. Wappy |
Secretsmile | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 06:35 pm     OK, I can do Carlise, PA ! LOL, that's as close if not closer than Boston! Reiki, you make it this far south, I'll get you the rest of the way to Carlise! |
Reiki | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Secret mom I may just be able to do that |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, October 26, 2003 - 04:23 pm     I think that we ALL should do Carlise....I'm not one for a car auction, but heck....it IS closer than Boston, and I am needin' another TVCH gathering! |
Neko | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 03:26 pm     I wish I could go!! Seeing this one's actually in Canada. LOL Hope you all have fun though!! |
Alib | Tuesday, November 04, 2003 - 12:52 pm     WOW ... take a break and look what happens! I sent Neil an e-mail but have been really busy at work so haven't had time to visit TVCH. Let me know when & where and I'll be there. Coffee is OK but lunch might give us more time to actually meet each other and talk. Looking forward to this. |
Admin | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:38 am     Yes, I've been really busy too! I meant to call you Alib, never got a round tuit. I apologize. I'm just terrible at planning things. Lunch it is. Let's pick a place, then a date. |
