good word B (and thanks) ... but still it would be a $3000 hit if we ate cheese and crackers.

Ponyboy has put forth an offer to possibly go with him on a 6 hour drive. that might be a lot more feasible. We'll keep our eyes open for seat sales to TO

butterfly · 11-07-2003, 01:13 PM

Sounds good NT! Just get baby NT one of those game boys and she'll be set for the car ride

naturaltan · 11-07-2003, 01:38 PM

she's got the new one ... I guess Santa will need to add a few more games.

Twin Peak · 11-07-2003, 01:41 PM

I can't wait til my boys are old enough for Playstation.

butterfly · 11-07-2003, 01:51 PM

You'll have to have three of them TP... one for each of the boys in your family

we're having a Playstation and movie this weekend. They are always fun!

BabsieGirl · 11-07-2003, 06:40 PM

TP -- how old are your boys?

NT -- That's all you're doing this weekend? Please don't tell me you're renting a playstation?

DaMayor · 11-07-2003, 06:48 PM

Jeeze, 9.5 hour drive for DaMayor. I guess I could start walking now...

ponyboy · 11-09-2003, 05:16 AM

With me and the three NT's (if that works out) I have room in my truck for one more...J'Bo, if you want to fly to TO as well for a cheaper rate and make the trek, I'll extend my offer to you as well.

I guess we'll all get to know each other pretty well after a six hour ride to Columbus!

david · 11-09-2003, 05:33 AM

This time I should be able to go. However, I can only go to one event because I will be going on to Chicago the next day. Gosh, it's going to be REALLY cold up there at that time, too!

ponyboy · 11-09-2003, 07:35 AM

Sorry Mr. South Florida...you might have to get into single digit temperatures for a day or two!

Pretty much. Since Oct.17th weekend, we've been going and going ... time to take a break. Every once in a while, we rent movies and games for the weekend. It's really fun. Of course, we hit the gym and had guitar lessons and such, but mostly, it's games and movies. Fireplace roaring ... it's great!

butterfly · 11-10-2003, 01:03 PM

It's going to be cold??? Like how cold???

Twin Peak · 11-10-2003, 01:10 PM

Cold.

naturaltan · 11-10-2003, 02:48 PM

We'll fit right in then

And we can save some luggage space by not packing swimsuits.

Or sandals, shorts or anything else that would suggest outside comfort.

naturaltan · 11-10-2003, 02:52 PM

I thought cold would be below 0 C ... the average is plus 7 C/45 F. Perhaps sandals will still be needed.

butterfly · 11-10-2003, 07:51 PM

No way even fade would wear sandals in 45 F weather

Guess I better break out the heavy duty winter coats for us!

butterfly · 11-10-2003, 08:32 PM

I hear ya David!!! Butterfly does NOT like to be cold!!!

david · 11-10-2003, 08:48 PM

It's gonna be the longest 24-36 hours of cold in my life, I think. Add me to your list of whose going, B'fly!

Worst is I'm going onto Chi-town for 24 more hours and then, get me the freak back to Fla!!!!!!!!!!!!!

butterfly · 11-10-2003, 09:02 PM

Way cool David

You are on the list

Last year I think it was in the 20's. They had just gotten over having the worse blizzards Columbus had seen in many, many years. They were really concerned about the event because for 3 days the whole town was shut down.

butterfly · 11-10-2003, 09:36 PM

So there may be snow??? I've only seen "real" snow like 3 times in my life!

Lorraine · 11-10-2003, 09:53 PM

Normally, no. Of most of the times I've been to Columbus in the winter months, it may snow but it doesn't stick. It kind of turns to slush real quick. But last year, yes, there was snow accumulated on the ground.

BTW, for you last minute planners. Many of the hotels are not really sold out. They just have blocks of rooms reserved for the event by vendors and such that won't get released until the last few days before the event.

FYI, parking is a bi*tch downtown (there's very little of it) and the cabs are expensive.

Lorraine · 11-10-2003, 09:59 PM

I had to walk outside in this dress!!!
