That brings my total up to 62. There are 24 floors in our building, and I'm guessing there are at least 2 people on each floor. That would bring my total WAY above my 100 guess ... but it's pretty close, don't you think?

nt you get my msn this am?

i found flights to columbus leaving thur night and coming back sun afternoon for $600 taxes in.
the flights from winnipeg are exacetly the same and so we would be leaving the same time and arriving together.
flights to toronto are $240 which is alot cheaper but the plane saves some time.
let me know what you think.
i am trying to get babs to look into us renting a house for the weekend. would be WAY cheaper than a hotel and i could whip up some gourmet meals

naturaltan · 11-14-2003, 09:32 AM

that's $1800 for the three of us ... too much unfortunately. This isn't as exciting as my daughter thinks it will be and thus we have to way the cost to the amount of fun she will have as it's her turn for a vacation.

We'll keep it in mind though

ponyboy · 11-15-2003, 06:59 AM

Actually the one thing I haven't figured out is a place to stay (unless one of you kind souls with a hotel room have a table I can sleep under). So J'Bo, if you're looking...let me know, I will chip in for it. A house sounds like a good idea.

JLB001 · 11-15-2003, 02:51 PM

You might want to try some of the hotels a lil further from the Arnie. We found a room about 4 miles away for $69 a night. hehe...I said 69. Gawd the boyfriend would love me for that! LOL

I'm still waiting to see what flights will do toward the end of Dec., before we book ours for the trip up.

J'Bo · 11-15-2003, 06:00 PM

What hotel you staying at and how far is it from the Arnie?

JLB001 · 11-16-2003, 11:46 AM

J Bo,

I think we are staying at the Fairfield Inn down by the University. It's about 4 miles away from the show. I sat one day and called every hotel on the list for the Arnie and looked online, couldn't find anything close. I was wishing it would have a micro. in the room, since I will be about 5 weeks out from a show, but they only have one in the dining area downstairs.

That is goning to suck! hehe, may have to hit walmart up for one when we get there.
Jodie B.

J'Bo · 11-16-2003, 12:04 PM

well we can split the micro then if you would share

do you know how far a drive it is to the arnie from there?

anyone else want to stay there? we could probably get a discounted room rate if we all book together.

JLB001 · 11-16-2003, 12:24 PM

I was told it was about 4 miles from the show.
taxi cab! hehe

butterfly · 11-16-2003, 02:00 PM

Jodie B you're from Houston?!? Me too!!! What part you in???

JLB001 · 11-16-2003, 02:28 PM

Ann,

I am over in the Westchase area, guess you would call it the Southwest side of Houston, off Westheimer/Kirkwood. The boyfriend would prefer to be located closer toward his school (TCC in Pasadena, but you couldn't pay me to live in Stinkadena).
What part are you in? Seems like alot of Houston people here on this board.

Fade (the hubby) and I live in Clear Lake. I work at NASA and he's in school to be a pharmacist. Fade was born in Pasadena but we both agree we you... it's NOT some place we'd want to live

JLB001 · 11-17-2003, 07:20 AM

This is the hotel we found...it's the Frairfield Inn, it is/was? $69 a night for a King. About 4 miles from the show. The Fairfield Inns number is 614-267-1111.

J'Bo · 11-17-2003, 07:43 AM

cool i am gonna call them today to see if they have anymore rooms

What's on Sunday?

No, you don't want to miss that.

On Sunday the Expo vendors are literally throwing fee stuff at you so they don't have to pack it back up and take it back.

The clothing vendors will mark stuff down even more than the show price for the same reason.

Also, Arnold has his training seminar, which is good to attend if you're interested in a chance to ask him anything you want.

You're welcome

I have a room reserved at the Crowne Plaza, but a friend is supposed to be getting me a room at the Hyatt Regency (Host Hotel).

Some days I wish I had some skills that I could make a go at a business, but alas, I'm doomed to be where I am for a while.

I wish you the best in both business'!

Thanks NT

Yes, it was a very scary step. However, I'm much happier and much less stressed.
