Hey Gang,<P>Looking to do it again at the beach. I had the absolute best time in Nashville with the gang. <P>Anyone interested? I was looking at late June, but, I'm flexable [can still touch my toes] Going to pop the T tops and drive down there. 6 hours away for me. If you are less than 3 feet tall I have room for you in the back seats.<P>I kind of picked out the hotel already, it's on the south end of the beach. The widest part and not so crowded, so we can be wild. Sorry don't know how to do the fancy link thing. Here is the web addy.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.goldkeyvacations.com/clarion/clarionhome.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.goldkeyvacations.com/clarion/clarionhome.htm</A> <P>Damn it! Janet!!!<P>I know of 2 MB folks that will be there. Need input. Johnny 5 is alive.<P>Don't miss out this time around. It was a blast. HEY, I'm gonna be there!!!!<P>Ok, so come anyway.<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>The Village Idiot. <p>[This message has been edited by MEDIC238 (edited February 04, 2001).]

the date is more important than the location for me, due to my sports schedules, etc. would it be the last week in June?<P>I can't go during the first three weeks, but, don't let that stop everyone/anyone else if that is the best for everyone else.<P>I would probably be driving down, that way, will be able to afford it during my unemployment year!<P>tom

Yipee!!! I'll be there! I'm flexable about the date too, but then end of June works for me. I'm going to make a week of it in that area, and use up some more vacation time.<P>Watch out, I'm gonna be careful not to injure myself this time, so I'll be giving Zippy a run for his money in the wild and crazy department!<P>Ahhhhhhh.... a great time at the beach! Gotta start stocking up on sunscreen now.<P>Oh, and I got more Nashville pictures posted today.<BR>

Goody, Goody!! I live in Va. Beach!! It would be sooo cool to have a get together here. If anyone has any questions about Va. Beach, feel free to ask away. Also, Cooker lives the next city over - he might be interested also.

Hey, Zippy, I'm the next town over too! (Just had to pop in when I saw Va. Beach). Not even 40 minutes from the ocean front.<P>Let me know and we'll pop in on you guys!<P>Lori

We can call it the MB US tour.<P>Next Winter, we need to go to the West coast!<P>Then the winter after that, Australia!<P>

I'm real iffy. No family vacation last summer. Trying to find new job. I could arrange another Nashville thing. That way I could be there and be back at work on Monday. Zippy, we could find you some metal instead of country music.

Come on Gang,<P>I'm talking nice calm waters, beautiful beach and boardwalk, no Pam Anderson. What more could you ask for?<P>We will be heading down the last week in June in the Red Rocket. The more folks we get the better price I can negotiate. That's the Jew Boy in me talking, still going to be there regardless. I'd like to spend at least a week there.<P>Tom, if you want to drive here and go with Gina and me that would be great. Just have to stuff you in the almost nonexistant back seat. Gonna pop the T tops, crank the tunes and arrive in style.<P>Dawnetta, If your knee is healed by then, let's see if you can keep up with me. Zippys are known to be even wilder in the summer heat. Bikinis drive me nuts, watch it!!!!<P>Lady M and Lori, it would be so cool to meet you guys. If you are serious send me an E and we will get together. Lori, you have always been a great encouragement to me, want to get M for a few days? No strings attached.<P>Jane Elise, come on come on come on. It's not that far. Surprisingly country didn't make me go deaf after all. Nville was pretty cool.<P>Summertime Girls!!! Gonna retire in VA Beach within the next 5 years. Just need to find someone to sit in the BIG chair when I'm gone.<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Zippy

Well, if I'm in town, I'll definitely be there (breaking my rule of never going to the oceanfront between Memorial & Labor Days) . There's actually quite a lot to do at & away from the beach. I might even be able to find a decent restaurant, although we're not on the leading edge of the culinary arts here <P>Sounds like a blast & a perfect excuse for me to play tourist in my own backyard!<P>Take care...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Hey tim, <P>If i drove there, it would be to race you down there, although my car may not top out as fast as yours, or it might, and it might not accelerate as fast, we both will race the limits to get there.<P>Now back to my MS Midtown madness and driving wheel to practice my driving through san francisco~! in my other window! <P>cb handle: "blue lightning"<P>I can be sWIFTTy

Hey Nick!!<P>I was waiting to see you here. I read that you live down there. The Norwegian Lady is calling my name. <P>VA Beach is great!! Last time I was down there was in '94, kind of a honeymoon thing. Val made me get off my fat [censored] and go see the Virginia Marine Science Museum, Nauticis and some other place I don't remember. And here I thought you guys only had the beach!!!! It was pretty cool.<P>OK, Tom. I'm somewhat stuck at topping out at 160. Damn LS1, with the restricted intake and exhaust. Of course, I do cheat and have a red light and siren. It's good to sit in the big chair.<P>Hope to catch you guys down there.<P>Zippy

Woohoo<P>Definitely something to think about! Gives me an excuse to lose a few that I gained back after the "diet". I had a definite bikini bod last year, OMG where did it go. Well, this is the perfect excuse to get it back. You all sounded like you had such a good time in Nashville - this sounds very tempting. It seems like there's so many of us from that area and it would be great to meet more of you all - maybe I can persuade Trying to pop in (I think she doesn't live too far away.)<P>Kids and dogs and money could be a problem tho. I'm in the same boat as Cinderella, need to find a job, and/or move back to Illinois - so I'm not sure which I'll be doing at the time.<P>I'll keep it in mind and see what's shaking a little more down the road.<P><P>------------------<BR><BR>Kathy

Ok guys!<P>I missed Nashville but I'll be damned if I'm gonna miss VA Beach!! Count me in!! Hell, I'll even ask for my vacation time at work right now!! LOL <P>And it's not that far from me! I think about 6 hours! Definately short enough to drive! Anyone that's close to me is more than welcome to ride along! <P>But, sorry guys! I refuse to wear a bikini!! LOL LOL<P>Mitzi

Oh,<P>I just realized that I couldn't possibly go anywhere without my munchkins. They deserve a vacation since they couldn't possibly remember the last one and they've been thru hell, so if I plan anything this summer, it's gonna be with my guys.<P>But y'all have another blast. <P><P>------------------<BR><BR>Kathy

OOOOOhhhhh Zippy!<P>Ya know.......about the racing and the Red Rocket? I think that was a Dare from sWifty there.<P>What do you think? Yeah,uh huh...it was!<P>After what I found out tonight,this trip is getting more and more interesting.Gonna be a new experience!!! <P>Gina <P>------------------<BR>"If we deny love that is given to us,if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss,then our lives will be empty,our loss greater!"-----Anonymous----

Hey Kath,<P>Bring the kids along, it will be a blast, believe me. They can help me make a great big sand castle. I don't hurt children, well, not anymore. Not since the therapy. There is so much to do and see in VA Beach. They would love it and so would you.<P>YOOOO Mitzi!!!<P>Not going to wear a bikini? Now we're talking party. I heard you were a hottie, didn't know that you were as wild as I am thou.<P>And dearest Gina,<P>I know that you have not felt well lately. I have something that will make you better!!! POOP! Did I say that out loud? It's taking the red medicine, I swear.<P>Looking to have a great time in VA<P>The Pinhead

Kathy.... bring the kiddos along... they can babysit Zippy while the rest of us have fun. <P>Mitz... Ya Hoo!! I'm with ya on the bikini, it's a 4 letter word to my way of thinking! Now I'll have another partner in crime when it comes time to take the speedo pictures! <P>ZipBoy.... <BR>That sounds like a challenge to me! I'll be healed by then... if not, I'll fake it!! And don't even go there on the bikini thing.<P>Gina.... Bring along the leash. Oh, and how is Your knee?? I think the boy is dangerous. I'll bring a first aid kit this time.<P>sWIFTTy... A race...OHHHHH where do I place my bet?? <P>Ok, so how about Twister in the sand??? <P>Smooches,<BR>Grace/Busty/Butterfly

Zippy,<P>Uh-oh! I shoulda known you would think I was gonna go nude! LOL Oh well! If it gets more people there...! LOL LOL <P>You heard I was a hottie?? Now, who've you been talking to?? <P>Butterfly,<P>You bet you got a partner in crime!!! I missed NV and there's no way I'm gonna miss this get together!! Get those cameras ready!! <P>Mitzi

Well - things are looking up. Ditto - no bikini for me, either!! I don't do the suntan thing, either (don't want to look like shoe leather). Don't worry though, I'll get a fake tan so I won't blind everyone with my fair celtic complexion!!! Well, at least I have time to lose the ten pounds I've been meaning to take off. Hello, Dr. Atkins!!! I'm glad it's at a good time - in July I'm gone to Spain for 2 weeks. Medic - just let us know when and where, and I'll be there!!

You're scaring me off!<P>The other question is of denaro - I'd love to bring the boys. But sand castles are for babies - my guys are into skateboarding, skooters, anything with wheels. They'd probably show you big guys a few things! We'll see how this goes. I do have a timesharing thingy where I can see if there's anything available there at the time and it'll cost $250 total for a week. But then I wouldn't be staying at the same place as you guys (but at least my kids would be safe!).<P>------------------<P>Kathy<p>[This message has been edited by weirded out (edited February 12, 2001).]
