I'll do it tomorrow, Mon, so we can be definite.<P>I was talking to our F/O last night, and he mentioned some airlines that give industry discount at the rate of $50 a sector...... Yippeeeee, I can do this, I can do this.<P>Joey can come out to play.......<P>Now, my next hurdle is getting ex to have the children while I'm away...... hmmmmmm, that could be Tuesday's job.<P>This is so exciting, can't wait. <P>BTW Gina, I happened to 'mention' that you gave me medics cc number. Sorry. I went to Noosa, bought some jewellery, a new spa and finally a dishie....., hope he won't be toooo angry with us.<P>please let me know<P>hugs to you both<P>Jo

Uh oh, you guys sound serious I have a feeling VA Beach will never be the same. Now, if I can only figure out a way to actually be here when all of you show up <P>BTW, last time I checked, thongs were not allowed on the beach (except on your feet). Remember, this is Pat Robertsons enclave. You get caught having fun on the beach here & there's a stiff penalty to be paid, so no grinning <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Hey Nick!<P>You better be there! <P>No thongs?? Well, count me out! I'm not trying to find another bathing suit! <P>Mitzi

Does this mean I can't wear my thong???????<P>

Hey Gang,<P>Bill,<P>You can wear your thong, just that the girls can't!!! <P><BR>And yes Nick,<P>This is for real. G and my room are already booked. I will be sitting my fat [censored] down enjoying the sand and surf in June.<P>Wishing us all the Best,<P>Zippy

Hey, does this place have a hot tub? <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

'cause mine only seats 2...<P>OK, I've got an OP laid on in the middle of this shindig & it's my week with my son, so if y'all (that's southern for all of you) are really coming out, I need to make some plans. Need some ground support "in country"? Let me know. Logistics are critical in these MB assaults Too bad we're in a culinary black hole.<P>Me & the kid are heading down to the beach today, so I'll recce the boardwalk & let you know what I find. Now I just need to calibrate my thong detector..... <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Oh no thongs......then I guess we have to go naked.<BR>aloha, cl

I think I'll have to leave my ID at home for this one <P>Have to go as pure (ok, not so pure) tourist to get the full MB at the beach effect <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Whining....whinnnnniiiinnnngggg...<P>We on the west coast want to play too! Not enough room on the credit card to pay the lawyer, replace the fridge (stbx got the old one) AND fly to VA Beach....whinnnnnniiiinnngggg.<P>I'll just have to sit here and picture all you single men in thongs (*giggle*) playing beach volleyball while the women lounge in their size 6 bikinis and drink those little umbrella drinks. (Hey it's my dream and we can fit size 6s if I say we can!)<P>Hot tubs! Oh geezzzzz! And Nick will have already done the boardwalk recon so all the best culinary/beverage places will be mapped out with distances, ETA's, etc.<P>I am GREEEENNNN with envy! <P>Lisa <P>

Tim & Gina, I will let you know by the middle of <BR>May. I have some traveling to do during the first week of<BR>May , and will let you know after that!<P>i officially retire this friday, and <BR>X is scheduled to have the kids that week, but<BR>it depends on how my travel plans go!<P>wish me luck, <BR><p>[This message has been edited by WhenIfindthetime (edited April 12, 2001).]

I've got the Boardwalk pretty much recce'd, but I'll have to make some follow ups just to make sure they don't sneak anything new in on us. As a matter of fact, I'll probably do a fly by this weekend just to be on the safe side. <P>All the drinking & dining establishments are pretty much equal, nothing really stands out, but I'll keep looking.<P>Hmmmm boat drinks with lots of fruit & umbrellas? Wacky MBers on the loose in sleepy ol' VA Beach? Thongs? I sure hope Pat Robertson doesn't get wind of this <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again<p>[This message has been edited by c00ker (edited April 13, 2001).]
