[ec-nasty]

[levey]

Depends on the location. But I am interested.

[TheTrader]

PEI would be awesome.... an overnight at a campground would kick-ass

[2001GAGT]

[sunrunner_pei]

Don't have to wait, but a fall meet on PEI has been discussed several times. If you want to do one elsewhere sooner, that's fine by me. :)

[99GrandAMSE]

... if we are going to do something in PEI, I would prefer before fall as the last time we were there in the fall, there asn't a whole bunch to do IMO and it was kind of cold :(

[2001GAGT]

Good point Kelly, but on the other hand it was REALLY late in the fall when we did that one. Plus if it is out of season things are cheeper. :lol:

Edit. I just check we had in Oct 18-19. Was kinda late that time.

[Dboucher]

Hey, I would be interested depending on location/date. Keep me posted.

[guyl]

Hello all

I would love to go too. Hope you don't mind a Toyota Corolla in the mix...

Salut!

[99GrandAMSE]

... sure :)

[sunrunner_pei]

You're always welcome, Guy, no matter what you drive. :)

[Dboucher]

Whats going guys, should get some dates so I can request time off in advance and have the time to save up some penny's not to be stuck in PEI. :P

[JMILLS]

Ha Ha Ha... I posted about setting up a fall meet and NO ONE RESPONDED....


ok, ok, ok so I posted it in the Central Canada forums.... oops.

I'm game as long as we can set a date soon.

I may be there on a 10-speed... or maybe a little red wagon.

[sunrunner_pei]

We can tow ya, Jason. :)

[TheTrader]

Trina starts a new job next week, so I will wait to see what her hours are before I post a prefered date.... but as long as it is not the 22-23-24 of September I will probally be ok with it...

[sunrunner_pei]

OK guys, let's start off by posting what dates you CAN'T make it. I think just about any weekend is good with me, and we have the Sept dates that Dan mentioned. Probably better to narrow dates down this way. :)

good call.... and the long weekend as well... my parent are coming to visit that weekend, and its our 2 year anniversary (Trina & I)... so, my dates and cat do are Sept 2, 3, 4 & 22, 23, 24

[levey]

It's difficult to nail down any dates, as my job locations and dates can be crazy at best. I think it's safe to assume that I will be free for most weekends.
Actualy...The weekend of Sept 16 is my Birthday, so I know I'm free that weekend.
PS. As I've mentioned before. Don't expect much out of my car in the looks department. It's a daily driver, and I'm not any where near as dedicated to it as most of you guys.

[sunrunner_pei]

The weekend of Sep 16 is the only one I can't do, as that is Karen & I's wedding anniversary. :)

[levey]

Darn. I was pushing hard for the 16th. Actualy.... I was hoping for a couple free beers on my birthday. :lol:
Any other weekend is good for me. But...where?

Those are the same weekends I can't do.

Looks like it'll be 8-9-10 F:teh:W :D

Shawn, what the best place I should be looking at to stay?

as far as I know right now, the 8-9-10 should work for me!

I was planning on camping on the island somewhere.... Shaun, got any spare lawn space?? lol

[sunrunner_pei]

So Sep 8,9,10? Is that cool with everyone else? Kelly? Jason? Greg? Bent? Amanda? Guy? Owen? Brent? Dennis? Anyone else?

I guess it depends on what you're looking for, Ben? The last PEI meet we rented cabins, and I think that worked out well, except for the collapsable chair. ;)

Lawn space is the one thing I have plenty of!!! My home is sitting on a 1/2 acre lawn. :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

OK, if those dates are good, it's time to decide what kind of accomodations. For previous PEI meets we have doen the hotel/motel thing, we've campted, and we've rented cabins. What would everyone like to do this year?

[JMILLS]

I'm up for cheap... if I can make it, I have to check our work schedule and figure out a vehicle.

[sunrunner_pei]

The Mistake is welcome, Jason. :)

[Gimli]

I'd rather not do the camping thing, considering I'll be flying in I'm not too exited about carrying a bunch of camping gear around. I wouldn't mind sharing rooms or suites (or cabins) somewhere close, sort-of like what we do for Albany.

How far is Charlottetoen from your place Shawn?

[sunrunner_pei]

Ben, everything on PEI is close. :lol: My hose is 30 minutes (50KM) from the airport. My mom's house is literally a 2 minute drive to the airport, your plane will fly directly over her roof, and probably rattle her dishes. :lol:

I'd be up for the cabins again. I can understand Ben's reluctance to camp, and Kelly probably wouldn't want to either. :)

[Gimli]

Kelly and I can rent a cabin and you guys camp on the front lawn, how does that sound? :lol:

Oh and Shawn, 30 minutes is pretty far after an extended game of drunk Monopoly... ask Beth!

[sunrunner_pei]

But I wasn't drunk this year! :lol:

[Gimli]

Is there a website or something for these cabins you're talking about?

This place looks nice: http://www.krazymoose.com/kmpe1035.asp

[sunrunner_pei]

Ben, there are literally dozens of cottages to choose from. I can make some calls to get good rates again if people are interested. :)

[TheTrader]

depending on the rate, I may be interested in getting a room in a cottage for Trina & I... Albany has left me a bit tapped out :P but it was soooooo worth it!! actually... the expenses were not as bad as I thought... I spent only 160 bucks CAD on gas for the trip.. I am still running half a tank of Calis Maine gas in it!!

if you could Shawn, check out some cottage rates for us.. I think a cottage setting would kick-ass.... and ask about camping in the same place you find the cottages... cause Trina & I like cheap, and we dont mind tenting!!

[JMILLS]

Please tell me that was supposed to be 160 CAD. Otherwise that is a hell of a lot of gas. I'm all for splitting a cabin with someone if I can make it. I forgot to check my work schedule today.

[JMILLS]

... and it is spelt Mystake...

[99GrandAMSE]

... I'd love to go fellas but I can't go the first (2nd-3rd) or the second weekend (9th-10th) as to be honest, I simply cannot afford it being it is so close to Albany ... that, and I may not be back in time from NFLD taking Krysi to University ... the ONLY way it would work for me would be later in the month or October ... so far, I have read, somewhere here that the 3rd and 4th weekends are no good for other so that almost kills September ... guess I'll probably have to stay home :tears: unless we can decide on some other dates.

Well, we cant have a meet without you Kelly !! how about the 30th - 1st?

[99GrandAMSE]

I don't think there is a problem with me on either the 23rd or the 30th but I might be in the minority :(

[Gimli]

29th-1st would work for me...

Hey, Kelly, if you can't go that weekend, we could always get together in Halifax somewhere and have a couple of beers in honour of those on the island...

I'll be in Halifax on the 23rd, so we could do something that weekend, but PEI could be done the 30th I am pretty sure

[99GrandAMSE]

Make sure you call me when you're here Dan and we can have a few beer at the house if you want ... maybe go out for some chocolate (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

[TheTrader]

oh god.... no chocolate please!!! we are still eating the 4 bags from Times Square....

that weekend is my birthday weekend... you see, my dad turns 50 on the 20th and I turn 25 on the 27th, so mom is having a party for us the weekend in between :)

If all goes according to plan I will be down on friday morning, as I asked for that day off from work... just dont know about Trina.

-Daniel

[99GrandAMSE]

Coincidence ... my Mom turns ?? (she'd kill me if I told you) on the 20th and my Dad turns 60 on the 27th ... cool huh? ... whenever you're here, give me a shout and we'll at least have a coffee :)

[TheTrader]

thats pretty freakin cool !!... Trinas Dad's birthday is actually right in the same area too... the 25th!!

[JMILLS]

Negative for me on the weekend of the 8th. There are other people from our company on vaction the week before and monday following wo I wouldn't be able to get any time off. Also there is a fire muster in our area that weekend that I should attend. But do not change plans on my account, my time is pretty hectic this time of year. That and my funds are a little strapped getting ready for winter.

As for the 30th, I am scheduled to be oncall that weekend, but may be able to switch things around if things were set in stone soon.

[TheTrader]

hmmmmmm... anyone wana carve some dates in stone?? I am cool with the 30th.....

[sunrunner_pei]

30th works for me. Roll call?

[JMILLS]

I'm out for the 30th, sorry guys. Beth just informed me that she has her final class that weekend for some certification she is getting for her job.

[sunrunner_pei]

:banghead: :doh:

[sunrunner_pei]

Any weekends you can make it, Jason?

...unfortunately that next weekend is Thanksgiving up here so I don't think it'd be good for many people (although I am free).

Yeah, me too :D

[TheTrader]

Yeah, me too :D

ohhhhhh yea... cant book anything on "Turkey Day"...

[2001GAGT]

I am good for weekends just give me notice and if I work it that can be changed, I can easily switch with a co-worker if he is welling. My only request is that we don't have it as late as we did last time.

[99GrandAMSE]

... I am still OK as noted above :)

[JMILLS]

Looks like I won't make this one unfortunetly. Because the next available weekend for me that hasn't had any other conflicts would be October 22nd, which is probably too late in the year for most.

[TheTrader]

so, unfortunately it looks like Jason cant make it for any dates.... so, does anyone else wana "carve a date in stone" for the weekend of the 30th??

Jason: Want me to mail you the radio we mistakenly swapped?

[99GrandAMSE]

... I don't have an trouble with October if that is better for everyone ... I also don't have a problem with September 30th area either :)

[sunrunner_pei]

Sep 30 is fine by me, but I'd like to do all we can to include Jason & Beth. :( It wouldn't be the same without them. October is fine with me, but it will be harder to find cottages (Not impossible though).

Same here. Like I said earlier if we can't get a cottage we could always rent a large suite in a hotel, once the tourist season is over that shouldn't be too expensive.

mee to, and october is fine by me, fall is my all-time favourite season!!

[TheTrader]

come on folks.... any more thoughts on good dates in October???? Jason? Ben?.. whats October look like for you guys ?

[JMILLS]

Well in October, my available weekends are the 8th-10th and the 22nd-24th. But I know there is that Thanksgiving thing in the way for you guys.

No matter what day you pick I will attempt to make arrangements, but I wouldn't expect me to be able to make it except on those weekends.

[Gimli]

Like I said, I'm available almost all of the weekends that have been discussed. I just need a firm date to start making arrangements...

[TheTrader]

how about October 21 - 22 weekend?? sound good??

[Gimli]

Originally posted by TheTrader

Works for me...

[Dboucher]

Arg always forget to check this thread, if you guys can get a set date I can request those days off in advance to make it. Any idea where exactly its going to be at?

[TheTrader]

ok boys & girls, we need to do some stone carving here....

I say October 21 - 22 weekend...

lets all agree on a date then we can plan the rest (cottages, etc)

Kelly, Jason... whats the word?? you guys cool with that date??

[JMILLS]

I'm as good as I will be for that weekend.

[levey]

Wow. It's gonna be freezing by that time.
Oh well.

[TheTrader]

wuss... wear a coat :P

[Dboucher]

Sounds good, il put in a request for those days off. Now need to know where its going to be at :D.

[sunrunner_pei]

Alright! The date is set! October 21 - 22, on PEI. Sorry for the delay, but we're trying to get this on a date where most people can make it.

I think the plan was to try for cabins again, I need a total of who wants cabins so I can know how many we need to book. Availability shouldn't be too much of an issue, but many cabins will be closed for the season by then.

Any area you guys want in particular? Cavendish again? Or Brackley?

[Gimli]

I just need a bed. A shower would be nice too. Maybe a door on the shower.

[sunrunner_pei]

You gonna be able to make it, Ben?

[TheTrader]

I would like to know the price of the cabins before I say yay or nay.... if to pricey I will just throw a tent in the yard of one of your cabins :P

[Gimli]

Originally posted by sunrunner_pei

I'm pretty sure I will. Pending some unforeseen circumstance like not being able to get a flight or something.

[sunrunner_pei]

I can call around to get some prices. I got a list of cabins that should be open for our dates, and their phone #s, including the cabins we stayed in for the 2004 PEI meet.

[Gimli]

Flight's booked, I'm coming in to Charlottetown on Friday (20 OCT) at 1810 on WestJet flight 196 and leaving on Sunday (22 OCT) at 1845 on WestJet 703.

Gotta lova AirMiles :D

[TheTrader]

woo-woo, should be a good time :)

[sunrunner_pei]

Awesome Ben!!!

Went for a drive around Cavendish tonight, and took some pics.

[RedGrandAm2003]

hey guys, just seen the post on the main page--I happen not to have a job at the moment, and applied everywhere... yet no job? doesn't make sense but yeah, I'll have to pass unless something major changes. Then again, I'm pretty scarce around here since I left for the states a couple months ago, so its not like it matters lol. Hope you all have a great time tho! :)

[JMILLS]

All we need is a bed and a bathroom... seperate bedrooms are nice, but we are just trying to do this trip as cheap as possible.

[Dboucher]

Yeah, interested in going depending on price. Wouldn't be so bad if they would stop hiking up the bridge toll. Too bad they don't have group rates :lol:.

[alegar001]

WOW a meet! wish I could attend. Where is going to be at. and what is PEI, lol. :roll2:

:lol: :drunkard:

[TheTrader]

I like the "Swept Away Cottages"

Executive 3 bedroom
Cottages 5 & 6
(Max. 8 guests) $149/night

I wouldnt mind splitting one of those up with a few people, would be an awesome setup for drinking & monopoly playing!!

[sunrunner_pei]

The Swept Away cottages are by far the nicest, and probably the most expensive. If people wanted to share the costs of 1 or 2 cottages, that'd be cool! We stayed at 'Dreams to Sea' last time. :)

[JMILLS]

Kinky.... you don't know the half of it..... :lol:

[Gimli]

Well, I'm there from Friday 'till Sunday so that's two nights for me. It's ok if you can only afford to stay one night, I'll cover the difference.

[TheTrader]

I may do 2, depends on the situation here, what Trina is working & such... we shall see :)

[JMILLS]

I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but I am thinking I will be heading in Friday and out Sunday.

[JMILLS]

Well I'm in a tuff spot right now, trying to figure out the finances. Seems that unfortunetly I have to go to La Romana (Dominican Republic) on the 5th of November (All Inclusive, Paid For) so I gotta figure out what I will need for spending cash etc. But I am still trying to plan on doing both trips.

[alegar001]

Prince Edward Island wow thats only 1600 mile from here! Hmm I think your right that would be a heck of a drive. Someone kill a beer for me ;) Hope you folks have a great meet.

-peace :D

[sunrunner_pei]

Need a pick-up at the airport, Ben? I can drive by and scoop ya up. :)

[Gimli]

If you don't mind. That way I can get drunk on the flight over and stay drunk until I fly out :D

[sunrunner_pei]

:roflmfao: :toast:

[99GrandAMSE]

... shouldn't be a problem for me ... only issue that I have is that my car is "usually" put away around then so if the weather is bad or going to be bad while we're supposed to be there the car won't be with me ... either way, Paula and I will be there 'some time' early Saturday morning and leave on Sunday (sorry guys, can't handle staying away more than one night due to cash flow and 2-dogs) ... see you there!! :)

[rocknron]

I would luv to go during my Vaccation (Sept) but for now...looks like i be tryin to find a new ride in the next 30 days..... might not be any $$$ left over...

[2001GAGT]

I should be able to make it. Thinking I will be doing the Friday night Saturday night, leaving Sunday like a few years ago, might be able to come over midday Friday Shawn will get back to you on that. Anyone from Moncton thinking the same time want to caravan over? Jason If you wanted to get to my area and ride along with me to save you some money you are more then welcome.

Be warned I am thinking my car might be away by then so it may be the Jimmy, I will let you know for sure if I am coming in a few days.

[rocknron]

LOL...Thanks for the offer Greg, But me and da lil woman are the kinda people who get really uneasy when one of us is NOT DRIVING...lol... if ya know what i mean? Besides, I couldn't go for a GA Meet and not bring my own GA !!! hahahaa

Things are starting to look a lil better though...but we'll have to wait and see for now.
Again, Thanks for the offer though

[rocknron]

oooops....sorry Greg....guess I've been away for a long time...but...THought you were talking to me (Jason also) lol....

If you aren't bringing the car....I'm not going. Well....Unless you promise to show it to me one day. I'll even let you pick me up, blind fold me, and take me to the secret location. :lol:

That's the only way I'm going. :lol:

PS. I was lucky enough to meet Kelly a few days ago. Super nice guy... if I do say so myself. I knew he was a nice guy. But...I never realized how down to earth the guy is. I mean....He saw my car in a parking lot... and he took the time to come over to introduce himself. We didn't have long to talk, as I would have liked. But we were both busy. (understandable)
In any case...Can't wait to get to know the guy better. If that's any kind of incentive to get involved.....please come to the maritimes meet.

Yea... Kelly is awesome, and so am I!! come meet us all !! :D

[levey]

Actually. The one person I am most looking forward to meeting is Gimli. He called me a spammer a while back, and we have to talk about that.

Nahhh. I'm just kidding. He's prolly cool. If Kelly and Shawn think he is cool.....he has to be. I'm looking forward to meeting him.

[2001GAGT]

Ok now I know there are two Jasons. :lol:

HAHA ... nice to meet you as well ... not sure about bringing the car yet but we'll see what the weather has in store ... hell, I could bring the Honda :lol:

[JMILLS]

Greg, we are still tryings to figure out when we would be heading up/back... do you know when you plan on heading to the Island and back.

[2001GAGT]

I pretty easy going. I was thinking heading of Friday and back Sunday.

[JMILLS]

Yeah right now we are thinking of leaving early Friday and heading north, then leaving Sunday to be home by 8 or 9 PM at the latest.

[JMILLS]

Well... that sucks...

My wife just called me from work to tell me that the weekend she told me she was free is actually the weekend that she needs to take a final exam for a class for her job. This doesn't mean that I won't make is, but it sure does suck. I am trying to decide if I will make the trek alone. or not.

traveling alone does suck ass... but we are a good crew, we will make it worth your while!! lol come get drunk on the island !!:)

[2001GAGT]

I am not going untill Friday night after work anyway

[sunrunner_pei]

Not being there early Friday is OK, but it sucks that Beth can't make it. :(

[99GrandAMSE]

... I won't be there until Saturday morning anyway :( ... do we have to 'book' a place to stay? ... have we decided where?

[sunrunner_pei]

I think we decided on Swept Away cottages. And yes, we'll need to book 'em. :)

[99GrandAMSE]

That isn't the same place we stayed before is it? I don't care but I am just curious ... how much as we talking here as I think that I over looked the prices somewhere in here :lol:

[Gimli]

Let me know if you want me to book Shawn, I may be able to book government prices if they have such a thing ;)

[sunrunner_pei]

Thanks Ben. :) Kelly, no, not the same place. This place seems much nicer than last time, and should be bigger. Sleeps more people, anyway. :zzz:

[99GrandAMSE]

I'm confused ... what are the plans? ... sharing? ... who with whom?

[sunrunner_pei]

See, this is what happens when you dissapear for a month. :lol:

The plan was to try to do this meet on the cheap. Most of us are broke. Anyways, the cottages posted in this thread sleep 8 people for $150/night. We were thinking about stuffing as many into a cabin as possible before renting a second one. Check back a few pages for the pics of the cottages and the discussion on this. :)

[99GrandAMSE]

Oh :( ... I can understand "broke" (Krysi is in University, remember :lol: :D) ... sorry fellas, this type of accommodation sharing doesn't really interest either Paula or myself (totally my fault and has nothing to do with anyone attending but rather, a "personal preference") ... anyway, unless there "individual" rooms or smaller cottages available at the same place, I'll probably "pass" on the whole meet as like I mentioned, I am not overly interested in doing the whole "everyone in a single cottage and drinking" thing ... I apologize for raining on the parade and for possibly encouraging you to change the date in the beginning so I could attend but honestly, I did not know this was the plan.

[Gimli]

Oh come on Kel, you know us better then that... We just overplay the whole drinking thing, we're old now... For me 2-3 beers is a heavy drinking night :)

[99GrandAMSE]

... that is the thing, I "do" know you guys :lol:

[TheTrader]

Hey Kelly.... the cottage we are looking at is an executive 3 bedroom, that they allow a max of 8 guests in.... for 149 a night...

Since you & I will only be showing on Saturday morning, (me possibly friday night, but I dont know yet) you wana go splits on one of the standard 2 bedroom cottages at 79 a night??? 2 bedrooms..... and the other big "executive" cottage will be the party / drinking cottage :)

let me know... I am flexable!!

[99GrandAMSE]

... I'll talk to Paula Dan, thanks :)

[2001GAGT]

I don't know what I will be doing at this point. I wanted to go over Friday so I would be there all Day saturday. You have to remember this is a 5hr drive for me so in order to get there at a good time sat. I need to leave really early, and after a long trip like that I get kinda sleepy what fun I would be Saturday. Thats why I wanted to go Friday, but as it stands now I will not get away until 6-6:30 friday night.

[99GrandAMSE]

3-3.5 hours for me ... I'd say have a couple coffee on the way but you can't have those :(

[2001GAGT]

We'll see what I do. Sill have some time. Also I am trying to save money have somthing I want to spend it on next year. :D

[JMILLS]

I'm out... too much going against me for this trip that I had to cave in and say I just can't make it. Sorry Guys.

:tears:

[Gimli]

That's too bad Jason... we'll make sure to have a few for you and Beth... :sad2:

[Dboucher]

Yeah its looking grimm for me too. They scheduled me to work and I doubt il be able to get it off. You can almost count me out for sure. Guess il have to wait for moncton 07 :(.

[TheTrader]

Well.... I hate to do this, but I actually have to call it off too.... Trina & I just signed the lease on a new Apartment that will cost significantly more then where we are at, and I need to save the money.

We did this for safety reasons & also for the extra space & newness factor... one of our neighbours was held up at gun point about 2 weeks ago... I was here, in the hall when it happened... I saw the gun, I witnessed the fight, and had to give a police statement and the whole works.... that night I bought a baseball bat & 3 extra door locks.... anyway... that, on top of the hall way allways stinking like weed, the muddy parking lot, single washer & dryer for the whole building, WWII era building age... etc...

the new place is a 2 bedroom, with storage, a dishwasher, nice patio, tile & laminate floor, the whole works.... and the best part... a awesome security setup... camers on all the doors & the laundry room, that you can see on the TV :)

anyway... looks like this meet is going down the tubes pretty quick... :( sorry guys, I hate to do it, but I just cant spare the $$ for it.

[99GrandAMSE]

:( ... but, understandable Dan!!

So who is left going now? Paula and I would still like to come over Saturday and come back Sunday. What is the name of the place we are staying at again? Anyone know if they allows pets? Also, if someone could tell me the telephone number (hint, Shawn :D) I would call and make a reservation for Paula and me :)

[Gimli]

I'm still going. Got the airfaire reserved, I'll sleep on Shawn's porch if I have to :D

[sunrunner_pei]

That'd be great Ben, if I actually had a porch. :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]

... you have a deck, that will be good enough :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

Yeah, Ben can sleep under it. :lol:

[Gimli]

Bah, I'll BUILD you a porch! :D

[99GrandAMSE]

"Build a porch and they will come"

:roflmfao:

[sunrunner_pei]

Alright, so what's our final # of people coming? Will one cabin suffice, or will you and Paula want your own, Kel?

[99GrandAMSE]

... that is why I was asking who was "still" coming.

[sunrunner_pei]

OK, we gotta get the ball rolling. At the moment let's assume that it will only be me, Karen, Kelly, Paula & Ben going.

Are we going to split a cottage? Or do you want your own cottage, Kel?

I need to know this ASAP so I can get the cottages booked. Or do we call the whole thing off?

[Gimli]

Nice. Now that I can finally make it nobody else is gonna show up? Shawn, are you up for a road trip to go kick some ass?

[TheTrader]

feel free to come for a road trip to Moncton.... just no ass-kicking please... believe me, I want to go, but I simply cant afford the extra expense now :(

[JMILLS]

If I had a car I would be there, I'm sorry guys.

[sunrunner_pei]

No worries, guys. Ben, you're welcome to visit even if noone else shows up.

Jason & Dan, I know you two have done all you can to make it. I wish you could make it, but I understand. Oh well, there's always Moncton in the spring, right? :)

[Gimli]

I understand too, I just find it weird that when I finally show up everyone else drops out. I'm not feeling the love here! :D

[JMILLS]

Fine... I will start walking ben. I should make it up there by then. My job is going down the drain anyway...

Really wish I could make it, I have a new big ol' camera bag with a bunch of stuff Im sure shawn could explain to me... guess I will have to read the book now.

[Gimli]

Hey, I'm flying Westjet... These guys are really nice, maybe I can talk them into making a stop in Maine on the way :D

[99GrandAMSE]

... instead of renting a 'big' cottage, if it is just Ben, Paula and me in it, why don't we simply rent one of the smaller ones? ... they have two bed rooms right? ... one other thing, this place allow Kirby?

[sunrunner_pei]

We'll have to find that out. I'll make some calls tomorrow. :)

[Gimli]

Soooooooooo... How much do I need to Paypal you? :D

[2001GAGT]

There might be a chance that I can make it. Kelly were you still planing on going over Saturday? Were you going to take the fury or the bridge? If you were going over on teh bridge I might meet at Alaca(SP).

[[SV513]]

ah crap now i need to buy another grand am so i can come..

[levey]

^^Yeah...Well. At least they are cheap. :lol:

[[SV513]]

sometimes.. im going to look at one tomorrow. if not ill stick the ga grille on my tempo and you all wont even know..lol j/k

[sunrunner_pei]

Alright, the cottage is booked. For Saturday night only. Kelly & Paula will have one bed, Karen & I the other, and there is a pull-out bed for Ben. Anyone else staying will have to sleep on the couch or on an air mattress.

The biggest 3-bedroom cottages are closed for the season, but this is the best of the rest. $119 for the night.

[Gimli]

Got pics? (I know you do!) :D

[sunrunner_pei]

The cabin on the left in this shot is the cabin we'll be staying in. (#5) :)

[sunrunner_pei]

Exactly why it's a problem. :lol: :toast:

[TheTrader]

did it happen?? how did it go?? any pics ??

[sunrunner_pei]

No pics, but it happened. :) Let's just say we had a good time and even better food. :lol: Karen, Evan and I picked Ben up from the airport on Friday evening. Took a drive around Charlottetown, then at supper at Mike's. Yummy. Ben stayed the night at our place, then we waited for Kelly & Paula to arrive on Saturday morning. We went into Summerside for a quick lunch at Wendy's, then over to Canadian Tire to order some winter tires for our Vibe.

After that, and after my Mom drive up to pick up Evan, we were off to the cottage in Cavendish, with a stop at the grocery and candy stores on the way. We got settled in to the cottage, and made our supper reservation.

At 6:30, we met my sister at Huinter's Ale House for supper. The food was amazing. Well, at least the portions were. We started off with a huge munchie platter. Kelly had the triple bacon burger. Karen had a chicken burger. Jillian had a pile of nachos. I had ribs & chicken. Not sure what Paula got, but Ben's mean was the highlight. A 24 oz steak. And I swear their scales were off, because it was the biggest steak I've seen in my entire life! Not to mention the huge beers. "Hey, I ordered a large"

From there we dropped my sister off at her apartment and continued back to the cottages. With our bellies full, we drank and ate some more while watching a bunch of movies. I funally went to bed at around 2:00am. :zzz:

Woke up Sunday morning, and Karen cooked us breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast, and home fries. Not too bad. We packed up our stuff, and Kelly & Paula headed for home. I decided to take Ben on a little tour, so off to Borden we went to take a look at the Confederation Bridge. A quick stop at my place, then it was off to Charlottetown again. A little tour around the city, then off to Pat & Willy's for a mexican supper. Karen had another chicken burger. I had chicken & bacon quasidillas. And ben had pulled pork fajitas. Oh, and nacho dip to start.

After supper, we dropped Ben off at the airport and went to my Mom's to pick up Evan. Drove home, and got some much needed sleep. :lol:

I think that about sums it up. :)

[99GrandAMSE]

... lots of detail there Shawn :lol: ... you didn't mention the pee breaks :roflmfao:

[sunrunner_pei]

I had to leave you something to coment on. :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]

Thanks ... OK ... I went at about 9:00 AM Sunday

[TheTrader]

wow... quite a weekend :P

I spent the whole weekend lugging car load after car load from one appartment to the other... mostly all moved now... big stuff friday & saturday!! :)
