ConfusedCatholicGuy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Arfink, I really think you should run this by your parents before just saying that people can stay over. They get really stressed when you spring things like this on them. I'm not saying that they'll say no (in fact they will probably say yes) but still, run it past them.

ConfusedCatholicGuy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So, perhaps the next step is to tally the people who actually think it's feasible. I know that there are a lot of people out there, like me, who are poor and cannot spend money like what a plane ticket would cost. I'm just lucky that I live nearby. So people should chime in if they think that it is possible instead of just an amesome thing that they cannot do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I would be down with at least stopping by for a day, since its within easy driving distance. Longer would depend on hotel prices/finding a place to stay. But I will at least make an appearance, barring severe weather or major catastrophe.

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I missed something. What time of year are we thinking? I could make it happen. It'd be tight, but I could make it happen... Actually, it might be convenient. DEFINITELY better than TX. Out of curiosity what is with you people? See any pattern here?: Texas in August! Minnesota in December! Anyways, even if this didn't work out, I have plans to meet a couple of you at the March for Life this year, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfink Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well, we're not decided yet. Trisha thought it would be a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTrishaxLynnx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yeah, I'm not sure what in the world is going on with my life right now. lol... A lot of things are up in the air. Until yesterday, that included my head being in the clouds, but I've been grounded since and had to face some realities that I had been choosing to ignore in all my recent excitement. I would love to be [i]living[/i] there in October, but of course I have no idea what's going to happen between now and then; there are tons of 'ifs.' At the very least, I could probably do the same as many of you are planning and fly out for a visit. I think that'd be a great birthday present, which normally I'd never ask for, but if people ask what I want this year I think I'll be a bit less shy because I *really* want to meet any of you who can make it. If another week is better, I can probably pull that off as well, especially if it's at a later date. I know most people are really busy during Christmas break, but I also know that many college students get probably a month or more off from school, so maybe that would work better despite the potential for some nasty weather. Which brings me to accommodations: It would be a good idea, I think, if we get enough people coming to town, to check out the possibility of renting a house in the area for a week. Most that I've seen have fireplaces which would make it super cozy if we do this in late fall/winter. I looked it up and we could sleep 8-12 people (and probably many more if people don't mind sleeping on air mattresses or the floor) in most of the houses that offer weekly rates. If we had 10 people, they would each be paying about the price they would pay for 1-2 nights at a hotel, and if their schedules allowed it, they could stay an entire week. Plus, we'd all get to hang out in one place. Just an idea to consider especially for those of us who don't want to spend lots on airfare just to come out for two days. Once we get a better idea of the date and who can make it, I'll keep an eye out for 'Groupons' and such that might help as well.... for accommodations, places to visit, etc. (Though I'm sure we can find lots of free things to do as well.) Anyway... everybody think on it, pray on it, whatever you need to do, and let us know some times in the next several (6? 8?) months that might work for you so maybe we can work something out.
