Hmmm, don't have a lot of vacation days left as I've used most for when we were dealing with mom. However, this turnout looks too good to miss. What days are these?

No real set date. I threw out Aug. 28-30 just because that is the week H is likely to take D for the summer. But I can always find someone to watch her of advanced notice whenever.

Book, I might be holding up with you for the drive from SC! We can pick up Bail on the way and hook up with Blind somewhere, too!

This, of course, assumes I will have vacation time to even go with my new job (no, I don't  have it yet). If not,  then I am there but with one request: we have to rent the same cabin the man I'm married to and OW rented when they went to the Poconos and perform an exorcism.

I can do the Poconos - and it is a better option than NYC pricewise!

My suggestion would be that people who are planning to be there should commit to sending willit the cost of the accommodation which is $237.50 if there are 8 people going. If more show, then I am sure that more rooms could be reserved.

For those of us who need to fly, the sooner I purchase a ticket, the cheaper it is for me.

Perhaps choose a cut off date in about 2 weeks time for people to decide and commit. Summer reservations at those resorts sometimes get filled up.

The weekend of August 28- 30 is the weekend before Labor Day so that might be a really good time.

Thanks, XYZCF,

Whether it is in rooms for 8, 6 or 4, the price is around the same. We would have to figure out how many to each room. Some may only want to share with 1 person. And most would prob want their own bed. The one for 8 sleeps 12 but that is considering double occupancy. If people in that suite wanted own bed, it would prob be 4 or 5 separate beds in there.

I think the one for 8 with kitchen and all would be fun. But that's me. So let's get some input on preferences for:

--Sharing with how many people to a room

--Having own bed

If everyone wants own bed, the price may go up a bit. To maybe $400.

I'm wondering if Menow and Mjölnir would need separate beds.  That could get expensive.

I think we could push two king beds together.

I would want my own bed. I just checked and they have what is called a suite which has two queen beds and for two nights (Aug 28, 29) the cost is $413.73. If two people wished to share a room, that works out to $207.00 each but that doesn't give people a kitchen.

Just a thought so we can really accommodate the number of people who show interest. If more than 8 wish to come or people want their own beds (and I would think most will) there are lots of options.

Me now for own bed...sorry I meant me too.  (Nah must be rubbing off on me)

Have an idea. What if we all got 1 bedrooms, 2 people to a room with 2 queen beds. But...pool an extra $100 together if we get enough people, in order to rent the 3 bedroom loft for our headquarters to meet, cook, play games, talk and eat together.

So with the $207 each that XYZCF found for 1 bedrooms, plus $100 for "LBS headquarters", would be $300 each for the two days! That way, those who want to hang late and make noise or sit and cry in a circle with wine by the fireplace can, and everyone can go to their own rooms when ready or tired. And the early risers can meet there and cook and have breakfast together. I won't be one of those, but will be one of the party animals, so save me some cold pancakes.

I think that is a great idea wilit
