It's official: I'm comin' to Sunshine 'fest!

WWSis

In December, I came in from a day of hunting, to be sure I was on-line in time to buy tickets and make hotel reservations! This, not really knowing whether we'd be able to pull it off, with work, life, etc! :blink: Today, I was able to make air/car/kennel reservations. So, we will be arriving in Sanford on Wednesday night, spending the night, then off to Melbourne on Thursday morning until Monday! I am very excited to meet new eggers and hang out with my brother WW, his wife and my nephew, as they are all going too... happy, happy day!

Good news Julia. Sanford is only about 20 minutes north of Orlando airport. Look forward to seeing you there.

Little Steven

That's great to hear Julia.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

You da man!

Jupiter Jim

Oh yea, Iron Loney Chef Jim :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

WWSis

Pat, we actually got a great DIRECT flight (hard to go direct anywhere from here!) from Plattsburgh, NY. Anything out of Burlington was minimum of two connections, and 10 hour trip - Delta, USAir, Continental... We will hop on the 11 minute ferry (time for cocktail! )across Lake Champlain to Plattsburgh, about a three hour flight, and we'll be there! It looks simple to get from Sanford to Melbourne.

WWSis

Steven, same back...it'll be fun!

WWSis

LOL! See you there! I freak when I misplace my cell, so I was happy to be to chief investigator and finder! haha

WWSis

Jim, look forward to meeting you too! What kind of dog is that in your pic there?

FlaPoolman

It is Julia, almost all highway driving and not much traffic. Call me if you want directions or need anything.

WWSis

Pat, I will, thank you. Given that we won't be able to check into the hotel until afternoon (and we'll be getting there early) we're hoping to find a place to spend some time outside...not sure what the weather will be, but over 50 works for us this time of year!

Julia:

Just be careful of that FlaPoolman . . .

I find it hard to remember what it was like before cell phones.

I don't know what I'd do without one.

There should already be a few at the Crowne by then. As for the weather it's a little chilly right now but it's steadily climbing to postcard weather by fest time. Here's the 10 day forecast http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/32935
And no I won't steal your beer just the ice :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know found it on the computer somewhere.
But I have a very Manley dog, her name is MollyJ and she is a whopping 6.5 lb Papillion. I would post a picture but staying away from photo bucket.
Jupiter Jim

WWSis

LOL! It looks a little like a st Bernard, so I was wondering if you had one...NOT!! Haha I have a new puppy st. and I'm guessing his tail weighs more than your sweet little papillon! He weighed 82 pounds today at the vet; he will be six months in two weeks!

Jupiter Jim

Even at 82 lbs he is still qute

If you have time to kill, check out your local dealer at 284 E Eau Gallie Blvd., Publix shopping center, only a mile or so from the hotel.

Jupiter Jim

The best stocked Egg store I have ever been in. Dan has all the BGE goodies.
