Rico - if you haven't made hotel reservations yet, don't bother. The person to speak to is off for the next three days. I tried last night.

Thanks Chuck. I was gonna wait till Monday anyway so I'll wait an extra day or so.

I setup a couple of 55's from a flea market with cheapo Magnum canisters and some pc's to put all the stuff in when we get back.

My QT is up, running and waiting.

#3. Chuck and Rico have offered to try to bring oxygen tanks to package the stock collected.

#4. I will have the packing boxes.

#5. I figured we could get situated on Friday and collect if there was time. Cook out at the beach.

#6. Sat morning - McDonalds

#7. Sat morning - collect in 3 different spots. 3 different ecosystems.

#8. Lunch - sandwiches since we will be busy.

#9. All 3 locations are family friendly (i.e. kids and family can play at the beach while we collect) except 1.

#10. Collected stuff held at Cuddlefish's house.

#11. Sunday - Breakfast and a LFS or collecting.

More details to follow...............

Is this still the plan? We may leave Saturday night and head to Jacksonville to visit my Grandma on Sunday morning before we head back to the mountains. She is not doing so well, just had a pacemaker and defibrilator placed in her chest, but we are definitely on for Friday and Saturday. We are actually going to come down Thursday since Chuck lives so close, that way we can be well rested for the drinkfest, I mean "cook-out", Friday.

Any last minute requests,ideas, or needs/wants that we can do/help with?

Kinda gettin' excited here. A whole weekend without any of our kids. Might just have to chase Momma around the hotel room...

[ChuckG]

I was thinking about coming in on Thurs night to get some practice cooking in.

[ricosuave]

Know any good "establishments" for dining Thursday night?

Priorities for dining:
1.) Bar
2.) Outdoor Bar(in case first one runs dry or I stagger outside)
3.) Be next door to an ABC store(again, in case second bar runs dry also)
4.)(and this item is not so important)food


Did I miss anything?
