Our get together this year...

I just want to do a sanity check for everyone about us getting together later this year. I am all for it but I have a couple of restrictions for myself.

1) I know that I am going to be tight on money since we are taking 4-5 vacations this year. Most are just weekend camping trips but that can cost $200+ with gas and food for us. In Oct (the month after our get together) we are going to Disneyland again for Halloween. We did this last year and it was a blast...it was also about $900+ not including tickets. My point is that I will have enough money to go camping for 3-5 days up in Utah but that may be about it. I will pay for the campsites and most of the gas since you guys all have to pay to get here I don't.

2) I don't really drink (maybe one beer every 3-6 months) so I won't be getting drunk. I don't think you guys will care but I just want to put that out there. You guys are free to party on...it won't bother me. Heck, I will be the DD if you want to go bar hopping here in Vegas.

3) I will only be able to take about 5 days of leave but if you add the weekends in there that is 9 days off. Of course, with military leave, I have to be in Vegas for the weekends but that is fine if we go camping during the week.

That is about it. I just want to get what is on my mind out there so everyone knows what I am expecting. What are you guys thinking? Let's all be honest and REALISTIC (money wise) with what you guys want. If you don't even want to go camping then that is fine but it is probably the cheapest activity that we can do for 4-5 days. Post what you guys are thinking and then we can call 007 and see what is on his mind.

Also, I want to make sure that everyone is really going to make it. Mungo will be out of the military so money might be a consideration there. Eddie is in big K so his leave might be a consideration there. 007 can be a bit flakey but he swears that he is going to be here and already has the money for tickets. 007 also said that he will be on a tight budget too...I am sure we all will.

Okay, I am done rambling. Let's hear what you are thinking so we can all get on the same track.

Later,

ST
