Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 02 Sep 11 - 09:48 PM Janie, I sure hope you make it! The two of us sleep so little, surely we could timeshare the same bunk! I am also hoping (looks good) to get my sister Frieda from Durham, NC to join me at the Getaway this year. I am hoping for a chance to introduce you. I know your situation is rocky this year and I totally understand if you must stay home, but I hope you don't mind me holding out hope for you! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 11 - 07:55 PM More important than that last post -Don't forget to bring something to the auction and don't forget to plan on buying something at the auction. All the proceeds from the Getaway auction are used to provide scholarship funds to help people attend who otherwise might not be able to afford the fee. Last year the auction made a bit of a come-back after doing fairly poorly for the 1st 2 years at West River. Let's make that a trend. Even I can't come, I'll try to get something over to Abby (are you listening Abby?) to put in the auction. Items big and small and of all persuasions are welcomed. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" and 99.999999% of items brought over the years I have been involved with auction fall into that category. If it really is trash, however, (and the bar is low,) please trash it. (dirty stuffed or cloth items, broken or filthy toys that you would not allow your own child to handle, the actual dust bunnies from the corners of the closet you cleaned out, stained coasters that are beyond rejuvenation, etc.) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 02 Sep 11 - 06:45 PM Getaway is looking very iffy for me. Still hoping against hope, but won't know until the very last minute. Is it looking like bunks will be available if I don't pre-register but show up and pay at the door? |

I mean, even if KT was coming so I could fire her yet again from BobertsBluesBand was coming I'd still hot be able to pull it off... Even if mah-main-man Amos was coming with that usual gettar case full of righteous California weed was coming it'd still be the same... Sorry, I'll miss ya'll but I have too much on my plate this Fall... Sniff... Bobert |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 05 Aug 11 - 12:34 AM Genie, I'm flying in to Dulles but will arrive Thursday early am. How bout you? C |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 11:59 PM Thanks, Amos and Janie. At this point I probably can redirect to BWI-- Amos, did you mean incoming or outgoing?--and I'd be glad to share a car with you and David. DK if I want to change the arriving flight though, because I have a direct flight (to Dulles) which is a lot less tiring than changing planes. Not sure whether it's still possible for me to change my return flight from RDU to BWI or, if so, jow much longer I have to make the change. Guess, like Ernie, I have to start vacillating soon. (Does Vacillene help that?) Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Janie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 09:54 PM Genie - plans are more than a bit nebulous this early, but check your pms for extended forecast information on ride to NC. |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 04 Aug 11 - 08:32 PM Genie-- if you redirect to BWI we can share a car. David I. is driving from New Jersey this year. LEJ is still vacillating, so I am saving up to buy him a vacillectomy. A |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 07:19 PM Looks like I don't have the option of using my frequent flyer award beyond June, 2012, so I guess I'll be coming to Getaway this year even though I really SHOULD be home working on house repairs. (Oh the sacrifices we folkies make!) |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 04 Aug 11 - 06:59 PM I have a ticket to DC booked and a return from RDU, but that means I will need to find a way from the Getaway to NC. If anyone plans to drive from the Getaway to somewhere within a couple hours of Raleigh, please PM me. I will not have much luggage and can even cut back on what I'd planned if space is an option. It would probably work better for me to come to Getaway next year than this year, but I don't know if my "award" certificate is valid through Oct. 1, 2012. If not, I'd be wasting most of the value of the frequent flyer award by not using it for Getaway this year. (I wish I could come every year like some Getaway addicts do, but my pocketbook says otherwise.) Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 11 - 04:53 PM I'll have you know that ALL my misbehviours are PURELY of the most genteel sort, cheerfully refined and mannerly in a mildly bumptious but perfectly safe way. This is not the way they are planned, but they turn out that way for some reason. Kind of like not-for-profit corporations. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: GUEST,Dani Date: 29 Jul 11 - 03:08 AM Wait, Skarpi... you want us to BEHAVE in your name?! I don't think so.

Perhaps you and Janie and Bobert could come out our way for a weekend sometime, and anyone else who'd want to travel in. Any thoughts? We've got some time in Sept/Oct that's open. best to all, give everyone a howdy from us at the camp. chance |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: MMario Date: 28 Jul 11 - 10:08 AM Where did my response go? I said (in a previous incarnation of this post) But I donwanna! Wanna doit online! Because getting to the PO is a royal pain - and the USPS in it's wisdom has taken away ALL the drop boxes that used to be on my direct route to and from work. You would think that in almost 40 miles; passing through on the main streets of no less then 6 villages there would be ONE mailbox? Nope. Nada. And they wonder why the USPS doesn't make a profit... |

|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 28 Jul 11 - 09:16 AM MMario -- *Sigh* indeed. I was hoping the on line sign-up would work better this year. Last year it worked for some and not for others. No idea why. At least *I* have no idea why. I'll let the registration and website folks know you're having a problem. Meanwhile, you can print out the registration form and mail it in. Or wait a while and see if they can fix it. Sorry! Nancy |
