A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Our Member's Interactions Did you ever wonder....

your all gonna have soooooooo much fun!
all of you together how awsome is that!

Cindy, are you taking Lola with you or do you have a bird sitter?

Wrennie, with my wages and still catching up on car bills I can't afford a rental. Triss said she could come and get me. I'm still working on a day that I can make it. Aros is planning on taking the 5th and 6th off work and if we don't take the kids anywhere I can go one of those days because he'll be home with the kids. He might work though, and I can't leave the kids home alone and be that far away. He's also thinking of taking those 2 days to take them to wild waves. I'll know more as it gets closer.

Good question!

Cindy I wonder if my Mr. Wonderful would like meeting your Mr Wonderful!

I don't think there's wireless on planes but I could be wrong.

Cheryl, I so hope you can be there.

They would talk about how great we both are!

Shaun finally came by and configured the router so I could set up the Bird Cam. He also set up the new outdoor stereo system. It sounds great... but we blew two of my rock speakers while testing it.... I wonder what would happen if added my Sansuis...
There are harmless spiders here but you will probably never see them.

Well... we have to be able to hear it down at the Cockeyed Bridge, don't we????

OMG!! I'm soooo glad there is going to be the Bird Cam!!!!

Triss or Bill, is it really muddy walking around up there???? I have new Reeboks I just bought, and my really old gross beat up ones that I don't really want to wear but I will if it can get really yucky.

That's some fancy footwear!

I figure that I'll wear my tennis shoes because they are big and bulky to pack...And I'll pack a couple of pairs of flips flops.

Aghh, I keep thinking of more stuff....I guess I'll need some cheapo flip flops for the shower on the train.

Me too! I'm a lot of both!

You can't smoke on the train....just out on the platforms....wonder if me and Mark will hurt each other by the time we get there! :Lol:

I just put a quick post in the CH to let everyone know why I wasn't on last night or today at all. So thought I'd come here a minute also.
My PC keeps freezing and going totally black, and I lose anything I was doing or typing! I guess I'm going to have to call my PC doctor (my son!).

Getting off before I freeze up or black out again.

I'm excited for you all. Yep, no flip-flop for Cindy!!!! ha ha!!!

You will just have to spend a lot of time out on the platform loz!

I bet all of you are getting more and more excited as it gets closer!

I just wish all of you could come too!

I'll just sleep a lot so I don't need a cig.

Got a word search book today to take, have a new deck of cards......I need a few books. I have lists, lists everywhere!

Sure hope Shirley gets her computer fixed, I actually did wonder where she was last night.

I told mom that! She said well is it safe for you out there? I said, heck I'll drag Mark out with me each time whether he wants one or not.

The only train you can smoke on now is the Auto Train that takes the route down to Florida...

I am exited.....I've started laying stuff out on the spare queen sized bed upstairs and it's half covered with stuff already.

I know I will be! And I guess I don't want to miss any good picture opportunitites on the way....

I found a website somewhere about what settings are best for your camera as far as taking pictures out of a train window....now I can't find it.

My station here doesn't check bags....we're allowed 2 carry ons a piece though at the size of 28x22x14 inches. That's pretty big....and that doesn't inlclude your laptop of purse.....I think I'll try to pack everything into 3 small suitcases/bags....and take a spare one so I can bring stuff back.

My librarian wants me to send the library a postcard!

I guess I should send out a lot of them while there.

The room from Chicago to Everett WA is small but I don't care....as long as I can lay down and sleep for the 46 hour leg of the trip.

I PM'd Jessica the route we'd take and the virtual tour of the room a few days ago...it's pretty cool.....pics of the dining car too!

The train looks really nice! I bet you are going to have a wonderful time and hopefully the trip goes faster than you would expect! Wave at me as you got through MN!

Mark should tell his mom tonight, she'll be so jealous. She takes those bus tours and stuff, but the furthest west she's been is Missouri and Tennessee.

I should post a list of stuff to take for the trip on the train and WA....and if you all see anything I've missed you could let me know.
