(Also happy to pitch tent in back yards if weather is unseasonably not boiling and humid)
Monster told me I should add my input.
Here's my official line. Whatever you lot want to do is fine with me!
1) There's no back yard, you'll be under 10 feet of water if you want to camp out there. There is room out front through but beware of the sprinklers and ants.
2) If most people are coming out of state from the north, it'd be a nice gesture to meet further north. However if they're going to sight-see in Dallas, then Dallas would be a better option, however Dallas had the airport tax and things like that on hotels. Plano works well for me *coff*. I might be able to arrange rooms if I know for sure how many and for how long.
3) Yeah!
PLANO would seen to work for us also . Melanie found a quilt show going on that day in plano so she wants to combine the two events .
Well, we'll need motel rooms unless the weather is campable, not sure which nights in total, but definitely on the 9th. We prefer the drive-up to the door type motel, but pools can sway us to the multi-story-not-really-motel type ones. Frankly, we prefer to camp so we don't need to keep the kids on such a tight leash, but your weather scares even me.

Camping in Texas in August is a little crazy.........but hey we're talking about the Monster family here
Plano sounds fine. Never been there before so it will be an experience.
Nigel.... can you suggest an area for us to find a hotel please..
yeah, if we have to do hotel, let's all do the same one (cheap, but with pool...)

we will need a motel for one night SAT (with a bar ) NO SMOKING ROOM reasonable price
NIGEL ?/wheres a good place to meet in plano and so you know much about the quilt show there that day ..
hoping we melanie and I can fit in both quilt show and britnet with a hotel close by .
There's a few hotels nearby.
SunSuites is a drive up type. It's near US-75 and Parker Rd as is Red Roof Inn. Those are the closest and easiest to get at. Sun Suites is an extended stay type place with kitchenette.
If another of those are suitable, let me know and I can give suggestions. Anything on US75 between Allen and Richardson wouldn't be too far away, both are about 10 minutes from Plano and I'm 10 minutes from Parker & US 75.
There's a couple of British style pubs popped up in Plano that I need to check out *coff* so I'll let you know once I've been to them.
I do need a headcount! Please send me a PM with how many of you there will be and any special requests.
Thanks,
Nigel
What say the others ? .
I think if we all stay in the same hotel it will be a lot easier to comunicate and meet each other ..
WE dont mind which hotel we would want a non smoking room kitchen would be nice but not there long enough to make use of . most hotels have coffee makers in room and continental breakfast included in price .
like to see a few more participants than the 3 families involved ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY come on members join us
Head count 5 here -two biggies and three sprogs
not nothered about hotel having a bar -always bring our own. pool would be nice though -I saw a LaQuints with a pool on travelocity at $60/night

We can forgo the bar,( price as always is paramount ) sooner prefer we all stay close by in same hotel NON SMOKING the only must
$60 night sounds good
does that include bed bugs ?? JJ
english pub sounds a good rendevous .
one with a varied selection of ethnic foods so everybody is happy ( and of course licensed )
Lets nail down some details we are set on being there . a commitment is made ..
let me know if we need to pack gazebo and folding chairs and conveniant time and place for everyone to meet .
HEAD COUNT two adults slightly overweight ( act like kids so hoping for a discount )
La Quinta - Plano
pool, basic double $59, king w/fridge and microwave $69, AAA/seniors discount 10%, presumable + taxes, breakfast, waffles!
seems good to me
