My general plan is to take everything out of the bag I packed for Vegas, wash it, and put it back in the bag. Refill the travel size bottles, and replace the winter coat with a beach towel.

A spare liver, and quite a few coupons for "second winds"

Comfortable walking shoes/sneakers/sandals/flip flops.

Diet Coke
I keep checking to see if the price of your flight has gone down so I can switch and get in earlier. I hate to give up a $89 flight for $170 one.

However. they seem to be going in the wrong direction!
That's usually how it goes as time clicks down, Good luck!
Margaritas on the pier!!
I thought sometimes you get lucky but since it just started SNOWING I may decide to just say the heck with it and spend the extra money to get OUT OF HERE EARLIER!!!

Yes SNOW on the ground this AM, how depressing! 1 week to conch fritters and cold Corona @ Alabama Jacks!!

Yeah well, I may have to bag the whole thing. I got a call from my mom and she is having some major blood pressure issues that they haven't figured out yet. They tweaked her medication and it seemed to be helping but today she's had a big spike again. She lives alone about 2 hours from here. I'm afraid I'll be so distracted if they haven't fixed the problem by the time I leave I won't have any fun worrying about her having a stroke or a heart attack. I'm still trying to decide what to do.

(((Pam))) I'm sorry to hear that

Oh (((((((((Pam))))))))), I hope the doctors get the blood pressure problem resolved.

ScarletB · Post by **ScarletB** » October 22, 2008 5:50 pm

Thanks Erin, thanks Deb
I'm going to wait til the last minute to cancel anything. I just talked to her and she sounds fine now, it may have been a short term thing, she lifted a lot of heavy stuff today. I told her to HIRE someone to do that kind of thing at her age. She's in such good shape otherwise that she tends to over do it.

Pam, fins are crossed for you.

It looks as if fin crossing worked for Jen.

Sending lots of phin power for you and your Mom and keeping fins crossed for you!!!!!

I was really hoping to see you again!!!

Awww Pam I hope your Mom feels better and it's just because she has been doing too much.

I can't wait to meet up with everyone at AJ! Looks like there will be quite a few of us making AJs our first stop! I just hope I don't miss Card Sound Road - we did last time! DUH!!! We have a GPS now so hopefully that will help.

We are at the Southern Most hotel - anyone else?

we'll toss in a hole punch!
one more reason you will need to come to the z-ranch southern annex!

What is this z-ranch southern annex you speak of? Clandestine meeting place - eh?

I could be with the southern most ho at some point while I am there.

Is that the same thing?

I expect I'll also be at Lighthouse Ct on Thursday afternoon earlier, and probably again at Lighthouse Ct. on Saturday and Sunday afternoons - Kelly's added a Sunday show before Sunny Jim's Blue Heaven Rendezvous later in the afternoon...which I'm *not* playing at, but will probably be hanging out at.

Hi Loren
I don't know if you remember but we met you at the Fillmore show last year - we were the ones who flew out from Charlotte for our 20th anniversary. We will be staying at the Lighthouse Court so hopefully we will be able to catch up with you

Less than a week to go!

Of course I remember you folks!

Glad to hear you're still around and on BN, and while you might have to wave your hands in front of my face to get me to recognize you in the new place and context, I will be happy to see you there. (Parts of my memory, they no longer work so good.)

I just had a phun time at our local Buffett show - Shoreline this year - last night. Great rehearsal for MOTM.
