if you've got the opportunity to go it is great fun. As mentioned before, the "make your own" strawberry shortcake is fun....find the type you like best:

mashed or sliced strawberries
whipped topping or whipped cream
pound cake or sponge cake or angel cake or baking powder biscuit..

you get the idea.

Hi,

You can add me to the 'Maybe' list. It looks like there will be a chance I will be able to make it.

Thanks!

I think we're in the "know how much fun it will be" (but ...) list.

I actually started to book it but the tickets are too cheap to waste miles on, and we really need to accumulate resources for our 2+ weeks in Oz in May-June. If we didn't have a two-weeker out there, this would be a no-brainer. If somebody could get NW to raise the ticket prices at least 60% , we'd feel better about using the miles.

Regrets but we won't be able to make it due to prior commitments that weekend.....too much involvement in local events this year and that is one of the fullest weekends.

Want to see pix of all of you in the fields, with your baskets, picking ripe, plump, juicy strawberries......oooh, how sensual!

I would so love to join you for this, but will be flying to VCE with my daughter and her husband that day. Hopefully, a repeat next year!

KNOW HOW MUCH FUN IT WILL BE

Sorry to miss this. Sounds like a LOT of fun!

OK, I should be able to confirm for sure in about two weeks when I have my schedule for the semester, but right now I'm about 90% sure I'll make it.

I may even stay at the IC if the rate is right. Has anyone found a particularly good deal there, or just the standard flexible rate?

If I can make it (which it looks like I can), I can transport six people with me.

Some of us are operating on the Royal Ambassador two for one coupons. IC status is brand new to me and I thought it might be fun to try it out. Also the RAs get the big suites and open minibars which will serve to host the late night events. We should not even need to bring over a couch from the next door suite or borrow the chairs from the elevator lobby.

However, I would certainly be willing to change if another place becomes really popular with the group because I will have enough points and status in most of the other programs to cover the eventualities.

That means that unless the group exceeds 15, we should aready have enough cars. I have checked and the smallest feasible mini-bus on offer seats 24. If the group does get that big and there are not enough cars, we'll get a bus.

We will have a car, usually something Impala-ish, comfortable for 4, can hold 5.

I am trying to PriceLine an Extended Stay America Deluxe nearby, probably just as much room as the IC suites along with some green carpeting and (if we really get lucky) a touch o' linoleum!

Nice. I PLed one of those in MA last week. I even got the HC room for extra linoleum effect.
