I plan to arrive the afternoon of June 23 and will be staying at the Castlewood Inn.
For those who might be interested in staying there as well, rooms are $49.95 per night, plus tax. 828-926-5348.
I thought we could have our initial get together at the Country Vittles Restaurant, about 200 yards from the Castlewood Inn, 828-926-1820, around 7 PM the evening of the 23rd.
Decided to try something different for the 24th. How many have been on the Great Smoky Mountains Railway?? I've seen the train going through the Nantahala Gorge, but have never riden the train. They have a package deal that includes a train ride through the gorge, a rafting trip with the Nantahala Outdoor Center (the best in the business in my biased opinion), a picnic lunch, and transport back to Bryson City. Altogether, the cost is $71 for adults and $56 for children. The trick is they prefer you make reservations (1-800-872-4681) at least a week prior, but they will take "walk ups" the day of the trip.
If possible, I need to know how many plan to attend so I can alert the Country Vittles Restaurant! Please let me know!!!
Bill, Marion is not up to doing white water rafting right now, so I was hoping we could meet y'all for dinner and a show or something but I found out yesterday that I have to attend a meeting in Atlanta on the 26th, so looks like we won't be able to make it to Maggie Valley at all. I'm really disappointed.
The medical test is nothing serious--I just have to have a bone density scan. They only do it in our little town hospital twice a month.
I'm still going to pay attention to the itinerary you post for others and if anything changes so we can get up there for anything, I'll let you know.
Sorry you can't make it, Sunnie. At the moment, there is some question about whether I will get there myself. How about that one? My car is undergoing some major repairs and if they turn out to be too expensive, I am going to be stranded at home until at least July 1. That seems to be a recurring theme for me...car repairs. Ugh!
Skippy's coming east August 10th & 11th...some of us on the east coast wanted to meet up with her, so we're getting together at the Outer Banks on those days...since some of us will be in school, some will only be able to stay a day, while others may be able to stay two days. You're welcome to come and join us if you like (THE MORE THE MERRIER)! See above thread for my email address! ~carolina jj

Hello Just read your blurb. I've just returned fron IOA and US. I was keen to buy the cd of the theme parks. They never had any. They told me to look on their website. Cant find it. Any ideas where to look next? Thanks Tim
Skippy has a short layover at the Atlanta Airport on Sunday 25th July from about 3:45 to 5:00. I called the airport and we can meet at the food court there. If you'd like we can meet early and visit longer, or stay later and have dinner afterwards. Let us know if you can meet us!!!
LOLOL Davey...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...no need for you to tell the authorities about my return to USA soil, I will not be out on the west coast this year, you and your hat are safe!!! LOLOL

After 500 plus dollars of repairs on his car today and the engine light coming on this evening (about ten minutes ago) warning that he must "service engine soon," it is obvious he will be unable to go anywhere this summer.
so Bill, now that's all sorted out, follow the link below to the Orlando thread and sign in on when you will be joining us in the sunshine state, and if you want to join us for the trip to DisneyQuest and Fantasia Garden Miniature Golf on the Friday?
Skippy!
