I am thinking Nancy is the only one flying so how long will it take everyone to drive there?

Just curious ...

It should take me about 20 minutes!(it could be more IF Amish get in front of me) ;+) I have Thursday to Sunday off. I wish you guys could have see Stinkydog when we went to the Inn to confirm everything...she was excited!!! We went thru & we were showing Robin(her sister) everything, & Chris saw the firepit & OMG she said we have to have them build us a fire for one of the evenings.

I guess I had better call SUzi already to make plans...I know that any trip I take will be extra long for all of the stops I always need to make!

I don't drive as slow as Robin so it will take me about 10 minutes! LOL

I plan on getting there early on Thursday to get things set up then I may go enjoy the hot tub for a little while!

6 hours & 47 minutes from my house!! Adding for bathroom breaks, food stops & gas, I'm guessing a good 8+ hours! Yikes, that's a long way. I fall asleep on the way to South Roxana, 20 minutes away. So, add 3-4 44 oz caffinated drinks and 5-6 MORE b/r breaks for the extra drink..... I should leave NOW!!! LOL

Are you sure you want to go with me Cheryl/Shadoob???

can I drive across the ocean? If I start now I might make it in time.
I'd love to do a road trip wth you Suzi and Cheryl. I bet it is a laugh a minute.

I think for Kimmy and I, it's about a 2 and a half hour drive, I think. We did so much shopping and stopping on the way there and back I can't be so sure!;)

I'm going to miss driving in with Suzi and Cheryl. I sure could use a few laughs and I know they'd give me many more then that. Boo Hoo I really want to go.

You can still make it!!! My bro went to Memphis on Friday & I was REALLY tempted to tag along w/him. If I had had more than 10 hours notice, I might have done it. I wish there was some way you could make it to StL!!!

I just got off the phone with Suzi..I am going to spend the night at her house on Thursday and then on Friday we will head out to the PALOOZA!!!! If Suzi doesn't have to stop THAT many times, then I DO....it's pathetic.

At the risk of sounding really stupid...what is Palooza?

There are no stupid questions!! Shack-a-palooza! A bunch of us are getting together at an inn in Indiana for 3-4 days of shacky fun!! This is my first year so I don't know all the stuff we're gonna do but I am planning on having a blast. And I will get to check tons of people off my "met in person" list!!

I pm'd you this too. It took me a while to figure it out too. You click on MQ, obviously, for the first thing you want to quote. Then do it for the second, when you are finally done then you click on post reply and whatever you want to quote will be in your response already.

Well if Chicago is 3 hours then I am guessing it will take the IA girls 9 hours because we are a good hard 6 from Des Moines to Chicago. We were toying with the idea of leaving on Wednesday am, and shopping our way there and staying in Chicago on Wednesday night and then driving on in Thursday after we slept in. But we haven't settle on it yet, probably depends on what decides to crash that week, it never fails vacation is scheduled something will blow up. There are alot of good stamp/scrap stores on I-80 that we could hit on the way there.
