Anyone going? Of course our vacation there was 2 weeks earlier but I finally got my sister to go down with me just for the show. One of these years we're bound to be staying at our beloved Biscayne Suites on the day of the show. So far the closest we've gotten is a week apart. I wish someone would call me to synchronize watches.

Diane, I know exactly what you're talking about. Last year, we solved that problem while planning a week-long camping trip in Cape May. Our oldest was living with a friend in Cape May and they both worked at Lobster House all summer. They weren't involved in the planning but specifically didn't want us down there on certain dates. Then my daughter had black-out dates to offer and my youngest had his own plans.

To solve the problem, I logged onto ArloNet and checked HIS schedule and simply told everyone that we're going camping around Arlo's date in OC. Amazingly, everyone had that week clear and we camped out. I took the older ones straight from work to see Arlo and had a great time.

This year, Arlo's schedule didn't have OC on it until about a week ago. I had had surgery and was in a cast, so going to the beach was out of the question earlier in the summer. As luck would have it, my cast is off, the scar is closed and my daughter's been asking me when I can take her to the beach for the day. I checked the schedule and now my daughter and I are going down Monday and Tuesday.

Now if only the weather would cooperate. Diane, I know we had planned to meet in Williamstown and that didn't work out (weather problems again), hopefully we can meet on Monday.
