1/2 due today won't work.....is that based on march or april arrival?
actually florida is seeming like it may work better for several and flights seem to be as cheap or cheaper than memphis. Just found 62.00 each way for @yiddleboge6 and the other day it was 150.00 I thought RT but that was each way my bad. This is for march of next year, the furthest it goes out to right now. It would be more driving for you, but unless you don't want others driving your truck, kenna and I would be fighting over the driving. We're both much prefer to drive.
he don't know me very good does he?
I don't mind a trip here or there, particularly if we all go in groups. I just don't want everyone going off every day in 100 different directions.
ya think so do ya? lol You can do what you want as long as we all want to do it with ya! hehehe you aint gittin outta my sight missy ma'am
wow this is stunning! and cheap
I knew I shoulda called dibs......but ya still woulda beat mePlus then I can share the Poo Bear bedroom with someone.
It is based on April, 2016 .. the second number is what's due to be paid in March .. up front, IOW ..
Pre-payment booking is generally due on the day you book it .. since I ran the numbers today, it showed today on the booking .. and, as I've said before, I am willing and able to pay the upfronts and collect later if need be .. you'll also find that with most Vacation homes, the balance is due a month before arrival and there can be limited, sometimes no, cancellation privilege .. and, that's why commitment is so important at the early stage of something like this ..
I'm with Mike. I'd prefer FL & beaches & seafood. Several different spaces to gather, big kitchen with room for everyone in the mornings.
I.m liking that one, too. I'm trying to pay attention to seating, also. Lots of butts going need that.
After some brainstorming and a conversation with a very special porcher, I am now able to commit to either destination.
(crossing my fingers the group decides on the house with the tiki hut in FL).
Deba and a couple of us did some math and with the 13 that are in the commited or almost 100% the cost per head looks to be $146 for the tiki hut house. If we add in more heads it only drops the price.
The sooner we can come to a consensus and get lodging booked the better our chance of getting the place that makes the most of us happy.
ETA Just throwing it out there... Looking at starting and ending the stay on a week day that would allow the fliers a lower airfare if possible.
Mr C is a possibility but not enough to figure into the initial cost.

Here are my Odyssey commitments, regardless of where we wind up as long as my RL situation doesn't drastically change prior to our rental deposit:
I'll pay my share of da lodging regardless of my length and location of stay; and even help with up-front monies, if it makes the planning process smoother. As to my time commitment:
if locally - I'll spent as many hours as I can with ya'll and will go home to tend to my bride and da Casa Iffy as required. I also should be able to provide some airport (SRQ/TIA/PIE) shuttle services if required.
if out-of-town - I plan to spend three nights away. That should give me two full days to hug and get hugged, unless da tribe votes me out early. I can also hit da 'bus stops' fer anyone here that needs a 'lift' within a reasonable distance of my route* (MMMV). If ya utilize my offer, I'll accept NO gas money. But, I will leave da gathering as per my schedule above.
I have a few feelers out locally as to a 'can't pass up dat deal'. So far, zilch. But, I haven't heard back on most of 'em. Da most critical factor is da number of 'sleep over' participants.
* Swinging over to Orlando will only add 3/4 of an hour to da drive time. (hint,hint...)
Did ya ever get full eating chicken tail?
Hades, I'll just take da couch in da rec room!

Willie.....how do you want us to get the money to you? I can mail a check, but considering usps issues.....paypal would be the easiest and quickest way ......with some assurance it would get where it belongs. Thoughts on this?
I want to start sending towards my part as soon as I can.....even if I have to send it in small monthly amounts between my next check in August and the final date
What weekly rate did you do the math with - when I check that house for April - the cost is $2,899 for one week. That would be $223 each for 13 people.
OK....I want to go swimming. Botonical Gardens......sounds nice...........sight seeing works..... I like the Zoo.
Kay was just on the phone with the owner of the house in Bradenton.......It's available from April 9,2016 on...If we booked it in May it would be $2100 for the week. Rental runs Saturday.....through Saturday......HO peeps are enthusiastic about this scenario......come on in and talk with us...

I was getting more and more confused, so went back to the beginning of the thread and read it all. Now, it all makes sense.
I would love to go, but would need help with transportation.

Many of us don't want to be in attendance without our main instigator
