In order to fill out the forms the home owner has required, I will need the real names of the people staying. If someone has a list of these please forward to my email address. Screen names will not suffice.
Can you pm the amount and your address. Left the notes at home in the rush to get outta there. Real name is Matthew Bode. Thanks Susan. Really appreciate it.

Your coordination is showing. We made it to Deerfield Beach, FL. From Hampton, VA to Deerfield Beach, FL in 15.5 hours exactly. Left at 9PM and pulled in the driveway here at 12:30 PM. Doree drove for 3 hours midway to give me a break the I drove the rest. Going to see MIL in the AM. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks.
Praying Matt & Doree.

Good Saturday morning!

Matt, glad you arrived safely. Prayers have already been sent!

Have to replace the hard drive on my desktop, so am relying on my tablet for updates. Tablet can't do the H/O.
saw you try to pop in, but just didn't work. That stinks.

Two Iffy check list items completed today.

Today, outta da blue, my son-in-law with the anticipated Odyssey docking asked if he could park his travel trailer in my side yard while his house extension construction is completed. Not only yes, but he!! yes! "Oh, BTW son, how 'bout a week at your dock?" "No problem!"

Ergo, we have a mooring and trailer parking space for Susan & Greg's vessel! Sunshine Skyway here we come...

Wow...according to the posts, everyone went nighty-nite early and are still sleeping in....

but more than likely you all partied all night...

I must be the only old one in the bunch...
Most all the planning is done for now, so this thread isn't gonna have much posting, unless someone needs to wiggle, giggle and wahoooooooo or there is some sort of news. Sooooooo happy, this is going to be so amazing!!!! Can't believe we're finally getting to do this! And so glad we have some great reo porchers on board!!

Trip Information

Kenna brought up a good point........ much of the discussion on the trip has been in the hangout. If you're aren't up to speed, we do have the house reserved for the weekend of April 16-23. This is the house The Lakehouse 6 Bedrooms/6 Baths Pool,Hot... - HomeAway Bradenton

If you are planning to go, PM Seapeach and she will send you the paypal email, or her address for you to send a check. She prefers checks over money orders because she has no bank branches near her and with a check she can deposit it with her phone. Paypal is fine if you can't do a check. The amount is 185.00 per person for the week. Some are sending an even 200.00 and any leftover is going into the grocery budget, and for gas for the boat!

Yes I said Boat!!! Susan and her hubby have a 23 foot boat that we'll be able to moor near the house, not right at it, so we can do fishing and take boat rides!!! Thanks to Iffy and his son for help with that!

The first deposit has been paid, so we can start sending money to Susan to pay her back for deposit that she put on her CC. Payments can be made if you can't pay the whole thing at one time. If you send the money by paypal, make sure you send it as a gift please. This means using the "send to friends and family option"

As Yiddle posted, we do have room for a few extra folks if you aren't already on the confirmed list, don't think it's too late for you to get on there!! We also have plenty of folks who can pick people up from the airport!! Can't wait to see everyone!!!

Why shut down this thread. We can bull.... about the trip here and other porch stuff on the porches.
no one is talking about shutting it down.......kay mentioned there hadn't been much activity, and I just said there may not be a lot of activity unless there is news. I do wish we could have one that one person could lock or unlock just to be able to post news only with no chit chat so all relevant information could be easily found, but oh well.

Thanks for posting this Deb. I just PM'ed Susan to get her mailing address. Then I thought of 2 questions.

1. Does she prefer check over Paypal. We can do either.
2. Are we sending the full amount now, or enough to cover the downpayment. Either way is OK w/ me.

Made an edit to the information post, so for those who already saw it, will post the edit here too.......
If you send the money by paypal........be sure to send it as a gift, not a payment please use the send money to friends or family option

Mike......If a person can send it all that would be great, if they need to do payments that's fine too, cuz some aren't able to send it all at once.

She said it doesn't matter if you do check or paypal, but she just prefers no money orders unless you really have to do a M.O
