Out of here.

I do hope some of you work your way into what you might like to do.

We have an agenda of our own which involves the zoo, aquarium and visiting other friends and family as well.

Beyond one or two a2k 'gatherings' we really do not plan on following the group around at all. We are making a family vacation around the gathering if that makes sense...
People are welcome to come with us if they so choose.., but we are going to be flying solo for several things.. mainly for financial reasons.

Since I do not plan on delving too deep into the goings on of the group, I only offer one or two ideas.

I will make some more time to look up things since I can no longer remember with clarity what is where and how it accommodates... and then post that to the board.

Diane, I'm speaking for a place to meet besides your house for 72 hours. (BBB has also offerred, and I did slightly.) If you invite people to your house on Saturday, maybe some want to meet then or not. It seems more to me that they all do. And since we aren't all polarized up the kazoo past recompence, those of us who usually disagree - even within some realm - can meet anyplace. And that would not be best at your house, for some.

Thank you for thanking me re my effort to post places.

Since I can't make it this time I should keep my mouth shut, but it DOES seem that the point of this gathering is for us to all meet each other, to talk IN PERSON. And as far as I can tell a picnic of sorts would be ideal--with a bunch of morning and evening restaurants thrown in. Nothing too fancy, just social settings. Osso and Diane are not agents for the tourist bureau.

Um, in that park, no swings.


I didn't mean to pick this park as the question. There are probably others. But I do like it.


I've expressed what I think in person, re all this, as has she.


Let it be.

...For now, I think that we can all decide what we want to do at the Saturday breakfast or even Friday night, since quite a few are arriving then. It is also pretty clear that most are not looking for a venue. I get the feeling they really don't want a venue. Maybe once we're all together and someone mentions going to Madrid or Santa Fe or to one of the museums or the Indian Cultural Center, others will start to say, "Me too!"

You have really done too much and worried way too much. Maybe we should just relax and let it happen. We all like each other tremendously and there really doesn't seem like there's a lot to worry about...


I agree with Diane. You guys have been very good to look up as much info for us as you have. We've agreed on a couple of meeting spots, and we're still a few weeks away. I really do think that's good enough for now. More is likely to happen the way Diane has visualized (above).

About a week before we leave, we can "pm" each other our cell phone numbers, and we can get in touch that way once we get to town. That worked pretty well in Chicago.

Shocked
Someone should spank Thomas for saying that!

(But he might like that.)

Oops, I missed that Johnboy mentioned the park on Saturday, not Sunday.

I'd suggest letting shewolf have input into which day for the park gathering based on her other plans. I have no preference or conflicts other than a Sunday pm departure. That can be from a park, a house, a restaurant, or my hotel parking lot.

The park on Sunday would be totally fine.

I am looking around the board for a new sig line and this one seems as good as any.

That gets my endorsement. I've missed shewolf in Albuquerque at least once before, and don't want to let it happen again.
