Las Vegas..Possible dates?

Those that have great ambitions to attend a Dean's Circle reunion in Vegas for the Fall of '08, I think we should start with throwing around possible dates.

For me, the week end of Oct. 11th would be good.

rac said...

If you build it they will come. 10/11/2008 works for me.

Paul said...

That might prevent some spouses from making it since kids will be in school. hmm, didn't someone say "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"?

pat said...

Lol Paul, you beat me to it. yea, I'm thinkin this summer, but I'm flexible.

rac said...

The only problem with summer in Vegas is summer in Vegas. 128 degrees on a good day.

pat said...

hot is good

Ric Larson said...

That's the plan Paul...that's the 'Plan'!

Joanna said...

How about an island like Hawaii? in Oct. the 11th:)We did all grow up on one after all...

Doug said...

By the way the weekend of 10/11 is good for me too. Looking at my calendar i don't see any pressing social engagements scheduled for that time slot. Actually, the whole year is pretty much open.

Anonymous said...

October 11 is good for me too. we can make it a Thursday through Sunday thing. I like staying in the hotels that are all linked together with the train tram. It makes going to and fro to casino's easy and without needing to park a car.

DRL said...

WHAT?
I don't know if I can make it that week. First, IT'S HUNTING SEASON!!!!! Sencond, What are two things that don't go together? "DRL IS RIDING HIS HOG" and "THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER".
I will try to make it. I just might take a week and ride the west and visit.

DRL said...

And Pat, you are HOT and Flexible! Oh, Yea
Not as HOT and FLEXIBLE as Juls. WOW BABY!!!
Yep RAC, I know that old people spontainoulsy cumbust walking down the street, poof, pile of ashes.

Becki said...

September/October is heavy travel for me, but I can try. Also, the cooler the weather the more expensive the rooms in Vegas. All that being said I can certainly put it on my calendar.

P.S. Who still has kids in school?

Becki said...

September/October is heavy travel season for me PLUS the cooler the weather, the more expensive the hotel rooms. All that being said, I can try to block the week of 10/11 (I personally prefer early August).

P.S. Who still has kids in school?

Anonymous said...

I am open for doing this another time too, I forgot I have my daughters graduation that month, and I have to go to Florida

rac said...

So the crowd seems to be swaying towards August? As Becki hinted, we might be able to catch some great travel/hotel deals. Apparently summer is the Vegas off season, though I can't understand why. Anyone object?

Ric Larson said...

Teresa and I probably can do August. As long as I have months of notice I can take off from work.

Hi Becki! My daughter is in her first year of college. She graduated a year ealy, other wise she would still be in high school. She is only 16.

Cindy said...

I'm flexible (and no rude comments about THAT...lol) Oldest daughter is due with 3rd child at end of July and I want to go to Tenn for that but other than that no plans.

DRL said...

I'm so sorry, I have started a mutany. August is still HOT (Go ahead Cindy, make a coment).
Becki, ME! Yes I started late. My girls are 16 and 17. But I am not so worried about them when I am not home, duct tape and a locked closet come in realy handy.
What good is therapy if you don't have a reason to be there???
Ha

Ric Larson said...

No Dave (DRL), you did not start a mutany. I too am flexable. August is still cool for me (even though it will be 128 degrees in Vegas then). I too would not like to ride a 'hog' in mid October. Things begin to shrink when coldness comes between you legs :)!I would just love to see every one again and will try to bend my schedule to be there!

DRL said...

Cindy, your flexability in not crude at all. I have not been to Tn in some time, but I hope your grand baby dosn't look like me.

Oh, and as Becki hinted, the rooms run about $150 a night on fri and sat night. So it may be better (if it works for buissnes plans) to meet on the week days, but it is not worth it if less can make it.

Okay Joanna, we can go to the casino Tresure Island. Oh boy

DRL said...

Hi ric, The cold makes all men equal.

Ric Larson said...

Dave (DRL), I keep telling my wife that, but she will not listen!

DRL said...

Brother, thats sad, mabey it is all nuyakers are equel, haaaa

pat said...

August is better for me.My son turns 12 oct. 14. don't want to miss that.

pat said...

DRL...lucky for you, I'm getting better. I actually ignored that comment. And I had Soooo much to say.

Joanna said...

Hey you all Dean Circle Folk,Come on now, let's shoot for an island even off of Florida or some place like Hawaii. DRL were did casino island come from,maybe Rota but, not here. Unless you like pachinko machines and cock fights David RL:)? In that case come on home!

Anonymous said...

If we do this on an island, then I have to wait till next year, that would involve more money and all my vacation money is planned for this year---but I like that idea

Anonymous said...

Yup, I just confirmed that Oct 11 weekend is out for me, my daughter graduates in Florida that weekend.
Anyother dates ?????

Cindy said...

This year my husband's senior class had their 35th reunion on a cruise. It was alot of fun, there was something to do for everyone, and the price was very good....just another idea.

DRL said...

I think we have set a new record of no. of comments. Ric you track that better than I do.

Pat, Lay into me, I can take it. I say "If you are not having fun, it's not worth is".

Joanna, There is a casino called "Tresure Island" in Las Veagas.

Dave said...

While Las Vegas is relatively close by for us on the mainland, it is far from the place we are reuniting about. I hear what Joanna is saying, but like Juls said it would mean another year of saving and planning in order to head out to Guam. So the question is, do we do this thing the Guamanian way or the hoalie way? I personally have been trying to come up with a good reason to go back to Guam for a visit. A true Dean's Circle reunion while expensive, would be about the most awesome thing I can think of, to totally blow all of our minds back into the 70s. Las Vegas...well, maybe Johnny Borja will be there.

Ric Larson said...

Dave, Guam would work for me as well! I just need some advance notice. I am very flexable for this reunion. I want to see every one again...and this would also give me any excuse to revisit Guam!

DRL said...

Yes, I agree with Joanna, Dave (not me), Juls (oh yea), and Ric. Lets face it, a true Dean's Circle reunion would have to be on Guam. That being said, I can't aford a trip with my family there for some time. I know that it would be expensive for the few who live off shore, and we can all plan on meeting on Guam some time, but for now lets look at the soonest time. When we go to Guam let it be in the winter. PLEASE!!!

Cindy said...

I too would love an excuse to visit Guam again. If we give everyone enough time to plan in advance we could start saving.

pat said...

I would love to go to Guam. Would have to win lottery first. I know some of you gals still live on Guam. hard for u to make it to the states. still harder for us to make it to our
beloved
guam. Iknow I can't do it.

Ric Larson said...

After much thought, enough time to look at a globe and map, I realized that RAC probably had the best location in mind for everyone. My vote is still with Vegas Baby!

It would be nice to fly out to the islands for a reunion. But it is finacially heavier and more time consuming for the great majority of us, unfortunate as that me be (sigh).

Doug said...

Somebody make a decision.

Ric Larson said...

Good piont Doug! I have made my decision, my wife and I will be in Vegas the weekend of October 11th. If the reunion does not happen at that time, at least I will be in close proximity to visit with the RAC'ster, my brother Dave and Juls.

pat said...

Vegas in August is good for me. Road Trip! Get outta fla and see some of the country for a change.(that's just my vote)

pat said...

PS..August in S.W. Fl is HOT! Cindy can tell ya and Doug too, but he's got it a little cooler up there in the north, Tallahassee. he's a Tallahassee lass.

Ric Larson said...

I'm in either it be...August or October! I just need to know so that I can book a room! August would probably be better for my Biker Brother Dude! Sure would love to see his 'ride'!

Joanna said...

How about Hawaii?I feel like Dave does but, I'd have to understand everyone's situation. Please take pictures if I don't make it:(

DRL said...

OKAY ALL, it is Vegas Baby in August. I will be there. I am willing to share a room with all you ladies if it will help save money, ha. Okay, I don't want to make you change your mind, you can stay in your own room.

We need a date now! I can take any time off. RAC, juls and those in So Cal are close, so let us know a date. I will be there.
Cowboy up!!!

Becki said...

OK Guys...Vegas in August it is. I will check with a couple of contacts and give you guys some dates and options (don't get too excited, I have contacts at places like Marriott's Residence Inn and Marriott's Suites, neither are casino properties and the Stratosphere). I will work on the 1st and 2nd week of the month and will give options of weekend and weekdays. I will not be offended if anyone can do better.

Cindy - Fly to LA first and we can road trip it to Vegas.

pat said...

Cool Becki, thanks. have also been researching, (my boyfriend has), some really good package deals. I was amazed. would love to drive, but if flying is a better deal, I'm in.

Joanna said...

Maybe I could make it out alone.That's the only way I can see making it there.So expensive even in coach from here.Maybe...?

DRL said...

Joanna, we want to see you. We know how expensive it is, that is why we couldn't make it to Guam, and I would get we on the Hog.

We are going to explode this post if we comment any more, so add the rest of them to the "VEGAS BABY" post.
