I had also taken it to be a forthcoming event for 2009... for the same reason as JJ's.

March would be cool! Where?

hmmmmm.....me thinks this year would be too soon....I also thought we were tossing around March or October 2009?

Okay, now if its 2009 in October or March that would be do-able for me then too.

I'm thinking March in Baltimore or Boston. Anyone up for Boston?

I can do Boston. Boston hotels are very expensive though.

I've heard there is one place you don't want to drive and that's Boston. Course, I wouldn't be driving anyway, so it makes no difference to meeeee! Now, you're talking March 2009, right?

EW, please tell me more about your brother! Who knows, at this rate, I might be divorced by March or September. March and April are the snowiest months in Colorado. We had snow on May 1 this year. March is definitly hard to make plans due to weather. I like Baltimore better than Boston, which is so hard to navigate the traffic. Also, Baltimore would have better warmer weather in March, wouldn't it? Let's just get Oprah to sponsor our trip to Cancun!

ewwww Boston sounds good...
How about renting a VBO like my daughter and her family does? I looked under Boston and Baltimore, and found some that sleep 10-12 and 8-10, respectively. A weekend for the 10-12 for Boston is around $1000, if I read it correctly. Find it on this page #25470:

And, a link to Baltimore's offerings:

This one in particular sleeps 14:

Just a thought.
Or do you prefer hoteling it?

Boston? Hey, my home town!

I think Louisa can confirm that in March the Boston area can get real strong snowfalls. So because of that, I would prefer coming in October, since we could do more things with my brother after I meet with my Boomer friends. And, as Ladyjane once said, October 2009 gives me an additional half a year to save for the trip as well.

Princess Lenora, it’s that serious with you and your Hubby? I know you’ve been struggling for quite awhile. You better believe I’ll introduce you to my brother, if he’s “free”. He seems pretty happy right now, though. But you never know.

Gims, that’s not a bad idea renting a VBO. It might come cheaper for all of us, and that will def. be like a big pajama party!!! Anybody else snore?
