Lashbear's USA Trip Update

[lashbear]

Well, we have another piece of the puzzle nailed down.

The trip now looks like this:

March 15 & 16 - Still thinking... most likely a LA stopover to break the journey to...

March 17 - 24 Orlando 1 week park hopping them on to...

March 24 - April 7 Anaheim - with a 14 Day Park-hopper.

April 8 - 14 San Diego - Mission Beach Giant Dipper here we come...

April 15 - 29 April - San Francisco (still in negotiation - accommodation willing....)

So we're getting rather excited with only 115 days to go !!!!! :cheers: :snap: :cool:

[Matterhorn Fan]

I sent you a PM.

[wendybeth]

Too cool, Lash- we'll finally get to meet in person!:cheers:

[CoasterMatt]

Mission Beach's Giant Dipper is more fun than a 6 car freeway pileup...

Lemme know if you head to Sea World, too - it's another place I've got some good friends ;)

[Prudence]

Why stopover in LA when you could visit cloudy and rainy Seattle, which also has direct flights to Orlando?

[Kevy Baby]

March 24 - April 7 Anaheim - with a 14 Day Park-hopper.14-day Park-Hopper?!? Isn't that called an Annual Pass?

[lashbear]

14-day Park-Hopper?!? Isn't that called an Annual Pass?

SShhhh.. it's a pass available only to Aussies. I could tell you more, but you'd have to eat a spoonful of vegemite to prove your loyalty.

[MouseWife]

I hope that your dates will be dates I have off...and maybe {as I am planning on...} not blacked out.

How exciting! It is drawing closer!!!

[CoasterMatt]

I ate a fistful of vegemite on a dare once... the only thing I ate in Australia that was worse was at a McDonald's :D

[Disneyphile]

I could tell you more, but you'd have to eat a spoonful of vegemite to prove your loyalty.:eek: Anything but that! That stuff is nast-Y! Bleh!

[lashbear]

:eek: Anything but that! That stuff is nast-Y! Bleh!

Sorry, but you're getting some in your Show-bag come March. :evil: (do you guys have showbags at your state fairs ? - if not, tell me and I'll explain)



NOW - the latest update: Accommodation has been confirmed in Anaheim and we will be staying at the Peacock Suites for the first 6 nights, then we're moving to the Hojo's right across the road from the park for the next 9 nights !!! *yay* *Woot* *etc.*

I'm a happy chappie !

[CoasterMatt]

I'm proud to say, I've vomited on the front lawn of that HoJos after a particularly fun evening :eek:

[lashbear]

Thanks - I'll look for the dead patch of grass ! :D

we will be staying at the Peacock Suites for the first 6 nights, then we're moving to the Hojo's right across the road from the park for the next 9 nightsWhy the change of location?

[lashbear]

We weren't able to get any more availability in the Peacock suites (or other exchange resorts) using the RCI timeshare exchange, so we booked through a travel agent (got a good price too, considering it's spring break)

[CoasterMatt]

Why the change of location?
If things get crazy, you run out of places to hide the bodies...

[Chernabog]

If things get crazy, you run out of places to hide the bodies...

:eek: If the Lashbears have a party in the hotel room, are we gonna have to check the matresses for dead hookers?

Cool! ;)

I always hate the moment when you pull the shower curtain over to see what's in the bathtub....

[lashbear]

[Not Afraid]

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized our London dates didn't interrupt our Lashbear time!

[wendybeth]

Wow, Lash- that's quite the extended tour you have planned! I would love to be able to do that......

We're plotting a northern Europe trip next late summer, but I'd also love a UK trip. I'm jealous, NA- but relieved you'll be in town when I am!

[JWBear]

Make sure you set aside time to visiting the local bear bars!

[lindyhop]

What a great itinerary! I'm looking forward to meeting you.:)

[Kevy Baby]

Make sure you set aside time to visiting the local bear bars!Boom Boom Room?

[Morrigoon]

OMG! We haven't hit the Boom-boom Room in absolutely AGES!

[lashbear]

You have a bar called the Boom Boom Room ?!?!?

[lashbear]

You have a bar called the Boom Boom Room ?!?!?

Never mind. Found the website. We're in ! Make it for one night between April 17th - April 27th :cheers:

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wasn't George Clooney going to tear the Boom Boom down?

[JWBear]

Unless things have drastically changed since I was last there, the Boom is not a bear bar.
