2005 travel plans? - Page 5

Grumpy4 · 01-12-2005, 02:54 PM

I got nothing planned but DL! I have a free trip to Vegas that I need to use. That's looking like maybe June. I have a friend there that's having a baby close to then. It would be fun to be there when it happens. I also have a free stay at place of my choosing, but that has no date yet. Maybe a San Fran/wine tasting trip in August. Never can tell.

Montreal is a beautiful city! We seem to go there for my other passion, Cirque du Soleil. Whenever they start a new show we end up there!!

We weren't going to go this year but they are having a Cirque convention and some friends convinced us we had to join in the fun! We are taking over a Marriott in Old town, it should be a blast!

When we went a couple years ago it was perfect. The weather was beautiful for April and they opened up a lot of the street cafes, but by the time we left it was snowing. It was so much fun to walk in Old Montreal by the river with it snowing on our heads and yet it wasn't freezing!

My husband is being sent to Vegas again and this time I get to go! Woohoo!

Maybe if I'm really lucky I can see the new show in Vegas and the new show in Montreal!

I'm trying to decide when to see the new show too. Maybe in Montreal, but my spring plans aren't set yet. You should try to go for the open house. I went to that this past September and it was amazing. So cool to get to wander the halls of the Cirque HQ.

I didn't realize you were a big fan too, that's groovy! Sorry trying to be a hip cat for a moment!
I've never been to the open house but we had a private tour of the facilities. We keep saying we need to make it up there for the open house too as they have special stuff going on.

So far my travel plans for 2005 is just business:

February - Chicago
March (tentative) - Chicago
May - Chicago
September - Chicago

I love the city, but I think we'll have to find some other place to explore this year.

Hey, you do know that there is an American Girl store there, don't you? Tori is bugging me to take her there- they have a restaurant and everything!

Not Afraid · 01-12-2005, 09:11 PM

Yes! It is right down the street from our hotel. There are always scary line of scary mothers and daughters waiting to set foot in that scary place. Scary.

But, I'd go there with or for Tori.

Love to do Chicago with you, NA- but the mere thought of setting foot in that place is giving me hives..... I'd have to rob a bank or something first. Then a pharmacy, because I'd need some serious tranq's.

Hey €uroMeinke

I was wondering if you were planning on going back to Chicago this year?

Sorry couldn't resist.

wendybeth · 01-12-2005, 09:23 PM

Hey NA- any chance you might accompany your swankenstein in May? We are thinking of going to (choke) Cleveland around then, and we could always time it so we have a night or two in Chicago. Seriously- even though I protest, we all know the kid's gonna win. Every frikken plan going to Cleveland has to go through Chicago, might as well stop there for a bit....
