frequent traveler Posted January 19, 2010 Author #27 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Out of staters are welcome:D in addition to champagne and Red Stripe, a chauffeur to and from the airport and a couple of available guest rooms, the event will be held only 5 minutes from a luxury hotel and golf course, so we can definitely make a fun experience out of it! Or we can just drink champagne from a never empty glass (or other adult beverages) and pretend we are on SD! FT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT Actually we will be within walking distance of one 18-hole course and a five-minute ride from two 36-hole courses, one of which hosts the Wyndham Championship. But I digress ... I am thinking I need to start a roll call and head count: Feb. 27 FT and ZQVol (2) vandrefalks (2) whatnot (2) DJ and DJ's DH (2) So who else is joining us ... jbcjtc? ohmiss? ctbjrs? TOYBars?

I would absolutely love to be there DJ!! However the logistics are difficult at that time as well as the difficulty of getting my DH on an airliner, which would be twice in one month if we came!! He always wants to be piloting, not passengering....(is that a word?? NOT!) :D Have a wonderful party and we will be with you in high spirits. Miss you all! ...Counting down to March 12th!!! ohmiss :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT FT, you had me at, "never empty glass of champagne." :) There's a 50/50 chance we'll make it. We may end up heading north instead of south as originally planned. North to Vermont instead of south. In Februrary. During winter. I think I need my head examined. :eek: What's the nearby luxury hotel that was mentioned in an earlier post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandover Resort and Spa is the place FT mentioned that is 5 minutes away. There are two other hotels which are about 15 minutes away in downtown Greensboro (O. Henry and Proximity) which are very nice but not resorts. There are a number of chain hotels that are 12 to 15 minutes away as well. DJ's DH and I have stayed at Grandover, O. Henry and Proximity so I can offer our opinions on each:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DisneyJen Posted February 16, 2010 #37 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Greetings all! FT and I have final stopped traveling enough to catch up with each other:p We were wondering since it seems like we have had a winter storm roll through every weekend since late January if we might want to think about pushing the reunion to sometime after Easter in April? Thoughts? If folks have their plans in place for Feb. 27 we can still get together for cocktails and dinner ... just let us know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? If folks have their plans in place for Feb. 27 we can still get together for cocktails and dinner ... just let us know!! We have well over a foot of snow outside and it's still falling heavily. Though I firmly believe that this is how winter is *supposed* to be for us in Ohio, I must confess that I'm ready for spring. Pushing the reunion past Easter would definitely benefit us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandrefalk Posted February 17, 2010 #40 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Unfortunately, not me :( Feb still works best for me, especially as I will be in southern VA and so easy to make the jump to Greensboro. However, if the majority decide to wait til April, we'll come if we can! Vandrefalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnot Posted February 17, 2010 #41 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Feb is best for us too. I have made plans but I can cancel. With the good weather hopefully coming in April, we already have a lot of things happening that month. If it is changed, we'll try to fit it in.

Rare DisneyJen Posted February 23, 2010 #45 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is this a wear your SD pajamas event? Imagine ... FT and I didn't have time to talk about dress code. DJ's DH was amazed that I was home so early from our planning dinner (if we are anything it is efficient ... especially when quaffing champagne!). Dress is definitely "yacht casual" so of course SD PJs are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBLB Posted February 23, 2010 #46 Share Posted February 23, 2010 How far is that from charleston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DisneyJen Posted February 23, 2010 #47 Share Posted February 23, 2010 How far is that from charleston? About 275 miles according to mapquest. I haven't done the drive but I think FT has so she will know how long it should take. Would love to see you:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnot Posted February 23, 2010 #48 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd say it's about 6 hours from Charleston. My son lives in Charleston and Raleigh is 4 1/2 hrs. Then it's about 1 1/2 hrs to Greensboro. Of course that may depend on the route you are taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnot Posted February 23, 2010 #49 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Of course it might be closer to go through Columbia, SC and Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted February 23, 2010 #50 Share Posted February 23, 2010 How far is that from charleston? It's about 5 hours or so from Charleston. Take I-26 to Columbia, and then I-77 to Charlotte. Then I-85 to Greensboro. It is a real easy drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
