2013 Kansas City RenDezVous!

[Merlin the Elder]

Well...yeah! But it was the lion that was cowardly. The wizard was just a bad wizard.

[Capt Spleen]

If not for the courage of the fearful wiz, the minnow would be lost!
....but I digress into uncharted Island....

and.......
did you know that when  one o' Ms. Trish's bells rings a pirate getz iz booty!?

...I have experienced beauteous her bells.

[Merlin the Elder]

It sounds as if there may be mischief afoot at the upcoming RenDezvous!

[Ms Trish]

Mischief? Me? Never! 

[Sir Ironhead]

And fortunately my monitor is waterproof

[Merlin the Elder]

And fortunately my monitor is waterproof

You had better hope...

[Norfolk]

It sounds as if there may be mischief afoot at the upcoming RedDezvous!

Hope springs eternal!

Put myself, Al-Nimer & 2 teens down as 'perhaps'. I'm assuming the kids will be out that Monday for Fall Break which would give us driving time. I shall let you know once the school calendar is out.

[William of Ware]

Hello, Please add me to the list.  I look forward to another adventure!
I'll start my search of things to see in the area.  Any aircraft museums or national monuments around?

[Butch]

Any aircraft museums or national monuments around?

Yes!  The National World War I museum is in downtown Kansas City!  It will definitely occupy an entire day!

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

Butch,  I know there is still plenty of time, but have you had a chance to look into hotels?  Are you at all thinking the one we usually stay?  Had some people asking.

[Merlin the Elder]

Which hotel do you usually use, Gauwyn?

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

Which hotel do you usually use, Gauwyn?

There are 2 about a mile away. Holiday inn express and I think a super8. These are in Bonner Springs.

[Merlin the Elder]

I saw those... wish there was a Hampton at that spot. There's one over by the track, but much more expensive. I have enough points to stay for free, however. That may override all other considerations....

[Butch]

Hotels, yes!  We are working on that now!  We are trying to block off some rooms, and get a good price.  As soon as we strike a deal, we will post it under another thread.  I already posted a thread about camping, because that question always comes up.
We have been making major progress for so early in the game!
How did the "White Elephant" exchange go last year?  I mean, how successful was it?  I'm thinking Saturday night may be a good night for it, since not everyone will make it to the Friday night get-together.
