My SIL spoils Bella as much as we do. We have tried the house sitter and dog sitter before but were very unhappy with the results.

Our son, David, lives only six miles from us and will be checking on our house and bringing in the mail while we are gone. Can't leave our fur baby with him since he runs a business and never knows when he will have to leave town.

I need a vacation!! Because of all the medical issues I have had since April, we have had to cancel three vacations and two cruises. Will be arriving in FLL on the 17th and won't be leaving until Monday morning. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. See you soon!!

Joyce, glad to hear that you and John will be able to stay Saturday evening.
Jerry, there's always the December cruise! Sounds like you need some replacements and that would be ideal!

Joyce...I will probably wear capris and a blouse! I hope your neighbors will watch the dogs for you! I'd love for you to be able to stay over. Whenever you get there, we will be waiting.

Pia...no worries, I don't think any of us are in a hurry. So whenever we get a table is fine.

Jerry....I know how bad you need this trip. So looking forward to giving and getting a hug!! Also, as Lynda said, December is a nice replacement for the two cruises you had to cancel

Chris....looking forward to meeting you!

Hi Everyone,

I've booked the Hampton Inn again, have a call into my neighbor. When she calls me back I'll know if they'll be here next week. Lots of people here have gone home for August but I do have another couple I can ask.

Jerry & Jim, how about the Ruby for New Year's, there's a small group of us going. It's always fun to be at sea on New Year's Eve!!

Lynda and Julia: do you have transporation to Sawgrass? If not, we will be very happy to pick you up on our way. Just let me know Friday night. Not sure if you have my email, so just log in here and give me your room number. I'm not comfortable putting my email or my phone number on here.

So, the pre-party actually starts on Friday. Have fun and stay sober. Then again, only the designated driver needs to be sober.

ATTN: Just a reminder that John and I know no one who will be at this M&G. So, please walk up to all strangers that come in 2 by 2 and see if they are J&J!

Thanks to everyone on this thread who have made it so
friendly and welcoming to new people.

I'm sure most of us at the hotel will be eating brekkie on the later side so saint won't be a problem plus if we are all extra hungry the food will be extra yummy!!

We are starting to get silly. Means we need a cruise. That's why I grabbed a short Carnival one. Just can't seem to stay away from a ship.

You just need wine, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, even at your house.

Hello All
Just stop by to say hello and wish you a fun filled "M&G." You certainly have a fun group of people.

I will think of y'all next Sat.

Have fun!
