Anyone else ready for another FOF trip??

I'm just wondering if anyone else is itching to get our group together again yet. It's been a year since the last one, and we've been allowing about a year to plan for them, so I'm thinking we should start a conversation about it soon, if anyone's interested. I don't know if Phyllis will be available in December when she returns from Iraq, but I think it would be so cool to have a welcome back party for her with us all together. If we did that, we'd have to take winter weather into consideration and probably her location. Johnny is not likely to want her to go far away again anytime soon.


If we want to do a general trip, people could start throwing out ideas for times of the year and locations.


Who's brave enough to start?? :-)

Geez, does no one want another trip or do you just not want to go first?


I'll go first. You know how shy I am... ;-)


Well, depending on if we do something for Phyllis' return in December or January, we'll need to think of something pretty close to where she lives in Missouri, I would think. It's going to be COLD, so we'll need to plan indoor things.


If we want to do it that time of year, but somewhere where we can go outdoors, then I think Orlando or Miami would be fun for the East Coast or maybe San Diego on the West Coast.


If we want to wait until late spring, we would have a wider choice of locations throughout the country. Does anyone have any suggestions for between the coasts or farther up the coasts?? Come on now, surely you can tell us that much! LOL!

Rhonda, just got home from work and saw your post. Although I would love to wait until Phyllis came home that time of the year for me is killer. With Thanksgiving, family birthdays, and then right into the holiday season December would not work. Maybe end of January into Feb.........possible. But do we want to wait that long. Plus if I do any travel during that time of the year it better be to a warm location. Cost is always a factor and so is the rest of my families schedules. Usually the price of plane tickets seem to be cheaper to the more populated areas like the Orlando, LA, Chicago...........as opposed to Missouri. But let everyone throw out some suggestions and see where it goes..........

I'm thinking somewhere really green, rains a lot, has a big needle that goes up into the sky, and a lot of ferries.

Seattle Washington would be great, especially since I have a really good friend from school that lives over there so I could do more then one thing........great bargin don't ya think? Again timing and cost are a factor but I would look into the airfare and check with the rest of the family. Let me know!

I just can't take constant rain, especially cold rain. I'd be curled in the fetal position the whole time.

I would love another FOF trip but I have no ideas about where or when. I do know December would be impossible with being between the holidays. Love to hear any ideas myself.

Keep on keeping on!
