15 days. Can you believe it? Tomorrow Pinkstock will only be 2 weeks away.
-
Hello everyone. It's getting really close. I finally put in for my vacation time. I'm hoping to take off Wednesday so we can drive up. It would be nice to do some sight seeing wihile up there. On our way back we want to visit Steven's friend in Maryland. We're so excited!!! Boss said she would let me know by Monday. Geeze....the suspense is killing us. I can't wait to meet everyone. Finally, a face to the name.
-
2 weeks from today! WooHoo! It feels like we have been waiting a year LOL.
-
I started setting things out to pack today. I talked to my dad and the family gathering is getting as big as Pinkstock. Looks like I am going to get to attend to great parties.
-
OK...I am getting ready to send a box of Alaska treats. Do we have a final count of survivors, family and kids? I have Aprox 15 survivors and 25 family, but I don't know if that is a total or there will be 40 people total....and how many are kids?
Not a big deal, as I can improvise, but if someone has a number, it would be good.
Hugs
Deb C
Pinkstocker at heart

I'm still planning on attending with the baby girl, hopefully arriving Friday afternoon (we'll have to leave late morning on Sunday). All I need to do is book the rental car and get someone's phone number in case we get lost.

Hey MB.........glad you enjoyed your 'vacation'...............DH and I are driving so let me know if there is anything we can bring....(except chairs, cuz we are the proud owner of 2 folding chairs!) We'll do like last year and buy water and some munchies once we get there.................
I would like to see who is coming for sure also!! I know DebC was asking cuz she is sending a package from Alaska......................sure wish she was in the package!
For Heavens Sake.....................don't worry about pulling weeds...................your yard won't be the same anyhow once we 'decend' upon it!
Hugs,
Neesie
-
MB-Hey I don't want to freak you out or anything but the count down begins......10 LOL.
-
Well, all I have to do really is book my rental car and then get on a plane! I just need to make sure there aren't any cats in the house? Pink is fine - we like all colors! Is there a grocery store nearby? I can only pack much in my bag and haul it along with a toddler and a car seat!
-
Neesie,
I'm making it this year - bringing DH. It is going to be a long drive but I'm truly getting excited. Tried not to get to excited - was afraid something would happen I couldn't come. Nothing packed, but I have my list made of things to bring.
Brenda/BMD, I'm officially "very excited" now - can't wait to meet everyone. I'm so sorry that some that came last year aren't making it this year - I wanted to meet them and others too.
Brenda

Valerie
-

Leaving in a few minutes.
Valerie-Its a warm rain right?
Neesie-I will wave hello on my way over the city.
I don't know who is more excited. My kids or me.

MB - I'm still not sure if I can make it. My boss has not approved the time off yet. She keeps giving me the run-a-round. If I don't get the time off, I want to fly in but it may only be Steven and I because DH does not want to fly. He had such a bad experience flying out of Ft. Lauderdale that refuses to fly now. Did you say you have a camper for us? That couldn't have been cheap, please pm me how much money I owe you. Even if I can't make it I want to pay for the expense of renting the camper. Man I'm getting so excited about this trip and would be so upset if they don't grant me the time off. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
Box of treats - are we talking about food and beverages? I'm at a loss for idea right now. I would appreciate if someone could PM some suggestions. My creativity is a little on the low side right now.
-
OD - maybe you can sleep in the same camper with me & my gf. Steven would probably want to sleep in the tent with Nate, don't you think? Anyway, it will all work out - just come!!
Valerie
-
Oh my gosh, just saw this and wish I could go but I am in Texas and there is just no way. maybe this will be happen again next year and my family can attend.
-
Odalys.............sent you a pm!
MOmtobe..............it's never to late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hop in a car, bus, cab, boat, plane, train, ride a bike or hitchhike...............................just go, you'll have a blast!
Neesie
-
Hey MB...I see you graduated from "nut" on the hill to "crazy Woman" on the hill....LOL
You have two boxes winging their way to your hose. One is coming from me here in Ak, and one is coming from a mail order company. Just wanted to give you a heads-up
Have FUN
Hugs

I finally made up my mind----I can't miss Pinkstock another year. I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet everyone !!!!
Deb C, I'm sorry you can't make it this year. You look like such a fun person, sorry I didn't make it last year---I know I missed a good time. Hope you're feeling better.
OD, I sure hope you can make it. You deserve a vacation !
-
Hey girls if there is a way of getting there I will find it! There is no way I will miss it this year.
