PM sent. Thanks for looking out for us.

The group of Thieves that are staying in Vancouver at least one night are: possibly Lisa and Darrell, Cheri, Jackie, Peg, Monica, Kathe, Vicki and Greg, me and John, you and Shannon. That's a big enough group to have a mini meet. YEAH!!!!

But far too many for my minivan!!

Hi Ken - I know that Deb, John, Jackie, Peggy Jo, Cheri, Kathe, Marlene (my non-DISfriend) & I are all staying that extra night. Marlene & I are coming in on the 2nd (about noon), so we'll be doing a bit of galavanting around that afternoon/evening. We're staying near Stanley Park that night. We were discussing the horse drawn carriage (http://www.stanleyparktours.com/), the Hop on-hop off bus, doing the Gaslamp district, and don't remember what else.

I've never done the hop on hop off bus tour, but I like the Gastown part of the city and of course Stanley Park is just beautiful. Especially around dusk.

Prospect Point at Stanley Park:

A part of Stanley park I think it was near the teahouse:

Yep, the teahouse at Stanley Park:

Hi eveyone, yes we are staying the night in Vancouver too on the 10th, but have to be at the train station by 5am on the 11th to catch the Bus/Train back to LA. We will be at the Best Western Uptown on 205 KINGSWAY near the train station.

Well I have put the notice out there in a number of places and the only one definite is Gydell. V is considering it along with the Left Coasters. If you and mom want to go, book the cruise and then let me know. Make sure it's not too late. As far as asking others.....they know about it and they didn't respond. So let's just let sleeping dogs lie. I'll put the info out there again for everyone. If they want to go, they will respond themselves.

Here's where we are going for brunch on Easter Sunday. If you would like to attend, let me know. Don't wait too long. I'm going to make final ressies very soon.

Tink was telling me about this brunch, I can attest to the greatness of it as it is just 2 miles up the hill from my house. If you need me to make arraingements or help just let me know. I can also get $100 worth of gift cards for $80 from Costco to help make it less expensive for everyone. My only headache is that Easter is still in the middle of Passover. Luckly, passover finishes before the cruise. You may want to also consider a visit to see Walt's Barn and home of the Carolwood Pacific Society at my Los Angeles Live Steamer's facility. I can also probably pull my train out for those who would like a ride. If there are enough interested, I can try to call in a favor and have the barn opened for us. (it is normally only open on the 3rd sunday of the month)

PM me or have Tink buzz me if you have any interest in my helping out.

 

[Tink rules]

Do I buzz????

Ahem...

Does this mean I have to crash the party and bring my own Tiara???

 

[HollyTyler]

I'm confused. This doesn't look like the Alaska thread I remember posting on. Are there 2 for Alaska and 1 for LA to Vancouver?

 

[Tink rules]

Holly.. this is Ian's thread that we've been using mostly for the Thieves to plan together... there are other threads for the cruises on the dis...

& btw... we're always confused...

Yes, Holly. There is an LA thread and an Alaskan thread and this thread is the B2B thread for the Thieves doing it. So there are three to post on. I understand why you're confused.

OK, thanks. The other 2 are bookmarked on the other computer which is used most. This one is the only one bookmarked on my laptop, which I don't use often because it's so small, some websites don't work, and it's Linux, not Windows, so some things don't work right. It's just sort of a backup when I want to sit on the couch and be lazy, or when Tyler's using the other.

Good to know my confusion is justified.

Michelle, my formerly anti-social mom wants to crash the party too. She emailed me and asked "Didn't I see Deb mention on FaceBook something about champagne drinking?" I politely told her she can't come because everybody has to wear pink and I know she doesn't own pink. She said, "Not only do I not own pink, I wouldn't be caught dead even touching pink! But I do want to be sociable." Maybe I can sneak up behind her and slap a pink wig on her head? Maybe she won't notice.

 

[Tink rules]

get her a white shirt with the word PINK across the front...

I like it! But if the letters are actually in pink, she won't go near it, LOL! She must have had some pink trauma as a child. Maybe her mom beat her with pink coat hangers.

 

[Tink rules]

Will it bother her to be in a room filled with pink woman?

Holly, tell her to come at the end of the party after we have taken our pink picture!! We should be there from 2-4 so if she comes around 3:30pm that should be fine. Then she doesn't have to wear pink or a boa or a tiara and she won't be in the picture. Instead, she can come and socialize and have some champagne with us. She's an honorary Thief and very welcome to join us on her comfort level!!!!

hahaha....hey, don't make me get mean again. Ken will never let me forget it.

MUST WEAR PINK or don't come!!! Ha!!! I said it again!!!

hahaha.....very funny Michelle, but if she wears this then she will definitely not be welcome.
