Caribbean Gardens in Naples, FL meet 11/15

[BarryHom]

For those in the Southwest Florida area, we've never had a meet before, so let's try to schedule one! I was thinking of the Caribbean Gardens (the zoo in Naples, FL) because FL residents can get in for $4.95 with a special coupon on their website (www.napleszoo.com). The coupon expires on 11/16, so we need to meet before then.

So who'd be interested? We need to make the meet time before 11 am.

Here's the coupon:

You'll have to get a set date...but since there are plenty of weekends between now and the date it expires, I'm sure we can come up with something...and I'll be able to go. (To believe you asked me to give up a weekend at Universal to go to a ZOO?! hehe!!)

But, as soon as we get more details, sure, I'll see if I can go!

Sounds like fun Barry, October 18-19 I already have plans but most any other weekend would work fine.

 

[BarryHom]

I'll be in Orlando from 10/17-10/20, but any other weekend is OK.

I was thinking -- Brother Bear opens on 11/1, so we can do the zoo in the morning and watch the movie later? I'm not sure if it will be a good idea to watch it with a bunch of kids, though.

 

[BarryHom]

Another idea -- perhaps we can go to King Richard's Park afterwards? I really don't like the place and it's expensive, but you can hear me make fun of it.

Our family will be on Marco 11/21 - 11/29 (then we go to WDW!). If we were there earlier, we'd try and go!

sounds interesting Barry. I like that you put a pic of yourself up. (kidding!)

Well I have this phobia of the Skyway so I dont know if I could drive it alone and I really dont want to drive the LONG LONG way around to avoid it.

So I dont know yet Barry - will have to think about it and see if I can find a driver. LOL

well I don't know if I will be there when you have the meet, but thanks for posting the coupon..I can use it on my trip down in October.

 

[BarryHom]

How about we toss out a set of dates.

Which is better -- October 11 or October 24?

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Umm...out of those two dates...October 24.

 

[bsnyder]

The whole month of October does not work for me.

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Whoops! I take October 24 back...that's a Friday...no can do...I only miss school to go to Universal.

 

[BarryHom]

Take the poll to pick a date!

I'm going to make a command decision here and pick a date since no one has voted.

How does November 15 sound? If you can come then, please reply here!

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Barry - I'll check with my mom, but I think November 15 sounds great. The weekend before I'll be at Universal for my birthday trip and I don't think we'll be going back again that Saturday. I'll let you know soon!

 

[house_of_princesses]

I didn't vote because none of the dates were good for us. Won't get into Marco until the following weekend.

 

[BarryHom]

Would anyone be interested in seeing "Brother Bear" after the zoo? I'm not sure if I want to be stuck in a theater with a bunch of kids! We can also videotape your responses.

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

What is "Brother Bear" anyway?

[Princess Michelle]

Barry, I'll give a definite maybe. I'm not going to completely commit to it since I have stuff going on every single weekend between now and then but I think it would be fun and I will try to make it.
