I am thinking, I want to keep it to only 2 groups. I think 3 may have been too much for the CM's. So if anyone wants to join in,and your dates will not fit into the existing lists, all I can say, is I am sorry. You could maybe squeeze in but not have the chairs for a day or two if that's ok. We'll take it case by case. I'll need to close the list at some point. Just trying to figure out when that will be.

 

[mickeymorse]

Hi Maria. Not to be a pest but I don`t see my name down for the swap. Aug 29th to Sept 4th puhleeeze!

 

[pinktales]

Excited to be going to VB for our first time in May! We will be staying there in the middle of our AKV trip. Nice time to relax in the middle of disney vacation. Sooo looking forward to it I just don't know how I can wait 6 more months! lol... Our dates are May 8 - 11. Was wondering if we could get in on the chair swap too? Thanks so much!

 

[carolinadj]

I would like to add my name to the chair/umbrella list. Could the person in charge please PM me if it's still available for 12/10 and 12/11?

All, if you have the technology, here is a great idea. It's the live web cam thread:

We hope to do it from our VB OVIR next April...and thought maybe others may want to do it on their trips to VB.

If you're ok with that arrangement, then I've got u added.

Okay Rob, just suck it up and say CONGRATULATIONS to Maria and all the other Phillie Phans. Not sure if I liked the way it ended with the 2 day delay though. Seemed kinda weird. I'm just a disgruntled Tigers fan anyway. What do I know

 

[MiaSRN62]

Well none of us here in Philly were happy with the weather---which has been just awful lately. It just felt torturous. To not know for another 48 hours whether we were going to take it or the Series was going back to FL was very tough. I literally paced the whole time I was watching the game last night.

I can't even recall the last time I got snow or freezing rain prior to Halloween, but we did the last 2 days. So the weather couldn't have been worse for the final 2 games of the World Series.....but I felt it was fair to end the game on Monday at an even 2-2. It was odd to start last night's game in the 6th inning, but I don't see there was any alternative. Either way I think it was weird, but fair. Even a mere 2-3 hours before the game started last night it was snowing and sleeting here in Lansdale. My dh works in Phila and said there was some sleet in the city but it subsided about an hour before the game started.


Line at Modells sporting goods was 3 hours long at midnight last night, so I hopped over to Dick's sporting goods. Only a 45 min wait ! I was shopping until 1:30 am ! It was like a party in the store
Thanks so much for the "congrats" though

Meee?

Congrats Mia. I really didn't have a favorite. I used to be an O's fan and can't get into the Nats. I'm much more into football and Nascar, don't pay a whole lot of attention to baseball, basketball, or hockey.

Our weather has been weird too... high winds for the last 3 days.

Finally, this morning it is quiet.

Sorry Rob, I was just talking to myself. From now on, you are the only Rob on this thread. I am MM. Hopefully less confusion. Since you mentioned football......Go Dolphins!!!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks Rob ! So many Rob's......and my dh is also Rob.

Boy is it cold here in PA. I will say I awoke to 30 degrees.
Usually baseball is associated with warm weather---feels alot more like football weather for sure ! And my dd is at college in Melbourne, FL and she said the past 3 days they have been waking up to 40's and low 50's. So for anyone at VB or heading down---pack some warm clothes. Don't know how long this cold snap will last.

It is a great name. I see why you married him.

Woke up to frost on everything here as well. A little chilly in FL as well. Hope it warms up for everyone heading down there. I hope your DD brought some of her warmer clothes with her to school Maria.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Oh, yes....definitely. She was just wishing she didn't have to bring them out this early. But we know FL can be very unpredictable some times.

Sounds good. We probably won't really be needing them until the 9th anyway. Thank you soooo much! I know we'll be needing the umbrella as even though I'm from the "Ocean State" with lots of beaches & great boating areas around I still burn like a lobster!

I also had a question. We are going to be in a OVIR and I have noticed some talking about requesting a "direct" view. I made no requests thinking they all had the same view. Is this something I should call back about and have put on my reservation? I booked the OVIR instead of the studio because I wanted to guarantee a view of the ocean so I won't be too happy if we end up looking at the parking or gardens or something.
