Central NC WLS Support Group ... Beach Trip

Let's take a trip to the beach! Sheila has so graciously offered to host a potluck at her home, near Wilmington, in Monkey Junction July 28th.

Well, that sounds like a wonderful excuse for a trip to the beach! Several of us have already decided to go. If enough of us go, we may be able to rent a block of rooms and make a 'mini-event' of it for those who might be interested. We can go down and rent our own room, or anyone interested in a Pajama Party are welcome to sign up and we'll see about rooming together.

While I directed this to the new Central NC WLS Support Group, I'll be glad to coordinate with others on lodging, feedback, ideas, etc. from anyone else who would like to join us at the beach for a week-end of meeting new friends and enjoying old friends.

I'm looking for suggestions people might have re: the trip to the beach.

I really look forward to this trip. Please contact me if you are interested in driving down.

Barb.

 

Count me in........I'm going!!!!!  

Sarah -

I'm delight that you'll be there. I think it will really be a lot of fun.

Are you interested in going for the week-end? Would you want your own room or would you rather Pajama Party?

Are there any activities you might want to do while we're there?

Barb

Hey Barb,                        Wendy and I have talked about being roomies........I like the Pajama Party idea!!    When I'm at the beach it don't take much to entertain me........I just love the beach and the ocean......I always have fun going to all the little shops too!! I'm game for just about anything!!

Sarah -    LOL! Barb - I'm in! Watch out for me and Sarah...midnite pranks on whoever falls asleep first......LOL!

  ............Wendy we are gonna have so much fun!! You need call me girl!! ~Sarah~

Nancy- we know you will be there in spirit.We will take lots of pictures! If this event proves to be as much fun as I think it will be- we'll do another one in the fall. I have an oceanfront beach condo at Carolina Beach from 9/16/07 thru 10/28/07. I am waiting for quotes from 2 local hotels, but I thought the Raleigh and Charlotte folks might want to check out  www.vrbo.com and look at some of the oceanfront condo's available- several were $150/night and sleep 6 people. With taxes and everything- that looks like a DEAL for probably under $30/person/night. My house is 10min inland from Carolina Beach. The condo's I rent from are called Sand Peebles, but there are a bunch of nice condo's available. Just trying to offer more than 1 suggestion and thought a condo with a true refrig. and kitchen would be helpful. Can't wait to meet some new friends and see some old friends. I'm feeling an annual or semi-annual beach retreat forming here.... Sheila

Hi Sheila -

Great minds think alike ... We often stay at the Atlantic Towers ... They have one and two bedroom condos and all are on the beach. It's something I was thinking of too. And like you I think I feel an annual or semi-annual retreat in the making.

I'm really looking forward to meeting you.

All the best,

Barb

I live 10 minutes outside of Wilmington and I look forward to meeting you all. I feel like I know most of you already. (Pictures help and I promise to post mine soon.) But this sounds like a great time, doesn't it? Are your hubbies coming? I will assume not, with the Pajama Party and all! (What was I thinking?) Can't wait to see you.  Mary Ann
