Need a headcount for Wilmington Trip

Hey Ladies -

I don't know about you, but I'm really excited about booking a condo at the beach for the week-end of July 28th. I think that we'll have a blast. I know that we are going to have a WLS friendly pot luck at Sheila's house, as well as a clothing exchange for those interested in partipating.

I need to get a headcount so that Wendy and I can see about booking a condo at the beach ... We need to know how many beds/bedrooms we need. Also need to know if anyone has special needs ... i.e., stairs, etc.

As we all know beach condos rent quickly, especially for week-ends, so if you can get back to me as soon as possible I'd really appreciate it.

Right now, I think we have Wendy, myself, Lori, Jennifer, Sarah, Diane, Candice (if she's up to it), ... Am I missing anyone? Who else would like to join us?

I can't wait to meet Sheila and others that will be coming from Camp LeJeune and the surrounding area.

Looking forward to a fabulous week-end.

Count me in- definitely!!!! LOL- O'k- I'm in a silly mood today! Barb have you checked at Atlantic Towers yet for availability? I was surprised how booked up everything was..... Come on all you Eastern NC WLS peps- party at my house! Sheila

Hi Sheila -

Atlantic Towers does have rooms available ... It's right on the beach and also has 2 pools for those who want a take a dip. I've stayed here several times before and will do so again. It looks like it would run about $80/person for a two night stay. This would be two bedrooms, ea. 1 w/King, 1w/Queen and a queen sofabed in the living room. ... They also have 1 bedroom units w/1 King, 1 set of bunks, and a fold out sleeper... I think we'll need to book a 2-night stay where ever we end up staying.

Can't wait to see you.

I'm still scouting around, as is Wendy ... any and all suggestions are welcome.

Barb, That's a really responsible rate for high season. I'm glad to hear that they still have rooms.  I am already thinking that an early Oct beach get together may be in order- the rates drop sharply and weather is great and the beaches are almost deserted. I rent an oceanfront condo for 6 weeks starting mid Sept and will be able to put a couple people up- It's less tahn 1 mile to Atlantic Towers. In the future, it would be cool to have an April and an Oct beach get together- hitting the beach before high season. Thanks for all your leg work! See ya soon! Sheila

I agree. I often come down in Oct and Apr anyway ... you are so right. The weather and rates just can't be beat.

Barb

Hi Barb, I hope that Diane is me! LOL  We will have a great time!  Please let me know all the details when the reservation is made.  Do I mail you a check?  Please let me know! Diane

Of course you are "the Diane" ... as soon as we get things firmed up, I'll be sure to let you know. I really think that this will be a lovely break.

I can't wait to see you again.

Warmly,

Barb

Hey Barbara, We are already going to be at Topsail Island, actually going home on that day.  I am afraid I won't be able to come this time.

I will still be with you all in thoughts!

Thanks for reminding me. I'm sure I was having a senior moment LOL. I do remember our talking about your trip to Topsail. If you get some time and are able to come by for the potluck or a visit, please do. I'll make sure to give you the contact info. just in case you decide to drive down.
