Regarding a campground that has cabins - I am so not a camper. "Roughing it" to me means staying in a Motel 6!!! Selecting a campground might also mean we are quite a distance away from a major city that would allow for shopping and restaurant dining and probably also means we would not have an indoor facility that would allow all of us in with our babies. It also doesn't make it feasible for vending.
One of the things I really liked about this meet-up versus local ones in the park or at someone's house was the variety of options available for those who wanted a night on the town and the schedule of activities contained within that allowed our furbutts in.
I also think that no matter how many surveys we do or how many people say they will attend, one a date/location is selected many of those still won't attend. But, the sooner a date/location is selected the more time folks have to save & plan. |
Amen Jodie.
Just my two cents...look at all the YTers who said they were coming to this meetup and didn't (wasn't it like over 200 people jumped on the band wagon and we ended up with 40
). We were so worried that Lisa would be getting stuck paying the hotel fees and thank goodness that the Holiday Inn was so gracious to work with her and no monies came out of her pocket to pay for those not going).
I, too, understand that things happen and the economy is sucking right now and Lord knows what could happen in a year but perhaps once a location is determined then you take registration deposits and see who for sure is going and then you decide on your hotel.
I still like the Nashville/Tenn area though as well as San Diego!!! Two places I have never been to but would like to.
