And can you imagine how much fun it will be to have SOOOO many Yorkies in one spot

! Heaven! I can hardly wait!

Oh, and yes...I have to travel with my job, and I've had MANY times where the hotel pics look great, and you get there and it's a HUGE disappointment! I'll be in KC for 2 weeks for Christmas, so I can even check things out then if needed. Only the best for our furbabies (well...ok...the best "affordable" can buy

)!!!

(Again...as an off topic side note...I read about the space observatory at the hotel, and we tried to book a tour to go there through the hotel, but the timing didn't work out with our limited time on the island...next time!)

Hey Lisa If you ever get to come to Omah I would love to have Lunch and take you to the zoo (OR any of you all ) I have a Pass so It would be on me

Has the date been firmed up? I would like to be there. Just a short 3 drive and I did it once last summer with the pups.

I'm going to try to make it...there are so many people I'd love to actually meet...This could be very exciting...and so much fun!!!

To those of you that are planning it, I think we stayed at the Sheraton last time we were there. Rooms were nice, reasonably priced, and right there on the plaza. Just a suggestion-you may have already checked into this one! I have NO idea if they allow dogs or not.

I would LOVE that! Matt and I go "home" every year for Christmas or Thanksgiving (we alternate), but it seems our time there is always taken up with meeting up with my friends, family, etc, and we never have time to do anything "fun" in the area (i.e. museums, etc.). I managed to get in a side trip last Thanksgiving to see my best friend in St. Louis, but who knows what I'll be able to "schedule" (yes...I literally have to "schedule" our vacation home to fit it all in) for this year. I'll definitely keep you in mind though! That would be so much fun! And I'd love to show Matt the Omaha zoo! We have a 240-gallon salt water tank in our house, so I'm sure his favorite would be the walk-through aquarium!

Thanks for the suggestion. When I worked in KC, we actually held a training course at that hotel because it was so nice for the out-of-town people to stay in, but I'm pretty sure when we first started talking about Plaza hotels that accepted dogs...they weren't one of them

. I know Marci has covered all the available bases, but thanks for throwing that out there for us!

PuppyLovinNurse · 07-23-2007, 01:17 PM

I haven't been following this thread since I found out it was going to be in KC because I didn't think I'd be able to go, but DF is asking me where I want to go on vacation next year

So, I'm going to cheat because I don't have time to read all 18 pages lol..

What are all of the details so far?!

Thanks!

WundrWmn · 07-23-2007, 01:22 PM

Sorry never know from one month to the next nearly where we will be.....being Snowbirds we are all over, but doubt we will be going that way this year, but again, you just nary know.....

LuvMyPrinceKobi · 07-23-2007, 03:06 PM

Sorry to be so dramatic, but if it really is the 21st, which as far as I can tell (NOT SURE) is the "temp" plan for the time being, I will be SOOOOO excited! My step-sister is getting married in Denver the weekend prior, and so I just looked for a flight from Chas to Denver, Denver to KC, and KC to Chas, and it's only $400 for the entire thing!! Y'all may think that's a lot, but it's a steal for me! It usually costs me over $400 just to fly home so I'm super super excited!! I hope plans get set in stone soon because I can't wait to book my flight and hotel

I'm slightly excited...can you tell??? Can't wait to see you all!!!!

Kelz · 07-29-2007, 07:11 PM

vviccles1 · 07-29-2007, 08:50 PM

I have not had a vacation in such a long time.I dont drive and am alittle scared of flying since 9/11,if the amtrack goes to KC I will start saving and Jasper @ I will be a probably yes,sounds like a blast,once a date is set,I will search for a pet friendly motel or hotel,if their are 2 double beds someone is welcome to stay with me @ their furbaby(s)!

RONLYNN · 07-30-2007, 09:41 AM

I've never been to one of these but it sounds like fun! I would love to see all those yorkies in one place! I guess we would have to find a hotel that "really" takes dogs. If not they just might notice all these people sneaking in dogs (or maybe they will think it's all the same dog :-)

michiko · 08-09-2007, 08:38 AM

probably no

too far for me
