2008 YT MEETUP Update! - Page 20 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Izzy Princess · 08-14-2007, 06:20 AM

Hi - just found this thread...we would love to go but a little far to drive for one day..sniff..sniff....you guys are doing a lot of pre-planning and wish you guys all the luck on attendance. Hopefully down the road there will be a YT meet up on the East Coast.

Unless someone wants to hook up with me and drive together from Cleveland???

That would be a thought!

I would love to come...but there are a few things keeping me away. Beau doesn't like flying and I don't like driving and the BF doesn't sound too interested. Another thing is that I'm only 18 so I'm...basically...PETRIFIED!! Its a long trip to make for only one day (~14 hours). I have school in June so it would have to be late June too... a lot of things to consider but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to come... maybe after a date is set things will look better for me...

It has 3 terminals, so you basically get off the plane walk 20 steps to get out of the secure area and another 10-20 yards to get your luggage and then out the doors that are right there.
I flew this summer from MCI to ONT, LAX (prefer the ONT airport!) and Denver. All on dog business. I was told about express jet by scrapindee and just loved the experience. They were very reasonable rates, served food, allowed dogs ($50 for in cabin)

Tornados are really not a problem. They do not strike the whole state like a hurricane would. They are very spotty and usually just during the spring. We almost always have warning.

There are many great museums in the KC area. Truman Library and Steamboat Arabia, but I don't know how dog friendly. There is a new shopping area on the east side of KC not too far from Overland Park. It is called the Legends. It is an outdoor mall, so if it is very hot you may want to do one of the indoor malls.

By the way, I plan on being there with at least on Biewer for those of you that would like to see and experience one of these wonderful yorkies.

So excited to meet some of you. The YTers I have met so far have been SUPER!!!

oh, I love Biewers and got to see them finally when I attended the YT fair in MI . . so I will definitely be seeking you out

hope that is okay

yes we are!

TammyJM · 09-05-2007, 02:32 PM

Do we have definite hotel plans yet? I am really looking forward to this and I think that Livi will be so excited to be around fellow Yorkies.

I'm sure that it has been addressed already, but when are the exact dates?

Tammy

Yorkiekids · 09-05-2007, 02:33 PM

Probably yes.

We're shooting for the weekend of June 21, 2008, but don't count on that for sure until Marci gets the hotel to agree!!!

YorkieTime07 · 09-05-2007, 07:37 PM

isn't there a song ....Kansas City...Kansas City here i come!!!!!?????

lol

well anyway I am putting it on my calender and still plan to look into group air fare from Atlanta for those close by who may want to fly!! Not sure how this will work out with the furbabies but will look into it anyway!!!

YorkieTime07 · 09-05-2007, 08:05 PM

Well I just checked Delta and the airfare as of today to Kansas City is $215.00 rd trip for that Friday and coming back on Monday! in June of 2008!! ( i don't like to travel on Sundays..to much traffic!!

) Delta allows a total of 4 animals as carry on luggage: 1 in business, 1 in first and 2 in main cabin..cost is 75.00 collected at gate each way so add $150.00 for the fur baby and you have travel cost of $365.00 rd trip for mommy and baby!!!...I guess group rates won't help us here!!! but the cost isn't bad ..its approx 2 hr flight...based on this I am still game !! and on hold to purchase my ticket!!!

coroth · 09-06-2007, 06:25 AM

Girlintheworld · 09-06-2007, 07:32 AM
