i agree, no matter WHAT state we have it in. the host hotel HAS to be a Drury.. they are SO pet friendly... NO fee!!! They are wonderful!

The boats on the Riverwalk says "no pets" however that didnt stop Sam from getting on:D And I bet special arrangements could be made especially on the taxi's.

I wonder if the water taxi goes out to Breckenridge park yet. They were working on it in December when we were there.

I love San Antonio at any time of year. Ive been in the summer and in the winter, its always nice to me.

Yep I agree - they have convention rooms as well. Here is a list of states that has Drury

Twalla i think we have ourselves a planner :D :D :D

and have narrowed down our states!

I agree 100%. And CA. is no more expensive than the southern or southeast states and probably less that Orlando for sure. I'm not a big fan of mosquitoes either.
I think CA. would be the best this year, and then next year we could maybe look at Vermont for fall. It's breathtaking!!!!

Oh my!! If you had a bunch of Yorkies on a River Taxi I'll bet you'd make ALL the evening news channels here! :p:D How cute would that be?! :luvu::wavey:

I live in SA, but am moving out of state soon.... hmmmm, I should put "riverwalk" on my list of places to go before I leave town. But....it's sooooooooooo hot right now :( We've been hitting 100 almost every day.

It's just so hot & humid here in the summer. This year is worst in many years though.

I don't think they've finished the route to Breckenridge park yet as far as I know.

there is a Drury in Nashville...hubby and i stayed in it years ago...my friend and i were in Nashville last month and i noticed they were still there

so i guess we will stay at the drury hotel then i vote yes and then pick a city and state they sound like the best hotel for pets

I've never heard of a Drury, but I suppose to narrow down a list of locations, cities that have Drurys but don't have major airports could be marked off.

good idea close to major airport so i think we are coming along

I have read every single post and what I am about to say may upset a lot of people but here goes anyway.

In order for the meet up to be successful it has to be in a location/venue that is going to be "doable" for the largest number of members. I WANT to be part of the next meet-up - I was not able to participate this year, mainly because of issues with my leg. I have my preferences of what type of atmosphere would be most pleasant for ME, but this isn't about ME it's about a huge group of people with diversified interests and needs.

I will support the meetup no matter where it is located and whether or not I can attend. For the good of the group, so to speak. I think that ONLY those people who are serious about attending should have a say so about the location/venue, and each person should be willing to help support the event. That is why I mentioned a small $10 fee to participate in the selection process once a list of possible locations has been determined. This would help weed out a lot of people who don't really plan to attend anyway and help defer unexpected costs. I mean, most of us are willing to blow that much on an impulse purchase, why not put it to work for the greater good of helping a lot of people. I also think that the selection process should be made by donating members - those members that have made a commitment to YT.

If it were just all about ME, I would like to rent a resort that also has cabins and camping. It would be so awesome to sit around a campfire with our babies and talk and laugh and sing "campfire songs". To relax and let loose, not wear makeup or bother about "looking pretty" just to be ME. I know a lot of people would think I have lost my marbles, but if the meetup was just about me that is what I would prefer. There are places I would rather NOT go, but I won't refuse or be mad if one of those locations are chosen. Anyway I guess I've said enough :D

that's driving distance for me soo do able!!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :bravo: GREAT POST!!

I'm not positive yet if I'll be able to attend the meet up (money wise and date-wise - did we choose a date yet?) but I will CERTAINLY be putting money from work aside for it and I'm quite sure that I will have enough by the time payment time comes around. But I would absolutly be fine with paying $10 to start with.

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:confused:). 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. :D

FL is still my vote (shocking!:eek:) but Savannah is a great idea too!
