Well, since we’re leaving one week from today I figured it was time for a pre-trip report!

Who:Me (age 42, 7th trip)
DH (age 49, 7th trip)
DS#1 (age 17,5th trip)
DS#1 girlfriend (age 17,2nd trip??)
DS#2 (age 12,6th trip)
DM (age 62, 4th or 5th trip)
DF (age 65, 4th or 5th trip)
DB (age 41, 2nd trip)
DSIL (age 41, 3rd or 4th trip)
DN (age 13,FIRST trip!!!)
When: August 5th or 6th until the 13th.
Where: First night for myself, DH,DS’S, DSGF at the Sheraton Safari Inn with a Priceline rate of $52/nite!! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] We decided to leave a day early and I knew we’d need 2 rooms for that first night since there are 5 of us and I didn’t want to pay much! I also like to check in bright and early to have a better chance to get the room(s) I want! So well check in on Sunday morning at POR and we’ll be there for the rest of the week. The rest of the family will arrive Sunday afternoon. (By the way, we’re splitting the kids up with my parents for sleeping!)
Why: It's all my brother's fault! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]We were all set to take a year off (having just gone the last 3 years) and be responsible adults and put in a new furnace and a deck on the pool. We’ll long about February, DM says that DB and his family want to go this year and since DM and DF have gone twice with us, they want to go with DB’s family too. To which I promptly replied that there was no way they were all going without us and thus, a trip was born! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Of course, I was in charge of everything. (Like that was a real burden!) [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Everyone agreed on a moderate and we decided we’d go with POR again, because we LOVE it there! I did have some thoughts about trying POFQ this time, but let DSIL decide and she said they’d like to go to POR. We all readily agreed to that! We all decided we’d like to see HDDR and thanks to DF’s generosity, we’re all going as his treat! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Next up: Will we all make it, or will some of us go to Oregon instead??? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Thanks for reading!
