Debi Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I'm THERE! I have a new tshirt... I just got one from TheTruth. I passed a quiz they had and they sent me one of their tshirts from the commercial where 1200 people stood outside of the tobacco company asking them to take a day off so 1200 lives could be saved. I thought it was pretty wild that I actually got one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Okay, you Texans - I can get a free trip to Lake Jackson from here (and back) - how long will it take to drive from there to Dallas? It's about 45 minutes to Houston from Lake Jackson/Freeport... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyg Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Snowflake, Depending on how fast you drive, you can get to Dallas from Houston in about 5 hours. Traffic is bad in Houston and in Dallas, but there is a whole lot of country highway in between. We'd love to see you there. By the way, I love your picture--nice to see the face behind the wit!

Snowflake Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Okay, here's some input....if we could ALL manage to get together as a group, we could pick a hotel (or two) and reserve a block of rooms for a better rate... Not being from that particular area, I'm not sure of the "good deals", "Roach Motels" and "Too much for too little" Dallas hotels... Are there any rodeos or county fairs to contend with in May in Dallas? I know that it's impossible to get a hotel room in Augusta, GA, when the Masters are in town...and that the rooms that are usually $50 go for five times that... Need more input....

Rick Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 It is 297 miles in total. I used Mapquest to test this... We will be there since we live here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO_Sugar Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Ok Kids, I just happen to work for a hotel company that has a pretty nice hotel in dowtown Dallas. I spoke with the Director of Sales today and she said she could offer us a "Group Rate" depending on how many rooms we were able to book. If you are serious, please let me know and I can set it up with her. It would be all on an individual reservation system but we would hold a small block based on the response. Either PM me or post here and once I know more what you would like to do I will contact her. She did mention a $99 per night rate if we had 10 - 15 rooms and we can maybe?? do better if we had more. God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveG Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I will stay on top of this. I have relatives in Hurst, Texas, half way between Dallas and Ft. Worth. They would love to hear that I have an excuse to visit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveG Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I'll have to pass on the marquarita, as alcohol is a no-no for me, BUT I will definitely take advantage of the hospitality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
