mbcasey: I forgot...he only has 1.5 bathrooms...well there is a garden hose in the backyard...
For the men, right? The women need the shower. 
Our toiletries don't fit well in our hands while we wash...unless, of course, you're volunteering to assist those in need? 
How bout Louisville Kentucky? I have a lot of room here...

sweetowen: Johns Hopkins reminds me of the time I got lost, driving myself & my daughter to Ocean City, MD. I ended up in the SLUMS of Baltimore & pulled into a McDonald's to ask for directions. This older gentleman was coming out. I asked him how to get to OC from there. He said I could take 695 to 95 & go over the bridge in Annapolis. I said, "Ooohhh, I don't like big bridges!" So he said, "Well, it's either that or the tunnel." I opted for the bridge. He offered to lead me out of town, to the highway. I said I just needed to use the ladies room real quick & I'd be ready. Then he said, "You'll need one of these" & pulled some tokens out of his pocket. I said, "You need to PAY to go to the bathroom??" He told me no, they were to keep the drug dealers out.
Then, he barrelled through Baltimore, past the hospital. I could barely keep up!! We ended up having about 7 bridges to cross! I was a total MESS til we got there. I quickly mixed myself a STRONG drink before my daughter & I went to the boardwalk. Felt much better too.

Don't ever drive in Pittsburgh if you hate bridges. Way too many of those in the city for you, and it seems you always have to go over them. "Three Rivers" is a reality here, and creates many more than three bridges.
I live less then an hour from A.C.. If Atlantic City is picked stay in one of the hotel-casinos. Anything a block away is run down.When it was put on the ballot to have casino gameling in A.C. The selling point was they would revitalize the city.The city is run down but not bad to go to.
some place NY or NJ ?
Of the listed ones, atlantic city.

I'm so sorry!! I've been crazy busy at work!! Looking it over. Be back shortly.
Well, it seems we have a TIE! It's between Atlantic City & Virginia Beach.
Should I start a new poll or can y'all just let me know what you'd prefer? Which will it be?

Which ever preferalby here so I dont have to take off work lol. Here being va beach
Bump! Thanks for your response, crazedangel. Anybody else?
why not make a dead-line? vote ends at .... and when the time is up the place with the most votes wins??
I vote to have it in Ocean Springs Mississippi--the other east coast beach.
Va Beach would be the best for me. But so many people here to try and arrange around. Best wishes on choosing the location. I will try and attend where ever it is at.

You know that would DEFINITELY get my vote too Big John! Unfortunately, we can't make that an option.
I think the votes swaying to VA Beach. I'll post a thread to get a prospective month.
I am game for most anything, anywhere, anytime... just not sure work will agree.

So how are things swaying right down Owen?

It's a tie between AC & VA Beach. Lots have said they'd like to go to VA Beach. But nothing will be open... not even restaurants!
So what time of the year are we talking about?

like i said personaly the best time to come here is durning the neptune festival. and that is in OCT. The summer is really bad here in the way of prices. but then again there is alot to do here durning the summer.

Virginia Beach hasn't been set in stone. As I said, it was a tie between Atlantic City & Virginia Beach. I'M opting for AC, as there is soooo much more to do there.
so has anything been picked?
