Larry, From what I am reading, you are doing one heck of a job. Best of luck to you on all the preparations you are trying to put together. Sounds like it will be a blast from the past if several are able to attend. Big hug for you
USThumper: I got confidence in you Larry, you can do it.
Hey Thanks Thumper
And You as Well Sassy.... We will have more details and Post as soon as seem Proper, I may Go DRIVE to the Airport and Look it all over too, and do some Talking to find the best options... so Just everyone start saving your Pennies
I have a Very Good Friend who Is an EXCELENT musician, Has a Great Band, and If all chipped in, could Make it a Real Deal!!
Tho I dont want to over Speak, this will all Play by Ear and Hopefully this Could Happen..... His Band Is Great,,, so we will let time rule! H-Rod
Just to Make a Coment, Due to the Efforts , Time, Cost,Ect, I May consider Like 3-4 Days, for those who care to stay Longer, I think 2 Days is just time to get our Feet wet, But MORE time I Really think would be More Productive, as far as 2 Day to meet everyone, and a Couple More Days to Couple Up..... and Really enjoy the Time togather,,,
So I am Considering 3-4 Days..... and a Super Turn out, so Start Planning NOW, and save a Couple extra vacation Days, and a Few X-tra Pennies..... Tho this is the United States Get Togather, All is Welcome! Lets Makeit the Best one Ever... so Plan Now
Evidently You didnt read where it was Posted to be, and the projected Dated....
A CS Get togather is so a GROUP of Singles Can Share Time TOGATHER, Learning who may be there Match, If we went to a distracting Expensive Place, we would be Going In Circles trying to keep up with The Jones, and DISTRACT those who Really want to meet, the Others, The Atmosphere Must be right for it to be Successful....
Example, You will NOT get to Know others Scattered thruout a Casino, Clicking Buttons, or watching Prostitudes, Flagging down Tricks...
After You Meet and find your Match, THEN Vegas may be a Trip for two , to enjoy each others Company....

Is there a state park or just a campground anywhere near? I for one would be camping. The state parks generally have nicer campgrounds and cost less. All I really need is a place to park the van where I can plug it in if its cold.I already figured out my route, unless I need to stop to pick up someone else.
We will Meet in the Bar- Lounge Area to the left side at main entrance, opposite of the Checkin Counter..... At 5:00 PM, CST, There is a Happy Hour Starting at 5:30 - 7:30 PM Will be at Embassy Suites (At Kansas City International Airport Location)7640 NW Tiffany Springs Pky. Kansas City, Missouri Tel.1-816-891-7788 Direct 1-816-801 2221
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. April 9th-12th 2010 If any one can only stay a couple of days, that is Fine too!I will get a sign up sheet soon, and still have a few details to work out...
Everyone will Schedule their Own Rooms and Flights, I would start by suggesting Travelosity, and get a Vacation Pkg... which would be Round trip tickets, and Motel Fees and/ Rental Car if so desired.... I set this up so we May get by without a Car, unless you want to visit Sites ect.... I am still checking to see about Group rates, and these Suites and have An extra Bed or fold out sofa, for any wanting to share expences and Share a room... Here is a link to start with for Rates! MAKE SURE to look at the Embassy Suites at Kansas City International airport, and NOT the plaza, or another location...
I Actually Rode 33 Miles to the Airport Yesterday to LOOK, and I was Glad i did, as Many of these Motels would NOT have been Capable of Handleing a LARGE GROUP.... This is a Very Cosy Set up with room for a Hundred or more people if Nessasary, I would like to see this Be the Best Get togather Yet, There is 3 other motels a Ruby Tuesdays, a waffle shop, a Crakerbarrel Resteraunt -Gift Shop, and a 3:00AM Night Club all withing walking distance......
Many Motels had NOTHING arround them, Handy, so this looks like we could have 200 People and still be Ok, I have No Clue how many will come, But Boy Scouts Motto, BE PREPAIRED!
These other Motels are somewhat cheaper, tho as i said, not Capable of a Large Croud at once.... And you get what you Pay for! If You MUST, I will share these if needed, but all Togather here would be the Best.... Heated Pool... Free Breakfast every Morning to order, and should be totally Remodeled By April... The Meeting Rooms are Extra and will just all pitch in for one if deemed Nessary.... I will try to get a signup Sheet soon and wait a few days before scheduling tickets to see if I can get any Discounts, I have the Phone # to Director of Catering who handles alot on the Groups..... It is alot of Work to set this up so please be patient and Please be Nice, this can Really be Fun, and i am doing My Best for One Person, Thanks for Your Patients and Hospitally, Sincerely, Hotrod-Larry
Again Be sure it is the Embassy Suites at the International Airport.
I will be adding info as time progresses, Lets Meet one another!!!!! Lets Make it The best EverT

Thumper, One that i do know of Now is Smithville Lake Campground IT is Aprox. 12 Miles away , with Power, There is also Two Conservation parcels but not sure which is closer and Maybe No Power, but one is Platte River Conservation Area ... Smithville has some Charges for campers , be like 10 Dollars an night, or week pass probably, Just look up either on the net...:thumbsup or park there.

has anyone thought about CRUISE SHIP? There are Singles cruises that can be organized and you can combine fun, vacation and travels all together:) Winter time is the best to go to Bahamas for example.

It sort of makes more sense to have regional get-togethers to me. By looking at the results so far, my guess is that most people would agree with this as it can be difficult if not expensive to travel great distances. It also looks like most people would prefer either spring or summer.
Anyway, that is how I would vote - Regionally and Spring/Summer!
Good luck with your program OP! This is a giant job
DonDon67: hey guys and gals me and pubwrite would like for you to think about tennesse or georgia?
Tennessee would be awesome for me, but Larry has done alot of research and work to keep it fair to all the US. I think he is checking feedback at this time before he posts his sign up.
tennesseejudy: Tennessee would be awesome for me, but Larry has done alot of research and work to keep it fair to all the US. I think he is checking feedback at this time before he posts his sign up.
There is nothing saying we cant go to the one in Mo. and one in Tenn.
Has he thought about putting up a Meeting Thread and have people sign up to find out how many people are thinking of attending? If it is dozens and 100's he plan is okay. If it is just a few of us then we should modify the plan and adjust to what they want.
