Carefull Susan... this group might be able to fill up that suburban on a liquor run!

We'll have our Hummer, too, so we can make runs between all points.

I think we're covered with a Suburban and a Hummer for liquor run - :app: :app:

As well as transport to college football game viewing venues on Saturday. We've got y'all covered. :)

I'll bring my favorite country and western songs:
Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget

It's Five O'clock Somewhere

Tequilla Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

I Love This Bar

Im Here For The Party

Pop A Top Again

Ngaire, we are hoping your "geeks" get the cam up and running.
We trust you will all wave to the webcam at the party!
At 7pm on Saturday, Dallas time, it will be 11am on Sunday down here.

Have a great time everyone.

F&W--thanks for letting me know what time it will be here in Australia. I'll try to watch the webcam from the ship, but we'll see--the internet tends to be verrrrry slow as you know. See you soon in Cairns or Port Douglas.

Oh Peggy, you know we will miss you! But you and Jerry are cruising so we are all jealous! ;)

I am liking this weather report!!

Me too!

Dear F&W....hope you tune in so I can send a wave to you and you can meet Lars! Happy homecoming to you. Hope we can connect next summer!

One more silly question for HoDown....dress code for guys....country club casual???? :)

Lars thinks he need to pack a suit? :eek:

Editing to let you know I found the answer to my question in another thread - no suits will be traveling to Dallas!

JUST TO CONFIRM MARGO NO SUITS ALLOWED.

Country Club or Elegant Casual. Same dress as on Regent on a casual night. Slacks and a shirt (which CAN BE A POLO SHIRT AT MY HOUSE) for men and ladies pants and tops or dresses. You all know the routine on casual night on a Regent ship.

Thank you Ngaire....suits are BANDED!!!! Can't wait to finally meet you.

PS...got the email about flight delays, good planning. Thanks.

Joanna - we need to add two more tunes:

I like my women a little on the trashy side

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Cheers, Anne

Knew I could count on you Anne ;) ;) two of my favorites.....life stories through music :app:

Have I missed it? What is the address for the webcam?

All My Ex's Live in Texas! <img border="0" alt="[beer]" title="" src="graemlins/beer.gif" />

Not ready yet to give the address for the webcam it is a work in progress. We have it working but Ken is fine tuning a few details still. All you would see now is a staircase.

Just checked SuperShuttle from DFW to Aloft and it was $50 each way for two people.

Does anyone have a ballpark figure for a cab in each direction?

We arrive at 2:20pm on Friday.

Cheers! Ray

Ray....good question. We arrive Friday at 2:10 on American - share a cab? It may be complicated to meet so don't worry if that's doesn't work for you.

I think everyone should sing "Yellow Rose Of Texas" to Ngaire ...(only Texas song I know)

Good one!

Margo:

Hmmmmm, raises another question. I'm coming in Cont'l and you're doing AA. Wonder how far apart they are. Maybe someone here knows but in the meantime, I'll try to find an answer on the web to see it something like that is feasible.

Cheers! Ray
p.s.: My cell # is: 440-779-9700

Margo:

Rats, doesn't look like Cont'l and AA flights can link up.

As much walking as you do to raise money for breast cancer research, the hike from the airport to Plano would probably be a piece of cake for you if you didn't have to fuss with luggage.

Hey, see you and Lars at the hotel.

Cheers! Ray & Penny

I believe Ngaire cautioned us awhile ago about coordinating for different airlines, as there are so many terminals at DFW, and you never know which onewill be assigned to your flight.

I'm coming in on USAir flight 1273 from PHL at 2:16 on Friday. Pat and Ray, are you by chance on that same flight?

Pat, I'll teach you how to "Hook 'Em Horns" & sing my all time fav, "The Eyes of Texas". :ch:

At DFW you can travel quickly between terminals on the Skytrain, although it is behind security, so that is OK if you are just carrying on, but it won't work if you are checking luggage.

AA flights come into terminals A,B,C,D and they change all the time - the AA flights on MD80s from Albuquerque go into A,C,D - no rhyme or reason - it seems totally random; they send the regional jets and American Eagle flights into B.

For other airlines check your flight arrival status today and that will give you an idea at which terminal you will arrive.

Those sample taxi fares are higher than your shuttle, Ray. we are renting a car and trying to hook up with the Matassas on Friday. If anyone is leaving on Sunday morning around our departure time - 10:55 AM - we can take 2 people with us then.

Ray,

Have you considered renting a car. Given the shuttle and cab fares, renting a car may be viable. We rented a Prius from Hertz for three days. With discounts, the total cost for the three-day rental, including taxes and fees, is about $82.00.

Thanks for the suggestion - I just found a Prius for the weekend for under $70. :)

We're scheduled to land in D Terminal (around gate 37 or 38) at 2:55 AA from O.C. in case anyone is around. We'll just bring carry-on so look for a crazy NYer wearing his cowboy hat.

If you are comfortable driving that actually makes more sense to rent a car and drive. The transfer is expensive from the airport to Plano and the super shuttle is per person so that does not help. Meeting up with someone else unless you are on the same exact plane will be a hassle.

My Hertz reservation is $67 for a mid-size car with NeverLost picking up Friday, returning on Sunday (staying under 48 hours for total rental time).

If you have AAA and Amex Card, then:
Use AAA discount rate code and
American Express promotional coupon: 137675.

If you don't get NeverLost, it will be a lot less, about $38 total for the 2 days.

Could someone email me a copy of the Ho-Down pin? I'd like it for my photo library.

Cheers! Ray

Ray, I am sending it now.

Got it. Thanks!

Cheers! Ray
