Why not think about poppin in at Cabo in November with us to help hold you over til April??? It's gonna be a great time!!!
I have actually been checking out prices and my schedule to see if its possible, I have found that it is pretty cheap from New York, So may even get cheaper as the summer goes on, I wont know for sure for a month or so, but I will definately let everyone know if possible, seems like a good bunch going
We still haven't made a decision about Cabo, I say yes Jeff says no.. However come hell or high water we will be back in april.
Whatttttttttttttttttsssssssssssssssss up! What did I miss. Glenn and I are back again and recovery is much easier this time. I got more sleep this time some because I had the second day syndrome. I miss you all. We had fun this time too but April was way more fun. I think it's too early to check prices. Glenn and I usually pay 1200/person for april so Deb I think that is way to high.
Thats exactly how I feel too, I want to make sure that no matter what I do I have enough saved up for April cuz I want to add a day or two to next years april trip, So Cabo sounds great and seems cheap and if I can do it I will, but April definately takes priority if it comes down to money
Same here we have those 3 extra days they gave us we want to add on to next year to make it 10 days. But you never know, still tempting.
Not sure if this is true but thought its interesting You'll never look at the game the same way again! Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape. Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter. Paper maps had some real drawbacks – they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they get wet, they turn into mush. Someone in MI-5 got the idea of printing escape maps on silk. It's durable, can be scrunched-up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes no noise whatsoever. At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd. When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy to do its bit for the war effort. By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages', dispatched by the International Red Cross to prisoners of war. Under the strictest of secrecy, in a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy where Allied POW camps were regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded into such tiny dots that they would actually fit inside a Monopoly playing piece. As long as they were at it, the clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to add: 1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass 2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together 3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money! British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set – by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free Parking square. Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly sets.. Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another, future war. The story wasn't declassified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honored in a public ceremony. It's always nice when you can play that 'Get Out of Jail Free' card! I realize some of you are (probably) too young to have any personal connection to WWII (Dec. '41 to Aug. '45), but this is still interesting
