Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
Deb, Jet Blue is $218 non-stop SFO to Dulles roundtrip. I just booked 5/17 - 5/24.
Hey, I wanted to mention that we have an obligation to buy food/bev from the hotel (it works out to roughly $20/person, like last year) and while we've been talking about a buffet/reception for the Prom night, it doesn't have to be. We could have Saturday or Sunday brunch instead, or something.
Ooh, brunch sounds kinda tempting...OTOH, we probably want foodish things around for the prom anyway, so...
We definitely want a bar for Prom, and IME, hotel party food is generally of a highter quality than hotel breakfast/brunch food.
Bar at the prom. Cash bar I'm assuming.
I'd like munchies at the prom.
Hmm, I do want to do some camping back there. Someone will let me UPS my tent, bag, thermarest, hiking boots to their house in advance so I don't have to drag it around on the plane? I'm so used to the huge temperature drops at night out here, I'm not sure if a mid-weight poly sleeping bag is good enough for late-ish May or if I need a mid or heavy down bag. Any campers know?
Right, cash bar.
Food options: Continental breakfast $17.50; plated breakfast $18.50; plated lunch $22.75; buffet lunch $28.75; plated dinner $33.75; reception $20.00.
Hey. Unfortunately, no. I'm out. My major granting organization is coming to hear my kids plink at their pianos that Friday, so I have to schmooze and rehearse and soothe stage fright.
I think reception is the way to go.
I think reception is the way to go.
Agreed,
Java, I already booked. I didn't even think of Jet Blue.
I'm not sure what a "reception" entails, but the price is right.
Does that include the bartender, or is that just food?
