How many are rolling in Monday? We can keep it simple for day one and meet near wherever everyone is staying or meet at a restaurant to start things off. Based on the head count I will come up with a spot for us to start getting in trouble.

Must be nice to not have to work for a living.

I'm the only one in the planning group that has a job Dr. Frank. It is called multitasking. I was better at it when I was younger.

Welcome to TX ED. We will have some fun between the rain showers we are going to get.

I don't like rain. That's why I chose CA to live.

I never liked rain, until I experienced Florida rain. Love it.

Amy and I will arrive mid-afternoon Monday. Drop off the trailer, check into hotel. If any dinner plans, we're in. Staying in north Austin, Domain area as suggested.

Glad we're trailering. We'd have a few inches deep of love bugs to somehow get off the GT. I'm sure Texas has some Texas-sized bugs waiting for us.

Which Hotel Gary? We can meet there. Ed do you have your car yet? Anyone else going we can meet at 4 at Xentric's hotel. How about a short cruise and some high end barbecue to get started - County Line on the Lake? This short run should help us avoid or minimize traffic.

Not sure we can be ready by 4 though. 10 hour drive from Biloxi. Maybe by 5 if we push it and don't get effed up in Baton Rouge and Houston traffic. Hate to have you hanging out at a hotel without a bar waiting for us.

Might be best for us to just meet at a restaurant. No worries if Monday doesn't work. We'll be ready for a full day Tuesday.

What say you Ed? We can scoot the meet to 6, but traffic will be a bitch. we could also do killer Mexican food near downtown.

Hey Gary let me know your eta after you get through Houston. Haven't heard from Ed. There are some nice dinner spots near your hotel.

Just arrived. Long day. We're beat. We're going to skip dinner this evening, but we'll be ready for any Tuesday adventures.

I didn't know Austin has love bugs and fire ants. Feels just like home but less humid. :)
