SPI in November

[scottman]

Anyone going this year, I'm driving down on 11-21 staying through 11-29 at La Quinta.

Heather and I are on the same timeline Sun Country into Padre 11/21 with return 11/30. If anyone has idea's how to get extra gear down without all the extra fee's we are considering shipping gear down or paying someone to carry gear down if they are driving down during the same timeframe. We are looking at 5 kites and 4-5 boards (64 door being the biggest), thinking Sun Country could easily hit us for a extra $200 for the extra bag and over the linear size limit with the door.

BTW: Sun Country has been offering fare sales lately - keep watching!

[scottman]

Rob, being your the first one to reply to my email and the fact that you and Heather are some really cool people, I would have room or could make room in my truck to bring all your stuff down with me when I drive, as always there is always a catch I guess if you want to call it that, I would be leaving on 11-21 to drive down there at around 2:00 which means at a straight drive down 24 hrs later I would get there around 2:00 or so on the 22nd. I'll leave it up to you two to see if you want me to take it with me or not, I didn't know if you would want to be without your stuff until late in the afternoon the next day? I'll let you decide but I could take it all no problem and any other gear you would have, just let me know.

I'm flying down 11/26 - 12/1 with little Kayla. Is anyone else bringing any little ones?

Sounds like there are a good handful of people driving down. I'd be more than happy to pay someone to lug my board down or go in w/someone at the airport and pack boards into one bag.

I always have my "little one " with me...but I can't make it in Nov.


Sorry KT but I couldn't stop myself

[scottman]

Unfortunately I can't get down in April so I have to go again in November, hope we get some good wind then and some warmer weather this time!

[Chris B]

I'm thinking about going for the month of November. If people want to go in on the house with me I'm game.

Seriously? She is hired! My daugher is 10; that works out well

Just checked rates again at La Quinta and they just spiked there Friday and Saturday rates from $79.00 to $149.00, the rest of the week from Sunday on is $79.00. The Tarvellodge is only $47.00 per night for all week including the weekends, I know where I'm staying, I can't believe La Quinta, what a joke, and I can't belive they are better than anyone else, cripes your just sleeping there.

SteveB:

We will miss your little one on the beach this fall

[krazykatie]

Paws off bluewatergirl! the sitter is mine! Glad to hear that so many little ones are making it down this fall! Should be fun.

[steveb]

My little one and I are feeling really left out.
Heather and Katie, please bully Nancy into coming down on her own, I don't have the vacation, but she does.

[scottman]

Sounds like a catfight on the beach here....

[Debbie]

How about October in SPI? I've never been there but would like to drive sometime in October and stay until it gets too cold. When are the winds best there (normally)??

Anyway, I'll be driving down with my 10 lb. "little one" which is a miniature schnauzer. Anyone interested in babysitting one of these?

Sure thing Steve! Nancy can hang w/me anyday. I'll get on her.
