she is going to love all that... I miss Charleston so much, I used to live there and I would stay at the waterfront park... I'd just sit there and swing all day long.... have lots of fun and know I'm wishing I was there...  Stephie

Hey Deb!  Thanks for posting the info.  I know Jill appreciates all of this.  In my talking to Jill I was under the impression that we were going to do Poogan's and Carriage ride on Friday because I am off.  So if it is not a big deal, can me play with the schedule a little so I can go on the Carriage Ride and do the downtown thing on Friday, like the market.  I also know that Susann had suggested Karoke on Friday night which I think would be fun.  Also if I can make another suggestion, I would do the Carriage Ride in the AM and the boat trip in the afternoon.  Those carriages are REALLY SLOW, as you know when you are behind one while driving DT .  Plus you will get the afternoon ocean breeze on the boat.  Also I can get discounted tickets for the carriage ride.  It is not alot off I think about $2.  There is also a 9am or something like that for one of the companies that is only $15 as opposed to $20. Just some ideas. Thanks again! Julie

Yes, the days and times can be changed around.  Why don't we take a poll to see how many wants to go on the carriage ride.  After so many people we will need to make reservations won't we?  I will turn the carriage ride stuff over to you, take the poll, collect the money and get the tickets (unless we can get them on the spot).  I would call ahead though, I went on line and found out some info, I like the discount. Why don't we swap Thursdays and Fridays schedule around....(I was trying to plan that for you to be able to there anyhow)    We can change the carriage ride to early, then the boat tour to after that (check boat time schedule), Can you get reduced tickets for that also?   and then play down town at the market.  We would need time to shower and change to go out and do Karoke, so that might be a 9pm thing. When I told Jill the thought on Karoke, she liked it.  The only situation we ran into was someone suggested we do it Thursday after group AND Friday.  It would be fun to do it on Friday, but then after group on Thursday, we need to come up with something different to do.  She wants to do something different on each night.  Even if Thursday is a relaxed evening while we sit around and chat. Call me when you get a chance and we can work out all of the kinks.

I will check on the carriage rides tomorrow.  I think I have to get the tickets in advance from my HR department.  I took the rest of the day off to try and sleep but it is not working.  I will post in a minute about the poll for the carriage ride.  I am not sure about the boat trip but I will check tomorrow and let you know.  I will try and call tomorrow to let you know.

Thanks

Julie

OK I just checked our perks and I can not get the discount tickets for the boat ride  Sorry.  Did you have down the Aquarium?  I can get discount tickets for that place as well.  Like I said I will call you tomorrow and will talk .

Thanks Julie

 

Hey Deb, got a couple of things to ask.  I work DT and would love to meet you guys for lunch at Poogan's Porch on Friday.  Maybe you could call me when you are headed that way and I can come join you? Also, I can't do much Thursday night after LCBB so I am going to leave that to those who are off on Friday.  I know I am a bit of a wuss, but getting up at 6:00 every morning, I need my beauty sleep .  Besides, I read if you get 8 hours a night you lose weight better.....and I try anything and everything in that regard..... Becky and I were talking about going to the bar on Ashley Phosphate they went to before for karoke.  It is a small, quiet bar so we can enjoy each other, plus dance, sing and have fun.  Sometimes when you go to a big place like Wild Wings there isn't much chance to talk....just a suggestion/thought.

Do you know which beach we are going to on Sunday.  Just curious......

IOP, Mary's family has a small beach housed that we can park at and shower.      Call me when you get a chance,  708-1816 to talk about the bar on Friday night.  DO they sing Karoke there?   Are you up for the pool party at Susan's on Sat?

Yep, planning to be there....need to get directions and see what I can bring....but I guess we have time for that.

what is IOP?
