I'm considering driving. It's not all that much longer after you take security and changeover time into consideration. Plus, I can't find a decent flight time back. If I flew, I would either have to stay an extra night or miss the last part of the exhibition.

Flying? No flying here! My feet are staying on the ground, or in the car, rather. We'll be driving. It's about a 10 hour drive from little bro's. We hope to leave on Saturday sometime.

Toni, good for you on ordering your tickets! :rock:

I have my plane tickets already...Brenda and I ordered them a couple months ago. Anyway, I'm leaving Boston on Tuesday night and meeting up with Brenda when we both layover in Philly. We should be landing in St. Louis around 9pm on Tuesday night I think. Then we're both flying home on Monday. I love that the Monday is Martin Luther King Day since I have that day off from work and don't need to take any extra day off.

I'm SO excited :) :) :)

I have to leave Friday Night (Jan. 6) in order to get into STL sometime in the afternoon... I hate layovers (the more landings and take offs, the more chance of me feeling sick! LOL)

I hate that traveling to and from Alaska is sooooooooooooo long :p lol


oh well, it'll be worth it

Speaking of snow, how likely is it to snow on us up there? Do I need to budget for snow tires?:sheesh:

We had one big snow last year. It's always possiable. But nobody buys snow tires. Hoping for a warm Jan.

Thanks! At least I won't be doing the driving. This Florida gal has never driven in ice, much less snow.

Well, I am not sure about St. Louis drivers but where I live they can't drive on dry pavement let alone snow / ice. :laugh:
I am an old Northern Indiana girl so I can.
Heck when I first moved here it started to snow and everyone was ready to go home. Gotta go home it's snowing......:rofl:

we seem to get something up here every ten years... 79 we got Tai & Randy and Dorothy (in KENAI no less)

in 89 we got Walt Disney On Ice with Scott Hamilton (we had great seats)

in 99 we got Scott Hamilton & Katarina Witt's Skating Spectacular... which was way cool




so in 09 maybe we'll get something cool up here again



oh and in 99 Josee got Scott a good one when she smacked him with a snowball for the TV news people :laugh:



oh and if anyone cares, I end up getting into STL at noon on the 6th! I don't want to be there so early but it's the only thing I could get.... anyone else coming in that soon?

With the weather here today, I am just glad it's not next month.
I am on the border of Western KY and So. Ill, little slick driving to work this morning, yep I even slid a little because the car in front stopped real quick, goodthing it was a four lane. Closer it gets I am really not looking forward to the drive.

The mailman brought me a christmas present today. :rofl:
I got my tickets!!! VIP Section 101 Row B
Encluded was a program voucher and collector pin.
For what this trip is costing there should be some freebies :rofl:
Staying at the Hyatt, been thinking about Valet parking so I don't have to worry
about my car all week but it's $18 a day still just might be worth it. Regular parking is $12 but across the street from hotel.
Hope to see / meet some of you there.
