Cool! We now have a regional meet for 2008 and 2009! That is awesome.

bntn · 08-05-2007, 02:23 PM

Been to Myrtle Beach, loved it and want to return. Will put it on my calendar when you give me the date. Do you have an idea of what hotel(s)? I know there are several in N. Myrtle Beach that are really nice.

jwally · 08-05-2007, 04:04 PM

Bntn, we are currently looking at hotels. There is a new resort planned near Barefoot Landing and will be open in our time frame. They were the first to respond to our inquiry thru the Chamber of Commerce. Lee and I plan to meet with them soon. I just need some ballpark numbers of attendees for them.

I have the same information on the two Solstice forums.

**JohnD** · 08-05-2007, 09:36 PM

Great idea!

Wrong ocean...

MandiLu · 08-05-2007, 09:45 PM

I am sure I could talk the hubby into this one.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Keep us posted.

R Sky Rox · 08-05-2007, 10:42 PM

Sounds like fun, we love Myrtle Beach. Please keep us posted, too.

Sorry, JohnD, we're on this side of the continent! Having grown up in SoCal, I have to say that there are beaches on the west coast that I like better than Myrtle (voted #1?! hmmmm have the people who voted BEEN to Long Beach, Newport Beach, Catalina Island, Venice Beach, Manhattan Beach, etc?? Or maybe my youthful memories of those beaches glorifies them more than they deserve). Myrtle Beach is nice, although very commercialized, but it's so great to go to the coast. Myrtle is very developed, but that brings good dining choices, many family attractions, and lots of places to golf for those who like it. . . but the sand just isn't the same as the beaches by the Pacific Ocean (and let's not even talk about Hawaii!).

I haven't been to Florida or the Caribbean, so I don't know about the beaches there. Of course, I doubt I'll ever go on a Sky cruise in either of those places, anyway--FL is too far to drive, and we're certainly not planning to take the Sky to the Caribbean!

We might be interested...

HartsvilleSKY · 08-06-2007, 11:30 AM

I am deffinately interested in this one. Please keep me posted, also can I get some more information on the Grand Strand Club?

Well John, after all we are on the right coast.
I totally understand why you can't make it. Same reason I won't be going to Vegas. Well, I might lose more money that you would here.

Hope you got your Sky back in running order.

Jesus...2009?!?!??! I can barely make plans for this coming weekend at the Dragon run!!!

If I can make it, I definitely will but I probably won't know until March of 2009.

jrarant · 08-06-2007, 09:17 PM

The event has been added to the Carolinas Kappa Club website under News. Once there is a definate date I will add it to the calendar.

Hey LC, It does seem a long way out. But if we don't get it started now, some other club or organization will schedule something. All Lee and I have to do is the planning and live long enough to make it happen.

jwally · 08-11-2007, 09:39 PM

Hi Guys, I just wanted to say that although we posted this as a regional event, we would love to have all the Skys and Sols owners here. It is open and welcome to anyone who owns or can steal a Kappa for the event.

We are meeting with several resorts next week for scheduling and prices. We really need a good estimate of number of rooms required.

If you think this could fit into your schedule around the end of April 2009, please respond.

Thanks,
Joe

SKY Spy · 08-12-2007, 12:24 PM

You can pencil me in tentatively... A little far for "sure thing" still...

BA...

ChiliSky · 08-12-2007, 04:48 PM

yes include me as well

ThunderSky · 08-12-2007, 06:05 PM

I like your idea of planning this so far in advance.
With this much notice I'm sure my wife and I could get our vacation time organized and make it a week or 10 day trip. Sounds fun.
Let me know what dates you are working on.

RMFNSKY · 08-13-2007, 03:06 PM

Even my wife would do this one. I'll have to swing it by her. Put us down but again a little far out for a for sure.
