Official Sign-ups for Shipwreck Island!!

Hey there everyone,
OK, I think we're ready to do the final sign-ups for Shipwreck Island. You should see a new "Poll" over on the side-bar, which should help with all of us signing up. Just to be sure, we'll try this a couple ways: please use the side-bar to make your choice, but also send me an e-mail (tonyfotsch@tumct.org) just to be sure on this first one.
Details for the trip:
- Meet at Church at 8:30 on Sat. morning. We'll take the bus (seats 14 + driver), but will need to have a couple other vehicles. Mapquest says it is approx. 260 miles round-trip. I think we can all chip-in for the other drivers?
- Please choose between a pizza meal or burger meal with your entrance package. The package with pizza is $30.95, and burger/fries is $31.95. Drinks are included in both. This goes for anyone OVER 36in. All children under 36in. get in for free, but you will have to pay for their own meal.
- Each person going will need to let me know of their meal choice, please.
- We cannot bring coolers, etc. into the park, unfortunately.
- Park hours are 10:30 - 4:30 on Saturday. They are 1-hour earlier in Panama City. So, leaving at 9:00 our time will get us there at 10:30 their time. We'll can figure out departure time on Saturday!
Looking forward to this great trip!

Decisions for "Shipwreck Island" before posting...

Hey there everyone,
I hope I'm not jumping the gun on this. But, after contacting the water-park, I had a couple questions:
1. It turns out they ARE taking group rates next Sat. We just need to get 20 people;-) But, one possibility is that they have a package deal for park entrance fee AND voucher for meals for anyone over 35 in. It is $30.95 for a pizza, or $31.95 with burger & fries (drink included in either one). Does this seem like something we'd like to do (it seems like a good idea to me)?

2. If so, I need to know what people want for their meals to make the purchase ahead of time. Again, kids under 36in. get in for free, but you would need to buy their food on-site.

3. What time for travel? Mapquest gives it roughly 2.5 hours to get over there, but we gain an hour with the time difference. The park hours are 10:30-4:30 next Sat. If we met at the Church at 8:30, to get on the road by 9:00, that would get us there roughly 10:30 their time. Or, we can go later if people wanted...

Please try to respond to this blog asap so I can put the "official" invite for the trip on the blog and e-mail quickly.
Soooo looking forward to this with everyone!
God's blessings,
Tony

YA's Night Out

So here is a tentative plan: 7:00 Dinner @ Ray's Steal City http://rayssteelcity.com/
And then go across the street to catch the 8:45 or 9:30 showing of
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen !
You could meet up for just dinner or just the movie if that suits you.
Maybe post if your in, so that someone can call and see about getting a table.
Woo Hoo :) see ya'll tomorrow

Welcome to the blog...
