Eri, its miles away from a fair few of us (I'm in Sydney, Australia).
However, I am trusting that some very clever person can orgainise a video
conference so that those of us who can't physically be there can still join
in.

If I'm able to make it, and if we can plan at least some of the events (or
*the* event?) at a spot with WiFi service, I'd be glad to arrange some
sort of video conferencing.

Charleen and I were talking on Saturday evening and we've come up with
an idea. )

She mentioned that she has met several catslaves who live in the
Florida area. I've met several catslaves who live in the DC area. We
were thinking, as the idea has been muted several times, of perhaps
organising a Catslaves conference in Orlando next year. (18 months
away). The long time span would be to allow people to save up for
flights etc, there are a couple of people in the Orlando area who
would be willing to help organise stuff, and the reason i suggest
Orlando, is because we (me) can get cheap flights from Europe and we
(I) could tie it into a vaccation to visit Florida.

Who would be interetsted?


I'd like to be a part of this, but it all depends on Rob and how things are
going here. I really, strongly, deeply recommend that September is the
WORST time of the year to visit around here. You're better off in October
or June. Hurricanes are possible then, but less likely. Most hurricanes
can be rode out, but I still wouldn't want to be a part of a hurricane party
in Orlando. I do want to visit there and I love the idea of Tampa some day,
and Daytona sounds fun when the college kids aren't there. Myrtle Beach
South Carolina has possibilities as does Savannah Georgia (I love that town
and I've only been there once) and Julie's stomping ground Atlanta GA.
Personally, I'm game for most anything, so long as I don't have to organize
it.. Too bad we can't do a catslave group cruise in the Caribbean.

chance to save $$ so that they can come.

If I may make a suggestion, it might be better to schedule a trip to
Florida, especially inland like Orlando, more like in February, rather
than the summer. It gets very humid there in the summer. Of course,
you've lived in Belize, so you probably wouldn't bat an eye at Florida's
humidity. But I would consider it unbearable.

January and February are actually the best months to go there. It's
after the holidays, so you don't have hordes of people travelling there
to visit their retired parents. And it's before Spring Break, so you
don't have to deal with a different horde, of hormonally overdosed
college kids. The weather at that time of year is really lovely. Not
that I've spent any time in Orlando, so I can't fully vouch for that.
But I've been in coastal places such as West Palm and Daytona, quite a
few times in mid-winter, and it's beautiful.

That might not work quite so well, savings-wise, though - as it would
give people less than a year to save up. So, FWIW...

We can get 3 night cruises from Miami to the Bahamas and back for
between $330 and $370 per person, group rates.........

Helen M (Who really wants Pam there too)

Anyone else up for a cruise????

I definitely am!

You're *kidding*. That is really cheap!

I've never been on a cruise. It could be interesting. I tend toward
seasickness, but there are drugs for that... and it would solve the
humidity problem, too.

I've never been in a cruise... the only downside is no cats!

Hmm...Orlando...haven't been there since about 1990.

I'd be up for trying!

Anything in the Washington, DC area, or north of New York City
would be good, too.

All assuming I could find someone to take proper care
of the furry beasties, of course...

Purrs to all-

Chris, Tripper, Katie, Hazard and Oreo

I like the DFW ...I'm close to there....I don't do coastal cities...fear of
large bodies of water and all that silly stuff.... :-)

I think it would be great! May I suggest putting together some kind of
poll to see if that is the meeting place that would attract the most rpca
folks? There are great airfare deals from Europe to pretty much any major
airport in the US. Some of the main ones that come to mind:

Houston (IAH)
Dallas (DFW)
Atlanta (I hear it's hell to fly through that one though)
Chicago (ditto)
NYC area (JFK, LGA)
Seattle (SEA)
Miami (MIA)

Something to think about.

I was thinking a cruise also I got a travel agent hookup at carnival and
a 3 or 4 day cruise would run about a few hundred dollars. I paid for a
single occupancy double is cheaper with insurance and a descent room with
prepaid gratuities it was $460.00 that was 5 day 4 night cruise going to
Freeport and Nassau


For that price all the food and lodging included not bad for 5 days 92
dollars a day heck hotel, food and gas would cost that much if not more


I talked to Rob and he's game to try this. So I'm now going to check out
passports and apply for both of us to get them. I think the idea of a
cruise intrigues him and that is good. Something to try for. So, how many
of us would like a cruise and how many would prefer dry land?

Cruise: 1 (2 if I can count Rob)
