Ok, the day draws near.  This topic is for final discussion and for people to confirm or bail out so as to give me a general idea of who all is going to be here.

Current plan is for everyone to show up on Friday before 5pm or so if possible.  We'll hang out here and head to downtown London for whatever people want to do, some Laser Quest, some shopping, some eating, whatever else. 

Saturday we'll be heading out for Grand Bend (beach town) in the morning and staying there for several hours.  There's lots to do there besides just the beach.  After that we'll come back and figure out what we want our Saturday night plans to be.  Possible options are hang out at my house, go to the movie theatre again for a movie, go to the drive-in for a movie, or perhaps head to downtown London if we didn't get a chance on Friday.

Sunday will be usual Sunday and some of us will be heading back to Mamamack's again like at the winter meet.  Everyone else is free to head home/wherever whenever they wish.

I'll be cooking meals this time around when we're at my house and if anyone is vegetarian/other speak up so I can arrange the meals accordingly.


(This is all pretty standard stuff but just incase)
Stuff to Bring:
Sleeping bag
Pillow
Swimsuit
Towel
Sunscreen
Shower Stuff
Walking Shoes



Confirmed:
Izekeal
Izekeal's Roommates
Mamamack

Sarevok

I take it that I'll be picking you up. If that's the case, I'll be riding in style in a blue mini-van. I also need to know if Mellowchild is coming with.

MEALS: I'll pitch in as usual; just, please, NO SEAFOOD. I still think fajitas is a good option - it avoids use of the oven (we can make the meat in my slow cooker and pan fry veggies), people can put whatever they want on the wraps (that we can get gluten-free) and there isn't a need to cook side dishes since everything winds up wrapped up in the fajita. Also, I have about 20 pounds of beef in my freezer, so if we can put any of that to use I'd be more than happy to bring it with.

Check it out! I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

Yeah, the plan for Saturday is to make tacos/fajitas.  A slowcooker would be awesome as would some of the beef.  I've got a skillet and a stirfrying pan so we're good in that department.  Also I'll be making some rice, fried beans, a salad, and a dessert of some sort.  On Friday night we'll very likely be eating while we're out and about in London.

Yep, there's a Via station in London.  I checked the times for arrivals on Friday and there's two that arrive at 2:20.  One leaves Toronto at 11:05 the other at 12:10.  There's more trains that day if those times don't work for you.  There are also trains that leave Oshawa and arrive in Toronto, linking up with those two that head to London, however there'd be a bit of a layover and the trains leave Oshawa at 9:51am.

Head to www.viarail.ca for more details.

Trains are awesome.

Anyway, I'm bringing two people with me (aside from the aforementioned dragonx) so it should be fun.

I know I can take the GO to Union, I just wasn't sure exactly how far the GO went or if I had to change to VIA or ???. I'll look into it more later.
