Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
i'm so totally down for this! end of july/beginning of august may not work for me, though, as i'm moving then :( but late august/beginning of september or after...i'm there :)
just a suggestion - since renting a house might make things complicated financially, what about getting conference rates at a hotel? that way folks could have their own rooms & be responsible for their own payment arrangements. i LOVE the renting a house idea, it just seems like a lot since most of us haven't met one another, so i wanted to throw that out there.

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Is hotel a better idea? I imagine it will be more expensive? I can call in the morning and check on rates. Whatever the majority suggests!! Either way will work for me! I just thought a luxurious vacation home would be neat. Depending on how many people come we can still have our own rooms. I found homes that could accommodate 12. So it's up to yall!
PMs have been sent Ladies!!! Please respond with your email address and any suggestions you may have!

It is true,we don't know each other. What if people bailed on the last minute. Leaving everyone else with the financial responsibilities :(

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
That last place you posted is in Kissimmee!!! waaay too far lol!
But remember, summertime is when a lot of the snowbirds return to thier homes up north, and thats when a LOT of fabulous homes go up for vacation rentals from private owners...
..and there are some amazing homes around here...Ill check things out to see what I can find too.
Also, summer is NOT our season...its probably the most dead youll see it because most people find it too hot here...our tourist/expensive season is wintertime up till around May. After that accomodations and such are much less expensive.

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
it will most likely be more expensive (getting conference rates means it's less expensive than the normal hotel rate, but still likely would be more expensive than sharing a house) - but on the upside, you can accomodate more people, people have the option of sharing rooms or not as they wish, there is more privacy, and less possibility of having financial drama over sharing the costs of a house. and there wouldn't be any huge issues if someone had to back out at the last moment. i love the house idea, i just don't want anyone to end up bearing most of the financial burden for that, that's all.
thanks tg! :)

Kissimme IS far! I was just giving an idea on the kind of house I wanted. After looking at it, it was too plain. Please let me clarify, the house or hotel will be located in Miami, Fl! Aw I can't wait to meet you BlkSharpie!!! I have to give you a big HUG!

Damn I'll be 22 by that time. Will work out just fine for me
Anyone under 21? I think Buffy is.
and
What type of hotel? I'm thinking a 3 1/2 - 4 star? I doubt the hotel will be less than 100 a night. I just checked the Intercontinental Miami Airport and it's $108 a night. Will they give it to us for cheaper with a group? A one star hotel on the beach is $86 ..wow lol. I see that the airport hotels are cheaper. I would LOVE to be on the beach!
Remember Ladies we still have TIME to save for this trip. The hotel idea is also AWESOME so we can pay for our own rooms and don't have to hand money to any one person!

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
I trust easily lol ,..but i c what everyone says hotels sound great and yes i saw some and i like the trump tower but for really nice hotels 4 star i saw on expedia are more than 150 a night

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Personally, I would not get a hotel on Miami beach...Id get one across the bridge either downtown or Coconut Grove which is also very close...mostly because you can get a lot more/a lot nice for a lot less, for the distance of 5 miles and a ten minute drive.
I think before planning what to get...seeing how many for realzy reals will be able to make it and come out. Not to be a downer lol but Id guestimate for every 5 people who want to come, one will really be able to...not counting those of us who already live around here.
So if its 10 people or less, or 10 people or more..that will make a difference...Id say 10 people or less, a house would definitely be better. Dividing the cost, it will come out to much less than a hotel stay and much nicer. Once you get up there in bodies, the houses turn to villas and mansions and not logistically possible. At that point, Id say....figure out a hotel, and then get in touch with the hotel of choice to see about discount rates for group bookings... That way, if someone wants to share a room and split costs they can, if someone wants their privacy and willing to get their own room they can, not to forget large suites with 2 or 3 rooms as an option. Just one of those could serve as the gathering place.

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
huh. i've stayed at the hyatt and hilton embassy suites recently for conferences and i don't think either place requires you to be over 21...at least, there were folks under 21 there, but i'm not sure if they checked in by themselves. i don't know that much about hotels or stars or all that, though.
tg, depending on where we stay, they should give us a less expensive group rate. someone will have to coordinate with the hotel to arrange it. look for "meetings and events" or "social gatherings" or "group rates" pages on the hotel's website.

$100 a night?! Does it come with a butler that looks like Denzel? If not,then I'm not intrested }:D

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Oooh Tinydancer, Trust me some hotels require that you are 21 to book :(. I remember there was a time I was touring (escorting) and couldn't check in to the Hyatt because I was 19. I had to get a stranger to use his ID for MY room and I was MILES and MILES away from home. Sometimes a manager will override that decision but not always.
BlkSharpie, YOu make some damn good points! If 10 people could make it that would be awesome and we can for sure get a house to accommodate all of us. To go that route we would have to have due dates for the house. I too think the house would be a better feel but I do understand tinydancer's point about what if someone decides to back out at the last minute then again that's what deposits are for.
I want everyone to be comfortable though!
At the end of the day, the house would be wayyyy cheaper for everyone!

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
8 people have confirmed!!!! We will see! August 5th is a bit far away to tell for sure. I hope to see all of you there!
Emails will be going out within 2 weeks!
-
Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Am I one of the 8? LoL! Count me as confirmed...including accommodations. I could use a stay-cation :)
Oh Modelchick...$100/night is a really good price...to the point Id say, if theres a $100/n hotel on south beach and its at least 3 star Id grab it. South beach hotels tend to either be cheap and crappy or expensive and fabulous...not much inbetween. I wouldnt trust anything thats less than $150 on the beach...
Thats why I say go off the beach. Intercontinental that was mentioned...that is a nice hotel and in downtown, right by the bridge to SoBe even....reasonable at around $100/n.
And thats just the accommodations....theres still food and entertainment to think about...transportation is easy enough, rentals dont cost that much I dont think...I have a mini SUV that can seat 5..Im pretty sure Ill have it fixed up so its not doing that wierd shaky shaky thing is it right now by then LoL!!!
Just remember ladies..this is Miami! When it comes to the cost of things I dont want you all to freak out...Im used to how it is here, and what to me may not seem as costing all that much may seem like crazy talk to some of you...I just got to realizing that after what you said about a 100/n room ModelChick lol!

thats what living here has done lol i wish i could live in cheaper places now
by the way i think im the only one that cant drive, lol i make hubbx drove me everywhere, but ill put in for a rental

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Yeah Miami is expensive but not to the point that it bothers me too much. I'll pay $108 a day with no problem. Anything over $180 would be pushing it for me. I will check conference rates and see what they say .
BlkSharpie, You're in the 8! :-)
-
Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Sounds like so much fun. I however, will not be able to make it. Have some fun for me ladies.
-
Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Oh 180 and less is definitely doable....no worries about that. =D
Sooooo...what sort of things would you all like to do while here?
Theres of course the nite life...Im not a club-goer but I do have some sort of locals card thingie for Mansion and some other place I think, where all the visitors like to go anyway lol To be able to skip the line and go inside... I can already start finangeling around for some good bottle service deals, being a bunch of hot women, it shouldnt be too hard to find. That way we have seating and drinks and can go out in some semblance of style ;) Bottle service on the average is about 250/bottle, with a 2 bottle minimum...but like I said, I can see what sort of deals I can cut.
For daytime....my personal favorite thing to do is the spa =D Theres a gem of a place that wow's everyone that I take, cause its only $40 for a day pass...heated hamman, steam room, sauna, a beautiful garden, infinity pool, plus theres a cafe there to grab a bite. Super nice way to spend the day....
Other than that, Id say chime in on ideas of what you all would like to do while youre here and Ill put in my 2 cents if I can about how to make it happen.
Oh, I almost forgot the beach lol! I guess thats something some of you will want to do? I highly suggest not going to South beach to hit the sand....but I guess its part of the experience :P I know much nicer, less crowded beaches, but Im open to whatever you all want to do.
Also....cuban food is a must while you all are here.
I will spare dragging you all to Coral Castle.... I heart that place. LoL!

I really want to go jet skiing! I know it's a bit lame but I've never done it before.
I NEED to go clubbing! We would totally steal the show hahaha
Champagne is always nice! Just not too much!

Re: SW get-together? WHEN are we gonna have one??!?!
Me Me! Contessa is under 21. I think it'd be hilariously fun to get a house and make a web site, and try and do a group cam show thing. At least for the parties interested (which I would TOTALLY be). I vote for house, simply because it'd make it more of a chaotic adventure. Girls who didn't want to stay in the house could get a hotel-- it sounds like quite a few girls are interested.
