While it may be a bit early--I would like to suggest either the first weekend in August(August 5-7) or the second weekend in August(August 12-14).

Establishing a date early on gives everyone the opportunity (if they wish) to incorporate other plans into the trip and it also gives CCK and Bucko better than a year to find a place to hide.

Sounds like a plan is emerging. WW


- dananne - 06-19-2004

Either weekend works for Anne and me.


- Kcwhippet - 06-19-2004

We're good either one.


- Georgie - 06-19-2004

OK by me, too!


- hotwine - 06-19-2004

Same here.


- Bucko - 06-20-2004

I'm already camouflaged....


- Kcwhippet - 06-20-2004

As what, Doc?


- Thomas - 06-21-2004

Well, that far out looks good from this distance--but I can't fully commit until later in the year.


- Innkeeper - 06-21-2004

Both dates look fine.


- wondersofwine - 06-21-2004

Either one works for me. I think I'll include several days before or after (most likely before) in the Portland area and visit some Willamette Valley wineries.


- Bucko - 06-21-2004

Anyone wanting to come out early and wander the Seattle to Olympia corridor is welcome to use our home as a base of operation. We have two dedicated guest rooms downstairs.


- Georgie - 06-21-2004

That's very generous of you, Bucko. Hopefully I'll be able to come out early or stay later to mooch off my west coast relatives!


- newsguy - 06-21-2004

i plan on going regardless, but i will make a pitch for the first weekend, aug. 5-7, only for the selfish reason that saturday aug. 6 will be my birthday. can you say PARTY? [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

bucko: that is very kind of you to offer. in fact, i had planned on spending a few days over that way on this trip since my wife and i, remarkably, have never been to seattle. certainly will be looking for suggestions, and maybe a room for the night. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

First weekend is fine-- and we may as well lock it in now.
Will go ahead and put it on the books for now.

(Since I work/live in the valley I won't have too many places to hide anyway.)

- Thomas - 06-22-2004

Bucko, generous offer.

With all of us coming, how many people can fit in those two guest rooms of yours???


- newsguy - 06-22-2004

happy birthday to me!


- Georgie - 06-22-2004

Ok! Aug. 5-7, 2005 is down in the datebook! YES!


- glenora - 06-22-2004

Hard to believe--- a decision made by this group in 3-4 days!! A great thing.

CCK--if you need any help in planning I would be glad to assist. If the group that comes to the west coast is as friendly as the group that was here last month we are all in for a great time!! (and we will not have to listen WW's comments about "blush" reds--he just never caught on to cool climate viticulture)


- Bucko - 06-22-2004

I have two guest rooms, four queen size blow up beds and one blow up doll for WW..... [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
