Yeah Jan!!! We're about 4 1/2 months-ish out so I think dates should be decided by mid-May. That way people can start making travel plans. We can hopefully get the balling really rolling soon.

Ok seeing as the majority of votes are going to Tybee Island to stay at, and as Hilton Head would probably be out because of distance from Savannah (30 minute drive), here are the current choices narrowed down to date:
Tybee Island 1 <--- $539 a night. 8 bed/4 bath Tybee Island 2 <--- $539 a night. 7 bed/6 bath Tybee Island 3 <--- $700 a night. 8 bed/5 bath Tybee Island 4 <--- $489 a night. 7 bed/4 bath Tybee Island 5 <--- $506 a night. 8 bed/5 bath Tybee Island 6 <--- $752 a night. 9 bed/6 bath
Keep in mind that these sleep at least 14 (with couples sharing one bed; each singleton having their own bed - no top bunks) so the prices are good (there is an extra fee for cleaning + taxes so the nightly fee is just that). If we go above and beyond 14 folks, that can be figured out. If anything, if we have people that cannot commit until just before the moot, they can claim a top bunk. Also, there are plenty of smaller rentals that they could book if that is the option they would want to choose. We would at least have a common area at the large house that everyone can gather at.
Tybee Island number one is the house 7-A with the info on the above post.

Do we actually have the commitment of 12 persons? I can't commit yet since I don't know if I can make it.
I know I am a bit out of the loop since I don't frequent Facebook, but based on the posts here it doesn't look to me like we have a finalized headcount.

Before we start sending money and it gets a little confusing -- I think we need to determine/confirm a few things:
This amount per person is assuming everyone is staying Wednesday night to Monday morning, correct?
The check in is around 3:00 or 4:00 and check out time is around 10:00 A.M. Is anyone planning on staying before or after? Is everyone departing on Monday?
Make sure this is the property we want to reserve.
Get a head count and make sure that the bed situation works.
I can look at some of this when I get home tonight. Gotta get stuff out for the boss!

I will come, the house is fine, I'll arrive Wed. afternoon and leave Mon. morning.
Or, once the head count is finalized, we can separate by night and how many people are staying each night (so if someone is just coming for three days, they pay their share for three days based on how many people are at the house that day).

I will be there Sept 12-17, Wed-Mon. Will be driving, so will have vehicle for carting around (only 3 other people besides me).
Can't wait!
Take care, Pam

I think once we decide on the week and property, I can collect the deposit from everyone. If people find out they can go after the deposit is made, then there will be adjustments to the final payment for those that have already paid (lower final payment) and those that could not commit before the deposit was made (higher second and sole payment). Does that make sense? You can Paypal from checking/savings accounts or credit cards, whichever is most convenient for you. Are we narrowed down to the 12th through 17th? It seems that is the week that the majority can make it. So far, I think the definites are: Tracy K. Jamie Mags Pam Sandra Phizz Kim Brian Estelle Jan Maybes (that I think have not confirmed yes): Suanne Susanna Dave Gaby Michael Tracy C. Lou Lou Minsky JoAnne Is everyone driving? Flying? Taking the train? So far Pam and I will have cars. I assume Suanne will drive as well. I can also do airport pick ups.

I talked to Susana last week and I let her know that it looks like Sept. 12-17. We are still trying to coordinate family vacations, work trips and figure out if we can make it.

I'll have to check with work on the dates first. Starting the new job on May 14. Gave my boss the heads up I would need a few days. He said once I arrived we could look at the vacation schedule. I may have to head back Sunday though. Not sure if I'll get the Monday off. I'll see what I can do.

I put in for my vacation today, to make sure I have the time. Coming down Wednesday, September 12 and go back to work on Wednesday, September 19.
Are we we going to do a pay pal thingee or should I send check or money card to you, Tracy?

I think Paypal would be best and easiest, but we'll cross that road soon hopefully. That way if people decide they want to put on a credit card, it's an easy way to do it.
I currently have off September 12-17 but will definitely be taking more time afterwards.
Where are you all flying into - Savannah?
