Hi everybody,
I pulled this out to be its own thread so it didn't get buried in the Virtual Moot thread. Tracy brought it up here and I (nearly simultaneously, but entirely independently) brought it up in our FB group.
So, what do we think?
Gabby has some other obligations during our usual Fall time range, so probably can't make it.
Mags, Tracy, Pam, and Sandra are interested.
Say what you think and when might be good for you.

Great minds think alike, eh?!!!
You know I'm in! Not sure where we'd go, but I would love to see whomever can get away.
Any time is good for me; just need to get on the books at work. I checked last week and the Fall is pretty open for coverage.
Not sure if people would want to 'meet in the middle' or pick a destination we've not been to before.

Maybe we can base location on who might possibly attend. I’m game for anywhere. I’m ready to travel. Sept/Oct work for me. Speaking of butterfly nets and belaying pins (as Sandra and I were on FB), Seattle will have prime Ron Francis spotting and premier season of the Seattle Kraken. :-) ’Course, might be too early for hockey season, depending on when we meet.
Hope everyone is doing well. It’s kinda nice to come out of our cocoons.
Take care,
Pam

Do you want to schedule a Zoom next weekend to discuss, or we can do it during the week depending on folks’ schedules? Would love to open up the pool of destinations and see what everyone thinks. And possibly where SW flies since you can bank travel funds if you need to cancel (just used my banked funds to book my twice-postponed Buffalo wedding trip for December). My thoughts are possibly DC, St. Louis, New Orleans, Seattle. But I would be happy to visit past moot locations as well! Jan -- what's the latest on travel in Canada? Are the borders still closed for incoming and outgoing?

Yeah, as I said on Facebook, let's be sure to not arrange anything that would be non-refundable. You never know what might happen. I don't mind saying publicly I am vaccinated and I'm feeling fairly good about things, with some caution.

I could Zoom any night this work week. I am away this weekend, but would available Sunday after 6PM Eastern,
and then again any night during the work week the next week.
I like Tracy's choices for locations. I've been everywhere but Seattle, but wouldn't mind revisiting any of the other locations.

Zoom is good for me. I've got things on Friday evening and Saturday evening, but am otherwise pretty open. I've been thinking a post-Labor Day beach break would be fabulous, but am not adamant about it. Of course, that's hurricane season on the east and gulf coasts. Maybe a day trip out to Delaware if we go to DC.

I am also fully vaccinated as well, and am glad that things are opening up.
I can chat any night this week but am heading to the beach this weekend to have some r&r at my niece's boss' condo (not sure of agenda so I can't commit). I'll be home Sunday afternoon and can chat that night. I am generally available any evening to chat next week (have family trivia 6/26 evening but available during the day). Would love to get a chat scheduled so we can talk about this!
I am so excited to be able to finally see you all!

Nights are fine but 6/26 will be hard for me in the afternoon. I have two JASNA Zoom things one right after the other. I should be available by 4 pm Eastern.

I can do a chat any evening next week starting Sunday, except Sat June 26 after 6:30 PM.
For what it's worth - Southwest is having a huge sale right now. I mean, flights from Orlando to DC for as low as $48 each way in September/October. Not saying DC is the place chosen; just saying they have some really good rates right now. And you can cancel or change flights, which I love.
So let's try and nail down a time to chat and at least get a destination picked out and then go from there?

Are the borders still closed for incoming and outgoing? Honestly, I’m not very clear about the state of cross-border travel. Every day seems to bring new news. Non-essential travel is not on for certain sure until at least the end of July but announcements are expected tomorrow (Monday). The percentage of fully vaccinated people is a factor and we’re not even close to the 75% that has been mentioned. My second shot is booked for Tuesday so I hope the recent shipments of Pfizer and Moderna have been enough. A vaccination certificate acceptable internationally is on the table. So, maybe the fall might be OK for me … or maybe not.

Sorry, forgot to say that most any day/time for a Zoom get-together would probably be fine for me.

Sadly I will not be able to join you all this Saturday. A family event will prevent me from doing so. :(
