"GONNA PUT THE WORLD AWAY FOR A MINUTE"....

GIRL'S TRIP 2011





AND THE WINNER IS................
DESTIN, FLORIDA
EMERALD GRANDE RESORT

Our destination has been determined and the paper work has been signed, sealed and delivered.  Now it's up to you to commit.  The Emerald Grande (Frank) has been a pleasure to work with and our group rates look great.  Understand this is very free style trip with no planned activities other than what we feel like doing that very minute.  I will actually be going in August to check the place out and to get a few ideas.  As stated below the dates are November 3-6th, however I will be going for a week which will start on November 2nd-November 8th.  It's just to good of a deal not to take advantage of an entire week.  Point being if any of you are looking to stay longer I will be around to hang out.  I'm guessing some of you may be concerned with the cooler temperatures in November but I am here to tell you this is my very favorite time of the year to head to the beach.  If for some reason it happens to be a little cool "so be it".  There is plenty of fun things to do.  Chances  are that it will be the perfect temps.

Listed below are the rates and information.  These units sleep quite a few so you can pack your besties in or pay a little extra for minimal people.  I am renting a 4 bedroom 4 bath and plan to keep my unit at 4 or 5 people just because that's the way I like it.  So take a look at the details, get your group together and make that call.  You will have to put a credit card deposit down.  Make sure to inquire about the cancellation policy and date deadlines.
The next blogs will be all fun-filled with ideas of things we can do, food we can eat and trouble we can get in.
Really hope there will be a great turn out.  Seriously when you get a few minutes go to the web site and take some time to see all the opportunities at the resort alone.
