I guess it needs to be fluid, but with an earlier setting of open house dates it would help in getting cheaper airfare.  I am about 5 1/2 hours away so I have always driven. I'll check flights, but always end up driving. Flying too much of a hassle for the small savings of time for me.

Good points on airfare and holiday travel.  Please share with the decision makers…seems the ideal time would be a week or two after Thanksgiving when there is a lull in traffic and personal schedules.  Also, just pick a day months in advance, so the “everyday type of people” can make arrangements to be away from home.

Safe travels to all making the trip…and don’t forget to take some personalized pictures to share with the rest of us.

We have aborted our mission.  We will see everyone in June... but, not in Jamaica 🙂

Probably the wise choice given the weather.   Yeah, Jamaica is a hard pass too.  AMac’s planning regimen is something that I am unaccustomed, but I hope that his family gets away for some sunshine and warm weather.  Cleveland in the winter is not fun.

Just a tough date to work with unless you're within a comfortable drive.  Never say never but don't see Jamaica happening for us.  Now a road trip to Florida in April is doable!

That would be cool.  35 years ago my then girlfriend, now wife, went to Florida in April.  We visited some training tracks where some 2 year olds that we had some past connections were training.  My wife got to go on a double person jog cart with a filly that she prepped for the previous fall sale.  It didn’t hurt that she (my wife) was a cute blonde.  Thankfully, I took pictures.  Helped keep those fires burning and I jumped back in last April with TheStable.

Dang, in office today, so did not check email until I got home (nor check this site). Was planning to leave Sat morning. Was not up to driving all night tonight nor starting out at 3 am, so I'll miss the open house.

Thought maybe keep plans to  just watch races Sat and Sun night, and head to the Meadows Monday. As of now with the heavy rain and high winds forecasted. I'll just stay home. 

No Jamacia for me, no desire to go there (nor a passport). Need to get the passport for possible Breeder's Crown trip.
