Who's coming? Let's get a count here.

Bruce Donze has been doing some recon at the new local dealer, Extreme Marine, and it looks like he will have plenty of Donzis to inspect. Cool.

Again, I suggest a hotel in the Arlington area
for easy access to anything else you might want to do in DFW. Lots of choices for dinner on Saturday night also.

Lenny, or any other nut, fly into Dallas and we'll pick you up! The chat room will survive.

Great weekend coming up!

Bruce, Todd - we'd like to join up, at least to meet some new faces, have a dinner, go to the show - we'll drive up from Houston area Sat 2/8 morning and Depart Sunday morning. Any place you are meeting? We could tag up sometime after lunch, or at the show and then head to a dinner. We're now shopping for our 16 or 18 and need all the help we can get!

Thanks!!
Keith & Ruth Ann

PS Suggestions on hotels in the area? I know you said Arlington, but specifics?

Keith,

If you are driving up Saturday morning, you would probably want to meet us at the show in Dallas. Market Hall on I-35 just north of downtown Dallas, Oak Lawn exit.

As for accomondations in Arlington, there is every flavor of hotel there. Try to get something near the 360/30/six Flags area, so we can hook up easily Saturday evening for dinner.

Great place in Arlington for dinner would be Humperdinks. Tallest bar in Arlington, great micro-brew, sports on TV, and a wide variety of food. Easy to find too, on Six Flags Drive next to the park.

See everybody there...
