Hiya again! Got a little more info!

32nd Annual Conference On EXPLOSIVES and BLASTING TECHNIQUE
Jan 29 - Feb 1, 2006
Dallas, Texas USA

With Special ISEE (International Society of Explosives Engineers) Presentation on Safety & Security

ISEE info

So...we'll probably only be going for the "blaster's" weekend...Friday 27th, Saturday 28th, Sunday 29th...and either leave on Sunday or stay till early Monday morning.

As far as I can tell (and it's early in the game) we'll be staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort (wherever the hell that is?) and, from the photos I have of it, it's pretty damn posh!

Mr. Lixy's big boss always picks the best of the best so he can show off. He's a major sponsor of this event every year, and this year they have billed him as a "Gold Level" sponsor. I'm hoping that's because I am coming along...lmfao!...but it's more accurate to think it's because he's been in the biz for many moons!

Anyway...this is what I know now. When I get more info I will be back to request local sites to visit while they are in the boring blast meetings!

XXOO

pssst... Lixy ... Gaylord Texan was on my recommended list of sites to see... you've got it covered now! Grapevine Mills, which was also recommended is in the immediate vacinity as well.

Now I'll be thinking of places to eat ... and sites to see... I know precisely where you will be

Oh...WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I really need more time to reread the shit I posted and got replies to maddy! So sorry!

Soon as I know more of our schedule I'll get back here and give and get more info!

Please Stand By!

Hey Ya'll!!!!

The time has come...

We will be leaving from Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, January 27th. We are flying US Airways/Express Mid-Atlantic Airways, flight 1693 at 11:20am. We'll be flying non-stop to Dallas/Ft.Worth...arriving approx. 2:15pm.

We'll be returning on Tuesday, January 31rst on US Airways, flight 840 at 10:40am from Dallas to Philadelphia...arriving approx. 2:47pm.

Wasn't thinking much about Osama Bin Laden till Mr. Lixy asked me if I was a little bit afraid to fly now since Bin Laden's latest threat. My response was "NO"...because he and I are flying together. If he was taking this trip alone I would be shitting me feckin trouser's over it! But since we'll be together, we'll die together if something should happen. I know it's a really remote possibility, but one can't help thinking of it at some point during a trip these days! And that we will be attending an International Blasting Convention...well, that strikes up some really odd thoughts too. I ain't dwelling on it though...I'll tell you that!

Anyway...so we are off to Dallas tomorrow...YAY! Boss's wife and I will be taking a spa treatment one day while the boys meet with other blaster's. There are soooooooo many to choose from but I think I've settled on the reflexology treatment. It sounds so soothing and therapeutic! The hot rock massage sounds good too. Oh...decisions, decisions!

We are staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort

Check out the services and amenities ^^^

Can't wait to tell you all about it! Wish us luck and safety! See ya when we return!

(((((EVERYONE)))))

Love Ya!

Take some water with you... Texans will appreciate it

Have a great time... and if you get a chance to dine outside of Grapevine try some of the following:

Three Forks (North Dallas Tollway) - bestest steak in DFW!
El Fenix (North Dallas Tollway) - excellent and reasonably priced Tex-Mex
MiCoccina (McArthur Blvd, Irving - near Target) - less greasy and slightly more expensive Tex-Mex. Also has a location at the Galleria Mall (North Dallas Tollway)
Red River (I-35E and Northwest Highway) - a true Texan Cowboy bar... an absolute MUST SEE!

Have a wonderful time- the Gaylord is tremendous and beautiful, but be sure to take in some other sights and sounds of DFW too.

For those of you interested...


Lixy's flight departed 24 minutes late and just landed safely!!!!!!!!!!

How the hell did they take off 24 minutes late and land 26 minutes early?


Oh well...they're safe and that's all that matters! Yaaaaaaaaay!
