Moab May 2012...Red Rock Lodge.....

[JoFotoz]

Just spoke with Devon at Red Rock Lodge..Moab.

1-877-253-5431

Was checking/proofing info for calendar...AND..he confirms...

....that pre booking for Moab in May will get you a 15% DISCOUNT.


So...the 15% is a good reason to call now...

..and securing a room on the stoop..or FAR FROM IT .. :eek:..

...is a great reason to call too!

I believe the VX run is on the 15th May...
...with group runs throughout the rest of the week.

Many arrive Sun/Mon 13th-14th

I am booked 12th-20th May.

Hibernation...yeah, THAT'S the ticket...that's why I always look so tired...:rolleyes:

[nfpgasmask]

Is there a block of rooms or a "side" of the hotel we should ask for to be closest to the stoop?

Get as close as you can to the end/side where Rm 112 (casa de Dub/Pat&Jim) is located...:_beer:.:yesgray:

hmmmm... tempting. lol. but if we ever want to talk to either of our mothers again -- might not be the best idea...

Maybe next year we could have a erm... double anniversary?

[JoFotoz]

OMG..this could be epic...

Bart and his wife celebrate 11 years
A Stoop wedding..(bring the mother in laws :thumbup: )
Though for me to preside, we need to be in international waters..
...heck, the Hot Tub Counts if Dub blesses it!!
CeCe and Gill....make it a double!
Lisa and Greg...thats a three'fer right there!!!
And apperently, despite lobbying Congress....I have another

I can certainly take that into account!
You bring it...I'll officiate it!!

After all..france is...well..france...and WAY over there!
(yes..no capitalization for france...it's intentional..OK?)

Gill...step up!:clap:

[VX KAT]

Wow Jo, that was apparently one of my creative moments! Hadn't seen that in a long time. :thumbup:

Wow PK, you're quite the optimist...2013......:laugho: Well I for one am hopin' the world don't end in 2012 cuz I'd like to meet ya one day buddy! :thumbup:


Bart-
To give you some idea.....this motel is just two straight rows of rooms facing each other with a parking lot in between.
Rooms 101-112 are on one side, and are a little older. Higher numbers are "closer" to the stoop.
Rooms 114 - 125 are on the other side, are a little more "modern" and a little larger. So no room is far at all.


The "stoop"...in front of rms 110, 111, 112.

Looking from the "stoop" toward the lower numbered rms from 109 -101.

jo

I dunno guys...:_thinking

To be truly international, I think that Russian Vodka, Mexican Tequila, Scandinavian Akavit, Greek Ouzo, & so on, should be included.

As a side benefit, it'd prolly be the best disinfection that tub has ever seen...:smilewink

[VX crazy]

Stay across the parking lot, its what I prefer, the loudmouths will keep you up all night !!!!! ROFL

[MeowMix]

I was wondering when the Moab planning threads would start popping up, lol...I have to put my Red Rock room booking plans on hold for now though. Turns out I got an interview with WSU College of Nursing afterall (YES!), so until I hear back yay or nay on my spring term acceptance, 2012 is all up in the air for me. I'm torn between the equal amounts of both joy and sadness that either option will elicit. If I get accepted, well, I get accepted! However, I have to skip Moab -- if I'm denied, I feel like a failure all over again, but Moab is on for meow! :sady: / ;Dy;

...and if I do go, I'm definitely getting my own room this year. Sleeping on an air mattress on Mark's floor was effective and all, but I'm thinking an actual bed might be nice this time around. ;py;

Jeez.....complain, complain....:biggringr At least you had the floor and weren't sleeping in the tub, or sleeping in Kiiro in the parking lot. I would have offered to switch with you, but you know us old folks.... could have thrown my back out sleeping on the floor.:laughing:

[JoFotoz]

Guess what Lisa...

....we prefer you over there as well!!!

Too much of this :smack:..

...going on :eek:

Luv ya :p

Moab is more than likely a no go for me. IF I qualify for Kona next week its a definate no...will have to save every $$$ I can for that adventure. If I don't qualify it is a maybe...I will be racing in Vegas that weekend and may be able to swing over after. And if I do I'm camping as always anyways...it's just part of the experience for me!:D
You all will have to find someone else to entertain you with "tales from the end of a tow strap"!:)

[VX crazy]

You could hear that all the way over there?????? Ball gag should help next year!

What are you talking about with this old business? You're a regular spring chicken my friend, lol :laughy: And as for the floor...like I said, it was effective. I was drunk by bedtime half the time, so I didn't really know the difference anyway. ;Dy;

[VXorado]

Thats what I get for missing Moab last year :mady:

Billy, I would think if you qualify for Kona, the VX hat would be passed around to help out.

Yep, I am the optimist.

I am optimistic that -

The world won't end before then.
I will still be fit and healthy and living above ground then.
The major project I am leading at the moment, will be completed. (Due Dec 2012).
I will retire in March 2013.
I will have enough financial resources to splurge about US$4,000 on a trip to the US of A. (By then, that will be about $200 Aussie.)


I have a deal with the better half - she is going to India for 2 weeks in this coming Dec/Jan with the Girl Guides (yeah, I am a cradle snatcher).
And I can go wheeling with my VX brothers and sisters in Moab in May 2013.

So, keeping everything crossed, that is what will happen.

PK

[Triathlete]

PK...I can highly recommend retirement! :D
Life is good!

[VX KAT]

PK- Sounds like a great plan! :thumbup:

[JoFotoz]

PLEASE PK...

..bring Cheese Twisties!!

I am very excited for this trip and can't wait to meet everyone :bwgy:

[Kenny]

Just tried to book. Red Rock is Full.:(
So is Inca Inn.

I'm in Adventure Inn - Room 7. From Sunday to Saturday.
($83/nite)

Serves me right for procrastinating.
:happyface

[pbkid]

Jack BOOK SOMETHING.... you can make reservations and cancel WITHOUT any fee or penalty, even like up to 24 hrs before arrival....at MOST motels/hotels. SOME want a first night's deposit or charge for the first night, but it's refundable too.

[Dumke]

Thats what I get for missing Moab last year :mady:


x 2.



:(

[BigSwede]

The Silver Sage is one of the cheaper places...it kind of looks like a bunch of mobile homes tied together, but it is actually pretty decent, a little nicer than the Red Rock I would say.

[Moncha]

I've finally got my approval for the time off as well. We will be coming in on Monday the 14th and be leaving on Thursday the 17th. It'll be a short trip but, we'll pack as much as we can into it!

We couldn't get a room at the 'Rock but we will be just around the corner at the Red Canyon Lodge

[BigSwede]

Well I was referring to the amenities of the rooms themselves...nothing can beat "the stoop" though.
