I propose that everyone consider what I've suggested and say when you think you'd like to come and when you'd like to leave (that way we can see when we'll have everyone together and how long we'll have company here). If you could log into blogger and enter your plans right below mine instead of commenting, that would make it easier to consider. If you can't, just make a comment and I'll add it to the post.
Mom & Dad:
Ralph: Our life is completely on hold right now. If we are still training we might be able to take a short trip. If we have a store all bets are off and we won't have any time off for a long time. So whatever the plan is we won't be able to commit until we are extremely close. Sorry we can't be more certain, but that is our life right now.
Mandy: Haven't checked Mike's schedule yet, but I have to be here for girls camp 6/26-6/29... so we'd be there after that. Could possibly come on the 30 at the earliest. I guess that messes every thing up, sorry!
Jess: It appears to be slightly more expensive to fly into Seattle (looking today). If I had to buy tickets right now I would save $350 by going to Denver instead of Seattle. But to fly into Colorado Springs it would be about the same as Seattle. Either place we are looking at $1500-2000 in plane tickets. We would be interested in borrowing a car either place we went (we could rent one, but that would really add to the trip expense). Also, having a place to stay is much more appealing knowing that flying out is going to cost an arm and a leg! Otherwise we are excited at the thought of getting together and will go whenever everyone else is!
Mike: We'll be here the whole time. If people are here for much more than a week, I'll probably go into work for part-days beyond the week--but we'll see.
Andy: If we all come to Washington, Ralph, Laura, Rebecca, Steven, and Sarah will have a better chance of spending at least some time with everyone whatever is going on with their new store. Laura and I have been discussing a trip to Argentina, and we're not sure we'll be willing to spend the money to go anywhere else this year. Of course we might try Space A travel... In conclusion: Come here and visit us!

Can't figure out how to post. Our life is completely on hold right now. If we are still training we might be able to take a short trip.

i have comments...
I know this same thing goes for others, but for our family, it would be 2 days of travel for CO and 4 days for WA. That means less time together in WA but more in CO. I realize the WA people could say the same the other way for them.
Andy: What can you offer us? Places to stay, things to do?
Mike: What can you offer us? You said we could all be housed in your home or a neighbors, right? Tell us some things we could do there.
Jess you are traveling either way, too. Will there be differences for you?
Also, the sooner we decide the better for those having to take leave off work.
I will skip some of girls camp and try to get there earlier to see more of you people.
Ralph, we would be sad to not see you and Laura, but would there be any way to send your kids? If Andy were to come to CO, could your kids travel out with him, assuming he was ok with that. Yeah, I know this is not my business, but I am a nosy sister! If we put it off another year, would you be able to say you could travel by then, or is it too soon to know?
And Andy, are saying a flat no, that you wont be able to come unless it's in WA? Just trying to get all the facts.
Mom and Dad, I imagine you will join us anywhere? Anytime??
Talk to me... let's figure this out. I want to see you!!
We would like it if everyone could come,of course, and barring unforseen circumstances beyond our control, we will plan to participate whenever and wherever. Sorry this is so late. Dad's fault.
