Summer 2008 Crystal Digging Fun!

[Anamere]

You guys are so silly!

But that's what I love about ya!

Ok so I re-read my post from earlier and I'm so lame! I didn't add that I'm totally interested in doing a group Reiki thing too! I was also thinking if I sold some Cards of Destiny reports or somehting I could add that to the pot...AND!!! I just sold some Cards of Destiny readings so I've got some money to donate!!!

This is so exciting. See! We don't even have an account set up and the money is starting to roll in! Well I don't know about roll but it's the beginning of our rolling how 'bout that LOL!

Ok so...

A cabin sounds sooooo awesome! Depending on the area we are going I wondered if there is a local like Summer Camp type camp/cabin thing there. Like a state funded type thing? We have one here called Bradford Woods and during certain months and on weekends they rent out the cabins to like who ever. It's only like $25 per person per night and you just bring your own food. They provide the bedding and stuff.

It would be worth a phone call to one of these type places in the state we'd be in to see if they do this. They don't advertise it you just sort of have to know. Usually it helps bring in money during the winter months and on weekends when the kids aren't there. They'll set a minimum on the number of people to like 10 so they make some money and it works for everybody. We stayed in a historic mansion that was really awesome. Just so ya'll don't cringe at the thought of some horror movie type camping thing lOL

This is how I've done Womens retreats in the past at Bradford Woods here in Indiana. It's cheap, it's nice and it's all set up for several people.


Ok done with the ramble. Just throwing more idea's out

I realy like the mansion thing. That would be so awesome to all be together. If we can't get a cabin for all of us, how about somewhere like a lodge. Almost like a motel/hotel. Can you imagine the ruckus we could cause there.

Lighting candles and incense and pendulums and stones and all that. I'm sure they would remember us. Oh yea, all the energy going and coming, I wonder if they can handle it.

If this was mentioned before, please forgive me.

[Peace]

okies, i was looking at stuff last night about this and i found a couple places that sounded interesting. i tried to check only the ones that one can find several different stones instead of just one, so here's the links i found. a couple may be the same or close to what has already been mentioned, i'm not sure, so if they are, just disregard. lol. one of them my sister in law went to last year and came back with an obscene amount of quartz. lol.

crystal dig sites (i think the first link is the main page that has all these others and more on it, but i separated them anyway).

oh sweet faery,,, i am glad you are looking... i have thought about this myself, just been so busy with the holidays the rest of life went on pause

[Peace]

well, i really hope it works out for us all. remember, i got the hubby a gps tracker thingy just so we wouldn't get lost!! lmao!!! i'm so ready. lol. oh, i was thinking last night; ok, the hubby is on the same page with me about this vacation and can take off pretty much anytime this summer, (his schecdule is pretty easy for that), but i told him i would wait and see when we all can manage it at the same time. so, does anyone have any idea when would be best for you to plan it? that would be the first step, really, right? so we can all go ahead and take the time off (for those who work).i'll make him take off whenever ya'll agree.

The North Carolina one looks awesome! The prices are cheap and they rent tent sites! lmao Can you imagine all of us out there camping?!

[Anamere]

That's so cute GPS even!

Hey I wanted to post that this new airline "Skybus" has really cheap airfare. We don't have one in Indy but some of you may benefit. This was on the news the other day.

It's an airline that doesn't offer the foo foo stuff so it's not much different than riding a bus yanno? So they offer cheaper seats. If you want or need anything (like a drink) you have to buy it.

Anyway. If you catch a flight the moment they put it out the first 10 people get a $10 seat! Most flights are pretty cheap anyway (like $50 or so) but $10 is pretty cool!

The cities they offer to are limit. But...

I just went to their website and if I wanted to fly from Columbus OH to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow it would only be $120! I mean a next day flight.

I hopped over to Southwest and the same flight would be $270 for a next day flight.

So big difference!


OMG I just checked flights from Columbus OH to Greensbourough NC in the month of May (the furthest schedule out they had) ...

The most expensive one was $35!


Ok thought I'd share!

[Peace]

wow, that is really good!! thanks for telling us!

[yogagurl]

That is amazing! I hope they get flights nearer to me soon!

[♥Starlene]

Wow that IS cheap! We should start making some decisions on where we are planning on going and a time frame. I am thinking June is best for me because my kids get out of school in late May and go back in middle August, so late June is about right for me....

Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

[yogagurl]

Late June sounds good to me!

[Peace]

sounds good to me, too. i'm rather flexable. just have to let the hubby know so he can take off. hope ya'll don't mind kids. lol. well, they may not be there every second, but ya know what i mean. star, if you bring yours and linda hers and elaine hers, well, they are all around the same ages, so that may work out well, huh? lol.

[♥Starlene]

yea ill be bringing mine,,, cept my daughter will likely be hanging out with us,,, she will be 18 by then,,, but your boys will keep my son occupied hehehehe good thinking!!

[Anamere]

Oh heck no! I'm ditchin' the kids. Am looking forward to time with out them (I know terrible huh?) I may see if my aunt would like to come along. She's my age though.

[Sloan]

Oh I love this...I'm gonna have to check stuff out too. Especially when we decide where we're going. I've got at least 2 weeks or more I can take next summer, just tell me when!!

[Peace]

lol, hey, i can relate! lol. i think pixxie will enjoy digging. not sure about the boys, though. lol.they may just run a muck. lolol....

[Christine]

I would love to do the trip. I just have to see about my work situation and how I will get down there (I avoid flying unless there is NO other way to get somewhere). It would be so fun to see everyone and find new crystals!!

[saffy]

I have done the Skybus trip. When the girls and I went to see Star. It was between $60- and $80 per ticket, depending on how many see were left. It was a great flight and we didn't buy any food, but did get drinks and they were very reasonable. Also, I thought this was cool, they had a brochure of items you can buy. I assume the advertising is helping with the costs of the flight. I couldn't have bought things out of the book...very reasonable, like I said.

Yep, I'm up for the trip. I don't think I will need to bring Sara, but you never know. I'm sure she will have someone to play with....

Getting more and more excited.

[Peace]

oh, you really should!! i wanna meet her and pixxie does too! i think they'd have a great time.

[Sloan]

teehee...gonna be fun....and I have to admit something....I've never flown before...crazy I know but it's true...
