Eastern Caravan for WCC, NE and SE meet in Vegas? Options

[Series9]

How about it? Who's coming through Albuquerque and when? I'd like to head out on Thursday, but am open to suggestions.

Who's coming from the NE? Wanna meet in Vegas to combine forces for the assault on So Cal? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

Rich ? Any word from the boss on what your plans are going to be? When will you land in Vegas? When do you want to leave for California (Thurs or Fri)? Which hotel do you plan to stay at?

I've been unusually quite about my travel plans. I've been trying work around several problems that arose in the past several months. My job is consuming my life, I have a new manager, we had several unexpected bills arrive, etc. The final issue ended my travel plans.
Everyone is healthy and there are no personal issues to worry about, just stuff happening with the kids and their friends. My oldest son's girl friend just turned 18. she is still in high school, graduating this year and signed up for collage with my son. She's a good kid with no issues. She is a ward of the state. The home she was living in for the last 3-4- years gave her the boot on her birthday.
She had no place to go. Sandy and I had many moral discussions about her moving in with us. We didn't want the kids to be forced into more of a relationship than they are ready for.
After watching this sick and demented thing unfold over the last 3 weeks I finally had to step in. Here's a kid that should be concentrating on finishing school and getting ready for a graduation and she out trying to sign up for welfare, and get on a low income list for a slum apartment! WTF is wrong with a family that will do that to a child! I'm sick and heart broken for her. We are now moving her into our home.
We spent last evening shopping for bedroom furniture, buying pink paint, and moving my sons computer stuff out of the spare room. As much as I love and trust my kids they are still kids. So were going to have a period of adjustment and I just can't walk away from that now. I want them to understand they need to have personal time and just because they are in the same house they are not stuck together. I hope they are able to put this behind them and move tword their lifes goals.

This club is made up of real people as is our family. Growing up I never had a real family. So I know you will all understand When I put the family I have now first. When things settle in here Sandy and I will hop in the Alien and fly out to see you all!

Thanks for letting me vent.
