just a bit of advice (from having a navy husband!)...if you leave and come back on week days instead of friday and monday, the airfare is usually cheaper.

Shari,

I hope you don't think that I was pushing Sun Valley. I would love to go to Florida, I checked airline prices from all are areas and Florida was the cheapest for every one.

I just offered Sun Valley as an option. Since the house will sleep alot of people there would be no need to get hotel rooms.

There are three master bedrooms with there own baths, 1 room with two twin beds, bunk room with four beds. those two rooms share a bath. 1 room with two beds, and game room with pull out , those two rooms share a bath, and office with pull out with its own bath. And we have four cots that can be set up. So there are enough beds to sleep 17 with there own beds. The house could sleep alot more if need be.

There are four airports that you can check out for prices.

Sun Valley about 10 minutes from house

Twin Falls about 1 hour

Boise about 2 1/2 hours real pretty drive

Salt lake city To far for my taste.

When I checked prices it was under 560.00 to fly right into Sun Valley and around 300.00 to fly into Boise. from Florida, Florida was one of the more expensive flights.

check out Sun Valleys web site. www.SunValley.com <http://www.SunValley.com> right now they have the winter pictures but it will give you an Idea of what it is like.

Where ever we decide to go I think a long weekend would be nice like Thurs. or Friday thru Monday.

I think that you still should check out prices for hotels and than we can have all the information ( the price of the hotel and flight may be the same as just the flight to Sun Valley. You never know.) and than we vote. Beaches or mountains. Its to bad the flights to Hawaii were so high, I wouldn't mine going back there, but because its so far away we would have to go for more than a long weekend. And with three teenagers there is no way I could leave them for that long.

Love Cricket

Both sound great to me.

hi everyone!

ok - after all of the posts I am guessing that I shouldn't bother with trying to arrange the Florida thing.. I am sorry and hope it didn't seem like I was pushing coming here on anyone - I was just trying to help and this is really the only place that I can help from. I also thought that it would be less expensive than Hawaii and with nice weather but i have lived here all of my life and sometimes forget that the heat and humidity get to others... I don't even notice it anymore but my hubby has family from up north and they always comment on it. Sun Valley sounds absolutely wonderful to me.... Would there be enough room for everyone? would I have to get a hotel room? I just need to see if I can come up with the funds now that I am not working. I will try to find a way as I really want to come to this reunion & meet all of my sisters! What is the nearest airport so I can check the rates? thanks for the help everyone.

ps - if anyone would like to come down to florida for the weekend, my home will be open - just let me know!

love

shari
