If it isn't bourbon and horse races (well, after this year's race bourbon) I wouldn't trust anyone from Western KY. Just saying.
The one most stayed at last year and would be the best best is Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, St. Charles, MO 1190 N Main St, St Charles, MO 63301•(636) 724-5555 HERE IS THE WEBSITE They are literally next door to Hendrick's BBQ where we'll have Saturday evening BBQ. A few miles from the breakfast buffet at Golden Corral. The Ameristar Casino/Hotel is also close, about a mile from the restaurant if that's more to your tastes. It's also more expensive but, that's to be expected at a casino. HERE IS THE WEBSITE Rooms should be available in both locations. I've reached out to the Country Inn as last year and have gotten the same more or less silent response on trying to block any rooms off. I just can't give them enough of a guarantee on number, so I recommend booking early to make sure you get in. Same for Ameristar. I believe Keith has already booked there as the hours there suit his jet lag better. @mrchick and @Drygulch spent the afternoon last year wandering up and down Main Street in the antique stores and hauled off some nice straight razors. There are plenty to wander through. Also some nice restaurants for lunch. Depending on size of group and preferences we can do some sightseeing during the afternoon or just do your own thing as individuals or with others you choose. HERE IS THE CURRENT ROSTER THAT I CAN CONFIRM WILL BE HERE Charlie and Kathy @wristwatchb Keith @Keithmax Randy @BaylorGator Me @NCoxSTL Adam @Drygulch Paul @Paul76 (If we kill his boss or it just works out....we're hopeful) If anyone else is certain they are coming at this point PLEASE LET ME KNOW HERE AND BY PM! I know several have expressed interest and were looking into plans but I don't want to put a name up until it's confirmed. Thanks!! Oh - for those flying in - if you need ground transportation let me know as well. I can probably find a guy with a nice Mazda or van to pick you up. He drives like a madman but hasn't killed anyone yet.
I will be in San Diego that weekend attending my grandson’s second birthday party. I’ll miss you guys. Have fun!
More razors for the rest this year! I guess a grandson's second birthday party trumps this group. Totally understandable!
@BaylorGator transports his limo in the cargo hold of his plane, Neal. He should be covered on ground transportation. He told you about his Advance Team coming the week prior to check things out, right? He gets a little testy if the hotel staff forgets to turn down his sheets and leave chocolates on the pillow.
Sorry to hear that, Brian, but you have something much better planned. Maybe we can convince the Czar to do a group Skype? We can all sing happy birthday to your grandson!
We are prepared. The Cartel has actually booked an entire "hotel" for him and his entourage. It's in a "historic" area of North City St. Louis and features an enclosed courtyard around a "pool" (could be a swamp, we're not sure) and...as an added benefit....the walls around the courtyard have been proven to stop nearly 30% of the bullets fired in the neighborhood each night. Don't tell me we don't know how to treat visiting dignitaries and rebellion leaders.
Brian, sorry we will miss you but enjoy the birthday party. You will be with us I’m spirit. I’m staying at the casino, given my jet lag I can wonder around the casino at 4 am.
I'm giving serious thought to a road trip to meet up with you fine folks. I wish I could make a firm commitment but I never know what my work schedule will be. If I'm not stuck at work that weekend I'll see you guys at dinner. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Roster Update!!! Charlie and Kathy @wristwatchb Keith @Keithmax Randy @BaylorGator Me @NCoxSTL Paul @Paul76 Adam @Drygulch
This is going to be my only trip for just relaxing this year. I’m looking forward to it. Can’t wait to meet everyone!
