April 11....we are 19 days away from leaving on our annual "ladies only" get-together.  This year, we have selected our destination to be Orange Beach, Alabama.  We'll be staying in the Phoenix West condos right on the beach. 
 
The ladies who have commited to go are:  me (Anita Booles Binns), Sue Wilkinson Judkins, Helen Herrod Washburn, Wanda Clark Doyle, Sharon Doss Burnett, Charlotte Runyan Holliman, Norma Sue Johnson Switzer and Judy Bolin Ray.  Plans are for we "northerners" to meet at Sharon's house in Little Rock on April 30.  Wanda will drive down from Ft. Smith and be there.  Sue will drive down from Mt. Home to Anita's house in Quitman and we will drive to Sharon's.  Since it's about a 10 hour trip for us, we elected to leave Sharon's around noon on Tuesday, April 30, and drive to Jackson, MS and spend the night there.  Then we'll drive on down to OB the next day.   The "southerners" , Norma, Judy and Charlotte are driving from Crossett....not sure what day they will be leaving.  Helen, from Crossville, TN has a private driver and will meet us there .....Dick is bringing their motorhome down to Florida for a visit with his son and will bring Helen by the condo....
 
Regardless, we'll all end up in a beautiful 4 BR/5 BA highrise condo overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.  Thanks to Wanda for handling all of the reservations/research, etc.  Check out this unit 1501....that's us...Phoenix West
 
We'll try to find time (lol) to keep you all updated on this blog to our adventures/ventures while we are away.  Wish some of you that wanted to come but couldn't, could.  Did you get that? 

Until then, .....
