TBRU - YAY!

[jpinsd]

Friday, I was talking to rugbybearpa about TBRU. He wanted to know if I was going, and I said that I was not. I just didn't 'get' what it was all about. I've talked to a bunch of people about TBRU, and they've all told me basically the same thing. But this time.. it suddenly hit me.

OMG! this could be.. like.. a vacation!

See... I've never taken a vacation. In my 41 years, the only vacations i've ever had were family events. I've never been able to just do my own thing, never been able to just kick it and relax.

Saturday, a bunch of us were getting our geek on playing WoW and we started talking about TBRU. It all started to sound really cool! TBRU. Men! Parties! Men! Chillin' and relaxin'! Men! Meeting new people! and lots of hot, hairy, beefy MEN!

I'm totally sold. I wanna go. But of course I have a ton of questions. :-)

• Weather - what's it usually like there in March?
• Transportation - Suggestions on plane tickets? Are people going to try to go together in groups?
• Hotels - I see that rooms aren't too expensive. Do people usually share rooms?
• Food - yeah yeah. BBQs are fun and stuff. And I know most of you bears are all about meat. But I'm a veggie. Are there any veggie options usually? or other places I can get non-meat food? ;-)
• Other expenses - What other kinds of expenses should I expect?

I know, most of these questions are probably second nature to you all. But like I said, I've only ever traveled with family. And that means that most all of those details were taken care of for me. heh. Even tho I've traveled throughout Europe and the US... I've never done it on my own. I'm a travel n00b.

JP,

You have to go so you can report back as a TBRU first timer! Several LJ guys hit me up about going, but Texas seems like a long way for a bear run. I can drive to San Francisco in less than two hours for IBR. Perhaps your feedback could convince me otherwise for next year...

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Thanks for the friend add. :)

Warm regards,

Cory

I would have added ya as a friend earlier if I had known you were on LJ! :-)

Looking forward to your posts, buddy!

I've been on Lj for about 15 months. I love the fellowship with the great men in this community! Glad you're on here, too! :)
