A question first - where exactly is the reunion again? So what city has the closest airport?
Okay, that said... how about everybody post their travel plans as comments to this post... then we can coordinate cars and such if needed. I know this is early, but I was just on southwest.com today and starting to look for flights...

reunion 09
well, i don't have any great ideas so far, but the first day of the reunion is father's day, so we have to do something to honor them, especially Mr. Wonderful. As for dinner ideas, what if we did a "world tour", creating meals from different countries or regions? Might expand our palates. I've been making some wonderful things from my new Mexico cookbook, and we had some wonderful food in South America.
How To Blog/Comment/etc.
Okay everyone, here's quick refresher of how to do this... definitions are in comments below:

2) Click that little symbol. It may or may not take you through some steps to make a BOOKMARK for this site. Click yes or okay or whatever.

2) Click "new post" if you want to write a post on a new topic that's not already being discussed. If you want to just visit the blog, click "view blog".
3) Type in a title. Type your post.
4) Label your post (under the box where you wrote your post) with things like "games" "family pics" "technical stuff" "crafts" etc.

3) Edit as needed.

I think that's it. It looks like Jill is checking out email notification - I'm not sure how that works. I just have the blog bookmarked and when I click on it in my browser, it lists the titles of the recent posts. If there's one I haven't read, I read it! Good luck!!
*Just had another idea - since most/all of us are on facebook, we could also use the Harvey Family group on there to share ideas, if that's easier or more convenient for people...
