All this on a Friday afternoon, traffic would be horrendous getting back to the hotel and just wear everyone out.

    On top of that I don't want to disturb anything Paul is working on.

    Hey justbob, we still have a little time left to sort thru for alternative things to do on Friday afternoon....when I spoke to the train museum people a long time ago, I was told just what has been said here....no admission that day, no trains running, but the grounds would be open....they didn't say that all the buildings would be closed....we should clarify exactly what they mean....any RR buffs would still enjoy themselves....I've participated in many of their past car shows when everything was up and running.....and I agree traffic from there back to Hampton Inn would be a bit %=;$#!$*^!.....BUT, if some of the group wants to go.....GO....

    Friday Volo

    HOLY BATMAN!!!!! We arrive at Volo about 10am and leave to "head back" about 4 or 5pm?????????????? Are we having a sleepover? That's way too much time.....justbob feels 2 hour is sufficient.....that's a quick pace for someone who has never been there, or is old like me.....their event co-ordinator said 3 to 4 hours is more realistic......lets say we depart Volo at about 1:30/2 o'clock....Lynfred Winery for casual wine tasting is in Roselle and is about half way back towards Hampton Inn....would probably take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to satisfy our palettes with 7 wines for $9....depart for the Hampton Inn to freshen up, if so desired and "hop,skip and a burnout" to White Fence Farm for dinner, (nice family restaurant) which is approx. 15 minutes away from the Hampton Inn.....arrangements were made with both locations months ago, I just need headcounts to call them ahead of time on that day....You'll place dinner orders from their menu.....do one, do two, do neither, you are your own boss....you should arrive back at the Hampton Inn with plenty of free time to spare and enjoy your adult beverages, hug fests and stories......................

    Paul was just throwing stuff out their (like you) to see if there was any interest in these events.

    I really don't care for the phrase "we were not pushing a Friday night plan"...."just throwing stuff out there to see if there is any interest"....I think it's a viable plan for a casual wine tasting with a nice dinner at White Fence Farm....with the negativity I'm seeing in all these threads, spending time at Zack's house is sounding pretty good......SORRY IF I'M PISSING ANYBODY OFF !!!!!!

    LOL!!! yep u learn that quick
    Anyway not sure I will make it due to tranny problem, now being built after it blew out seals and sprayed fluid all over bottom of car while I was about 100 miles from home heading to Alabama to see my sick elderly mom. Been back and forth to Alabama every month since Christmas except Jan, Feb & Aug so more than likely if I make a trip it will be to see her. I thought about coming since I do have a sister that lives in Chicago then drive to Alabama then back home to Texas but not sure if I can just show up, pay and join in. Car is roadworthy and been to Alabama since then. That was back in May but I had my totaled MM tranny put in while the other one was being built. Finally got to the point where I got back on site after not visiting & checking it for a while.

    It's going to kinda suck only making it for Friday but it will be plenty of fun. I might go for the train museum even if it's shut if we can still check them out or roam around the antique malls at Volo for a while

    Paul, the website for the trains says in small print buildings not open that day. I left a message with them and three days later they returned the call and verified just that. We would have to raise the money needed to make it work and I don't even mind just paying it myself for all I care. I just don't want to see them bring in help and have only 5-6 guys show up. That would be quite embarrassing to say the least.

    I'm liking your plans more and more. Problem is I'll probably have my youngsters all day so the winery is out. Not much of wine drinker anyways, I strongly stick to girlie fufu island drinks.
