Oh boy

For a moment there I thought I'd have a heart attack when I read "no longer in Kissimmee". My wife and I booked our flights from Europe weeks ago.

I barely remember Lakeland, having driven through the area a few times. Sounds good about the convenient location though. But I don't believe my wife would be too happy, if we booked a local hotel or motel. In Kissimmee we used to stay in a nice resort and we both loved it (being Swiss tourists). Lakeland seems to be a bit bland and not the first choice for a vacation, or am I mistaken?

What do you guys think? Should we stay in Kissimmee for the duration of the meeting? That's what I'm leaning towards. Or would it be completely crazy to consider even staying in Clearwater at the beach and drive? Google maps tells me it would be about an hour plus or so. But the big G has been known to lie

Your thoughts guys?

Oh... the Swap Meet will be part of the whole event, right? I got a huge shopping list.

Thanks

Commuting from Kissimmee to Lakeland should be pretty easy.

You are looking at around 30 minutes from Kissimmee to the new show site. Clearwater will be 60-90 minutes depending on traffic etc. As far as the swap meet, do that the first day and plan on at least a half day.

I love Lakeland. I get out there once a week maybe every other week, and it just beautiful.

Did I miss the date and time of the event or are you sending out notifications?

The event is NOT on the Forum schedule of events for 2015 as the software will not allow 2015 events to be listed. Can a moderator open the 2015 calendar so the event can be listed.

Fantastic news! Looking forward to the much shorter trip from Clearwater with my two boys (4 and 2yrs old).

Kinda liked Old Town but I understand the need for more room. We had already booked our rooms based on the Old Town location so we will be "commuting" to the new location.

Are there any restaurants or other things to do in the new location?

I will stop by for sure. I am having some issues with my transmission and will be in the market for a solution by then.

Sounds good and I look forward to it.

Can't wait to get away from this cold and wet Tennessee weather for a week!

Can I get a spot in the Car for Sale area Friday morning when I get there, or do I need to do that in advance?
