OK everyone - I've been working more on the trip. Trevor and I are leaving after work Wed Nov 7th and returning Tues the 13th. Everything is still very rough right now but I have us booked for the river Fri night (more guides are signing on each day!) and I know plenty of rooms are available right now at our first choice for lodging. I also have us penciled in for group rates at restaurants in the evenings. Overall, for Thurs (I imagine most of you won't want to come Wed night - we will to prepare for the river trip) through Tues, I estimate everyone would pay roughly 450 for the entire trip. That does not include liquor, breakfasts, lunches, or gas (we voted on all of that at our last retreat). It does include rooms, dinners, and the entire river trip (park fees, river guides, all food on the river, raft fees). OK - I am flinching waiting for the responses. I really think that the 450 is a high estimate but I am feeling around in the dark. I really need to know who can come and who can come on which days. It is going to be a big but fabulous endeavor. I am just bursting at the seams over the whole thing.
Now - if you only want to come for a few days, I have rough estimates for each day. Here is what I have now, early in the game (all amounts are per person): Thurs night 8th, camp at LaKiva, dinner at KaKiva ~ $40.00 (if anyone wants a hotel this night, I've got plenty of info but if we camp this night, we'll all be together and we'll save lots of money), Friday day and Fri night - on river ~ $120.00 , Sat on river & Sat night dinner with Trev gigging with band and lodging ~ $120.00, Sunday hiking in park, go to hot springs, Trev play with different band at another club with dinner, lodging ~ $70.00, Monday ghost town tour, trip to Lajitas or all the way to Presidio (includes state park tour) & Mexico? Dinner and lodging ~$70.00. I am still fleshing out alot. Please give me feedback and help me make the best decisions for our trip. I want to make this ideal for everyone - help me! Love you! - Nola

Peter and I went rafting yesterday and one of the guides-Fred- also works in Big Bend. It got me excited about the trip. I think I will fly out Wed.or Thurs and return on Sunday. I don't think Peter will come along. I am pretty open about food lodging and I trust you! i think $450 is reasonable. Thank you. Love, Donna
