I am trying to figure out the right way to get certain parts of our travel plans published so that people can join us or make plans with us easier. I am stumbling around here, but I’ll try a post first, then figure out how to put it in my sidebar later.
February 11th and the morning of the 12th I am hosting La Belle Compagnie at my home for the next open shop, film review night, and company meeting.
February 18th through 25th, we are going to try out one of those Windjammer barefoot cruises to the Virgin Islands for a much needed vacation and the chance for some long-overdue underwater time.
March 11th and the morning of the 12th I am hosting La Belle Compagnie at my home for another open shop, film review night, and company meeting.
March 18th and 19th I’ll be with La Belle Compagnie at Military Through the Ages at Jamestown fort. Come see all the re-enactors and living history groups through time. March 27th through April 30th my graceful wife and I will be in Las Vegas competing in the Arthur Murray dance competition.
April 7th and 8th we’ll be back at the Sheraton Premiere here in Tyson’s Corners/Vienna VIrginia for the Spring Freestyles ballroom dance competition. Several people have asked if they can come and watch – you can. The best way is to become a student, and attend the show as a dancer, that gets you tables and seating on the floor itself, but it is not cheap. Alternatively guests can watch from the balcony (not as social, nor as close, but you do get a bird’s eye view). The competition begins Friday evening with newcomers dancing at about 7:30pm, they get to the longer term dancers (us) later in the evening, typically from about 9:15pm through 11:00pm. The competition continues at 10:00am Saturday, goes through lunch and typically stops at around 4:00pm. There is a formal ball Saturday evening which can be attended separately, social dancing, good food, and amazing professional dance shows. People are welcome to attend that as well, but they should be prepared to commit to the ball a few weeks in advance (food must be arranged) and the fee for the ball is typically around $150 (which is pricey, too pricey for Sheraton food, but you do get the amazing pro-shows and lots of chances to dance with people who know how to dance).
April 8th is the April La Belle Compagnie open shop and film review that my wife and I will have to miss, but we should be able to attend the Sunday (9th) company meeting.
April 22nd and 23rd I’ll be with La Belle Compagnie at Marching Through Time at Marietta Manor in Bowie, MD (a local living history event if you want to come see living history in person).
We are postponing our planned Belgium and Netherlands trip, probably until 2007. Mostly to join Mike and Joan for their wedding in Vegas in September.
The Medieval Centre in Denmark is a place that I really, really must go see sometime. B&L have been there and they say that people from La Belle Compagnie are invited to come out in costume sometime, that would be splendid.
