tour contract is here!
OK, gang. Here's the link to the Tour Contract (it's also in the list of links on the right). Just click the link, download the file, open it (it's a PDF document), print it, read it, sign it and send it along with your deposit or full payment to me. As you're going over it, you may notice that I extended the discount payoff deadline for another month. You now have until July 1st to get the early bird price! As always, let me know if you have any questions about that or about anything else. Also, I've only got about 14 spots left, so sign up today so you don't get left behind!

Look to the right! I've just added some fun links to help us all get both excited and prepared for the trip. If you know of others that would be good to add to the list, leave me a comment and I'll put it on. Happy planning!

important updates!
So things are coming together and, even though the trip is still a few months away, I'm getting excited! Here are a few updates:
1. It's filling up! It's over halfway full and right now there are just 21 spaces left. So if you're on the fence, don't delay. Give me a call and get on the list!
2. New triple and single pricing. If you pay in full by May 31, here are the prices (per person): quad--$199, triple--$219, double--$229, single--$249
I think that's it for now. As always, let me know if you have questions and keep checking back for more updates!

frequently asked questions
OK, so you're all talking. Maybe you're deciding if you should go. Maybe you're trying to gather your group together. Maybe you're just a procrastinator (like me) and haven't gotten around to calling and signing up yet. Whatever the case may be, I've had a few questions that I thought I'd address in case you're wondering the same thing.
Q. Have you bought all the tickets to the show?
A. No. I have enough reserved with the lovely Tina (I don't really know--I've never seen her, just talked to her on the phone but she sounds lovely) at the theater there in Denver to accommodate as many people as will fit on the bus. Once I get the numbers all worked out and know exactly how many people will be going, I will be able to purchase the tickets. But, in the meantime, they will not be sold to anyone else unless I tell her to release them.
Q. Are we going on an RV?
A. No. That would not be fun. Maybe with a smaller group it would be, but not for this trip. It is a deluxe motorcoach with storage underneath for luggage, a kind driver (I hope), wireless internet access, satellite TV, reclining seats, the works!
Q. Does the motorcoach have a restroom?
A. Yes! Thank goodness, right? We don't want to be in the middle of Wyoming without a bathroom. That also would not be fun.
Q. How do the rooms work?
A. If you sign up for quad occupancy, that means you'll have four to your room in two queen beds. If you sign up for double, you'll have two in your room and you can choose either two queens or one king. So, if you want to know everyone in your room, you may want to gather a group of four or two and tell me who wants to be together when you book. If there are just three that want to be together, let me know and we can work out pricing for a triple. I could do a single price as well if you just want to be alone! I can also group partial groups or singles together to share a room if you want to get the quad occupancy price.
I think that's all for now. I will be posting the Tour Contract in the next couple of days for you to look at, sign and send in with your deposit so watch for that. If you've got any other questions you want me to address, please let me know!

who's in for a "Wicked" good time?
Last night, my seven-year-old daughter and I shuffled sadly away from the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City. After hours on the phone and online during the initial sale and after days of searching online, we had gone to try our luck at securing a couple of reasonably-priced tickets to the hottest show in town, "Wicked". We tried the lottery (with a few hundred other hopefuls), we tried the box office (several times) and even tried holding a homemade sign that declared "Need 2 Tickets". Nothing worked. We were dejected but not defeated. Instead of giving up, I decided to put together a tour to see the "Popular" musical in Denver when the production makes its stop there in the fall. So, if you, like us, were disappointed and unable to see it here in Salt Lake or if you loved it so much and just have to see it again, we'd love to have you come along! Here is a tentative itinerary and pricing:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13
2:00pm--Depart from the Salt Lake/Davis County area (specific place TBD) on a comfortable, deluxe motorcoach featuring restroom, reclining seats, lots of storage, wireless internet access, DVD and CD player and satellite television.
9:00pm--Arrive at Hampton Inn in Ft. Collins, Colorado, check in and relax, swim in the indoor heated pool, work out in the on-site gym or at the nearby 24-Hour Fitness (complimentary) or go to sleep.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14
8:30am--Breakfast at the hotel and check out.
9:30am--All aboard the motorcoach and depart hotel.
10:00am--Shopping stop at the Outlets at Loveland (Ann Taylor, Coach, Gymboree, J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and more) and The Promenade Shops at Centerra (Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Chico's, Express, Gap, J. Jill, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, White House Black Market and many more as well as several restaurants).
12:00pm--Back on the motorcoach.
1:00pm--Arrive Buell Theatre in Denver and attend 2:00pm matinee performance of "Wicked".
5:00pm (or right after show concludes)--Everyone back on board the motorcoach for the ride home.
1:00am (Sunday)--Arrive back at the departure point in Salt Lake/Davis County.
PRICING
Paid in full by May 31
$199 per person (quad occupancy)
$229 per person (double occupancy)
After May 31
$219 per person (quad occupancy)
$249 per person (double occupancy)
This includes:
Transportation to and from Denver on a deluxe motorcoach
Hotel for one night
Breakfast at the hotel on Saturday morning
Ticket to the show--all tickets are upper orchestra which means they are all on the floor (none in the mezzanine or balcony)
Goody bag
Entry into drawings for official "Wicked" merchandise
$50 deposit (non-refundable unless the tour is canceled) and signed Tour Contract secures your spot. Balance due by July 1st. Minimum age is four years old.
Sounds fun, right? I think so too! I am not a professional tour operator or a crazy "Wicked" fan--I'm just someone who wanted to see the show with her daughter and thought this would be a fun way to do it. So, if you're in, let me know as soon as possible. I'd like to see if I can fill the tour before I get locked into any huge financial commitments so gather your girlfriends, your sister, your daughter, your mom, your husband or whoever else and reserve your spot today. I will place your name on the list but your spot will not be officially secured until I receive your deposit and signed Tour Contract. I accept checks, money orders or PayPal payments.
I will be using this blog to communicate, update and inform as the tour starts filling up, as plans become more firm and as the date gets closer so check back often. Please feel free to contact me with questions.
P.S. This would make a great Mother's Day gift!
