What if it was on the weekend of Nov 22-23?

Here is a event plan (just for fun)...

http://www.bricktime.com/fla-event.pdf

Lets say your coming down to eat with the folks on Thanksgiving. Here is one way
it could go down...

1- Drive down Friday
2- Go to the event Saturday (maybe the wife and kids could go to Bush Gardens
Tampa for the day?)
3- Bring the family to the Sunday public day
4- Check out LIC Orlando Monday and go to one of the parks
5- You still have Tues/Wed for more park action
6- Dinner with the folks for Thanksgiving.
7- Go home Fri-Sun

Just, some ideas to ponder...

(...) Hmm, that would be harder for me to do :-) That would take 4 vacation days (fly Friday, take off Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday). Frank (23 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.events, lugnet.loc.us.fl, lugnet.org.us.gflug)

(...) I've just realized that I cannot make it on the 23, so I can't make that weekend either. :( -JHK (23 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.events, lugnet.loc.us.fl, lugnet.org.us.gflug)

(...) I will actually be in Orlando that week but will be heading back up to Amelia Island for turkey with the inlaws on the 27th. So I doubt I could turn around and drive back down for the weekend. These holidays are tricky, for example Brickfest (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events, lugnet.loc.us.fl, lugnet.org.us.gflug)
