Road Trip:

· New Orleans: At May’s Roost meeting, the majority of members indicated that they would prefer to go to New Orleans for this years Road Trip. After talking with a Saints Representative, I found that there are NO group sales and neither the Stadium or the Saints Team sell individual game tickets. I then looked at other alternatives, including changing the trip to either Jacksonville or Tampa. Because most of the Roost wants to go to NOLA, I also looked at the trip BMOREAROUNDTOWN is offering.

Considering what is included in the package, and the options available, I think this is the best bet for our New Orleans Trip. The details for this trip are below. Be sure to look at the different options for how many nights you want to stay. There is also an option that includes airfare or just the land portion if you want to book your own. Both packages include:

o Round Trip Airfare BWI-MSY (If air package selected)
Airport Transfers (Airfare packages only)
Three or Four Night Hotel Accommodations in Downtown New Orleans
Friday Evening Boat Cruise with Food, Beverage and Live Music
Saturday Evening Pep Rally Party ON BOURBON STREET inclusive of food & beverage
#PurpleTailgate featuring premium catered food and beverage (All Inclusive)
Game tickets with other Ravens fans (Lower Level Upgrade Available)
Commemorative Swag Bag featuring T-Shirt, Koozie, Drawstring Bag and other goodies!
Commemorative Lanyard

The 4 night (Friday-Tuesday) package Land Only is $1,250/pp. With RT Air, it is $1,700/pp

When I talked with Brian, the owner of BMOREAROUNDTOWN, he said the hotels will be either Marriott or similar in downtown NOLA, so we will be close to lots of attractions. He also mentioned that the pricing for the different trip options is estimated, but he thinks the final price will be on the lower side of the estimates he is showing on the attached.

If you are interested in going on this trip, there is a $200 deposit per person required to hold your seat. Brian agreed to hold 40 spots for our group UNTIL JUNE 8TH, so you have to get the deposit to him by that date. Please also let me know if you are going so that I have a list as well.

In addition, you can go to "info@bmorearoundtown.com" to make your deposit.

If you have any questions, call me at 443-618-9972.

Please remember that you have to book directly with BmoreAroundTown to reserve your spot NO LATER THAN June 8th. Although most of the members voted to go to NOLA at the last meeting, as of today, there are only 2 couples that have advised me that they are interested in going on the trip. If you have, or are planning on booking with Bmore, please let me know so we can keep a list. Unfortunately, I may have to have back surgery in the next couple months and am not sure when I will be able to travel again, so Maggie and I are not able to commit to going on the trip. The good news is that Bmore has a good reputation for taking care of customers who go on their trips, so you will be well taken care of if you go. ALSO note that Bmore has trips to other away games if you decide you want to go to a different game.

Go to “www.bmorearoundtown.com” to see all of the trips and to reserve your spot.

Funny Poop

· A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, tells him she'll see him later, and walks away.
His wife glares at him and says, 'Who was that??!!'

'Oh,' replies the husband, 'that was my mistress.'

The wife says, 'That's it; I want a divorce.'

'I understand,' replies her husband, 'but, remember, if you get a divorce, there will be no more shopping trips to Paris, no wintering in the Caribbean, no Lexus in the garage, and no more country club. But the decision is yours.'

Just then the wife notices a mutual friend entering the restaurant with a gorgeous woman. 'Who's that woman with Jim? ' she asks.

'That's his mistress,' replies her husband.

'Ours is prettier,' says the wife.

Etcetera

· Got Poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.
