Well it's here again and for Doug and I well I don't know just a tradition now. I guess we had a lot of memories after the years. I think the best quote last year was "How many lucky dogs can Doug eat?". Oh then there was the chicken man one year. Always a time to get a Lucky Dog but don't worry I'm sure they will be out of relish for the 6 year. Last year the bar shirts were a hit so everyone needs to pinch themselves and BUY one this year. And we can do the little name game and label the shirts best Mardi Gras 2002.
Oh then don't forget we will be stopping for breakfast at Joe's.

Last year we got jammed on the condo fee and it worked out to something like 500 per person just for the condo. So I'm not quoting any Condo Rates till January of 2002. So if you want to stay with us plan on reserving $500 for the condo and if the price is more I'll let you know less/more.
Condo DEPOSIT is Due to Tony December 1st 2002 of $200 per person. IF YOU DO NOT SEND A DEPOSIT YOU do NOT have a room!
After I get the EXACT condo prices that BALANCE money will be DUE to me before Feb 1st or you DO NOT have a room reserved
Just so they know.
MONEY IS DUE BEFORE THE TRIP.
Mail it to our house 11497 Dunlavy Lane Whitmore Lake MI 48189

Condo Information:
If you plan on staying in a condo I need to get $200 security deposit that is
NON-REFUNDABLE because all the money for the condo needs to be paid up front and there is
NO REFUNDs. The condo's that we booked last year was pretty nice. Had a balcony, hot tub,
kitchen, and all the things that you hope a nice condo will have. They slept 4 people
unless you want to sleep on the floor. One condo for the week is around $2400 which breaks
down to about $612 per person if you sleep 4 in your condo.
Flight Information:
The longer you wait to book your flight the higher the price. Some of us
bought our tickets back in March for $270.00. Prices as of 10/1/2002 is about
$542 for direct depending on what times you want to fly.
Feb 7th Depart DTW at 9:00am arrive MSY 10:51am Flight #1477
March 16th Depart MSY at 4:15pm arrive DTW 7:53pm Flight #1474
When we land we will be getting either one or 1 limos to take us to the condos depending on how much SHIT we have packed with us. We have to fit the (20) 30 packs in the LIMO this year so we might run out of ROOM.
Unless Doug pulls another DF and gets a CAB.
Bead Information:
I would recommend considering buying beads before you go down to New Orleans to try to save some money contact Doug or Tony for more information in buying beads.
The Mardi Gras Colors:
 | Purple - Justice |
| Green - Faith |
| Gold - Power |
People that are currently BOOKED to go:
Everyone seems to have been assigned something to make the trip a little more enjoyable.
If anyone else is interested in going please let me know because I'm starting to book the condos and need a head count. The LAST day to let me know will be Nov 15th with the money paid.
Thank you
And if you have any questions please feel free to email me at Tony.Portelli@tridelec.com
