    PinkCoatGirl, it would be great if you would post directions from Buffalo to Rama. I agree about Mapquest not always being accurate. Dreamer and I had no problem getting from San Francisco to Sac, but couldn't find our hotel following their directions.

    Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
    Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
    I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
    In a world full of pushin' and shove.

    Ugh, Mapquest can be a pain. They're fine on the highways, but once you're in the city, they're inconsistent at best. Thanks for all the advice and tips, guys.

    PCG - It would also be great if you could let us know if the casino will accept U.S. currency. I didn't want to have to bother with exchanging currency, but I will do it here if it is going to be necessary. The last time I was in Canada (many, many years ago), I think most places accepted U.S. currency, and were quite familiar with converting it at the exchange rate. Thanks for offering to get this info for us.

    Okay...I come bearing a little news, anyways!

    US currency is *not* accepted at the casino (except possibly a couple restaurants, but he said even then, you're probably better to change it), but can be changed over at the cash cage thing (where you'd exchange chips for cash or vice versa, I guess). So I guess you're safe to just use US currency everywhere else and change a little over at the casino...I imagine they probably charge a fee although the guy didn't tell me that, and dreamer, you're exactly right--most other places don't have a problem with it.

    As for directions, I'm going to have to get a hold of an actual map, hehe, because the main highway you'd use to get east to Toronto before going north to Rama looks to be closed that weekend, at least partially...so I'm going to have to find out where it's closing and how to get around it, and then I'll let y'all know for sure.

    Less than 3 months! And I finally was able to get my ticket for the Saturday show, although it doesn't bear repeating...I'm in, like, 50th row. *sighs* Ah well...at least I'm dead center, and I'll be there!

    Julie-

    I'm coming in a little late on this thread (too much work lately--ugh!) but I am sorry about what your mom said too. It is so annoying when your family doesn't "get it." My younger sister lives in Atlanta, and last summer when Don & Stevie came there, I called her and asked if she would go with me as a favor. She agreed until I told her I wanted to buy the best tickets and then she blew a gasket, going on & on about how stupid it was to spend so much money on a concert, why did I care about this man so much....you know the drill. It really made me mad so I told her to forget it. Thankfully Lynda/sillykat emailed me and agreed to go with me, and we had a great time.


    As someone else expressed so eloquently, I too will be living in "envyland" (insert picture here--Don singing "It's Not Easy Bein' Green") as many of you go to the UK and Casino Rama and other places to see the guys this summer---but thank goodness for this site and Eagleland, so we can live vicariously through you! Have a blast--I KNOW you will!

    That's right Dana. Thanks for saying that. I am over the 'envy' now, really! Living vicariously can be fun.

    You know girls I just don't think any of us can get enough of our guys - the more we see them, the more we want to see them again. Even though I'm going to Rama, I'd still just love to go to Europe and Mount Pleasants. (VBS> There's just no pleasing us, is there?

    You are right, dreamer--the more we see them, the more the WANT to see them!

    Oh see...now that was a much nicer response than I'd have put. I was thinking along the lines of the more we see them, the more of them we want to see.
