Moderators Amy Posted February 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2006 Trey can help with this question more than I can,but I'll give it a shot. Yes, flying into Little Rock has always been preferred for those of us from Indy traveling to the plant. If I remember correctly, it's about a 2 hour drive to Hope. I think we're going to look into reserving rooms at the Holiday Inn Express and/or the Best Western, both in Hope and within walking distance to the tenantive Saturday evening activities. Don't book yet, we might be able to get a deal. Fancy schmancy eating places?? Hmm, at a loss there. Western Sizzlin? [] You might need to go into Texarkana, I think it's about a 35-45 min drive.

seti Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Fancy schmancy eating places.... Don't they have a Dairy Queen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hope is pretty much like Mayberry without the mountains, or Mount Pilot nearby. Good people. The watermellon festival. The Klipsch factory. Down home cooking. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Jim, Our anniversary (19) is on the 14th! Not all together sure how many of the fini clan will be in attendance. When I flew to Hope in September, Southwest was the best deal. No way to get a direct flight from SFO or Oakland, but that may be a possibility from So. CA.

DrWho Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Would camping out be an option? Any campgrounds in the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 It would be fun to roll out sleeping bags in the factory (I got dibs on the couch in the lab demo room)! We could roast marsmallows outside, and tell ghost stories in the anechoic chamber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fini, June 14th is your wedding anniversary? Did I know that? Did you know Jan and I have the same anniversary. June 14th this year will be 26 years for us. Maybe I knew that and had an attack of amnesia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here's a link to a list of Hope Restaurants. http://ypng.infospace.com/_1_2OGJTWR04OBN4E2__info.inn/ypv3/list.htm?&kcfg=ypus&ypinsp=0&resolve=location&searchtype=all&fromform=qsearch&qb=5812AI2FAB3&qc=hope&qs=ar&qk=15&xmlurl=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.superpages.com%2Fxml%2Fsearch%3FSRC%3DInfospace%26search%3DFind%2BIt%26PG%3DL%26CS%3DL%26T%3Dhope%26PB%3D%26S%3DAR%26Z%3D%26A%3D%26X%3D%26P%3D%26CID%3D5812AI2FAB3%26K%3D%26C%3D%26N%3D%26PI%3D%26NA%3D%26STYPE%3D%26R%3DN&qsubcat=firstpage&ypfwd=1&9236 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
