2011 will be in Vegas, baby. We'll make it a UPS hourly convention, sans the rhetorical crap. ( Daddy, is crap a bad word? Yes honey it is a bad word, please don't say crap.)

Definately Apr. 18. Roatan is supposed to have some great sites. And I would love to go to Cozumel.
If this is going to happen when will the decision be made as to what date. We are supposed to be done with our bids sometime next week and I would like to go ahead put my request in for Apr 18 (assuming that is the week).

Good question.

April 18th may be during the week that schools in New York are on spring vacation and, if that is the case, it will be hard for me to get vacation. When my kids were younger the older drivers would try to make sure that the younger guys with kids still in school would be able to get that week off if they wanted it so that they could go on vacation with their families and, now that my kids are grown and out of the house (well, my son actually moved back in but stays here long enough to clean out my fridge) I try to do the same for my younger co-workers w/kids. Pay it forward?
I think the cruise is an excellent idea and thank Steve and the others for helping pull it all together. I also think that the best thing to do is set a firm date early enough so that everyone can make their plans accordingly and so that there is no waffling or indecision. Those who can go, have a good time. Those who can't, wish those who can go "Bon voyage!" and make sure to bring back lots of pictures.

I think the April 18th cruise should be the one, as it's not too wintery and it's a good cruise. Hope everyone can come on this date. If at all possible, we like to see you there as well, upstate.

You work 40 hours a week and older drivers give up time for the younger ones. Where is this Nirvana of which you speak?
Yeah, I was wondering too, especially at:
"... the older drivers would try to make sure that the younger guys with kids still in school would be able to get that week off "
All the drivers think only of themselves here. No one would help anyone else in this way.

I actually did talk a more senior driver out of taking spring break one year so I could. He agreed. I went to Disney World. I gave him a 50$ Applebees gift card and he's been giving me 10 stops a day ever since.
