My guess is that she will want to go several times. Her usual response to a choice is to avoid it. Since lots of things might work, do you have any preferences/choices. Are you committed to an entire week? Want to shorten it to a long weekend (or is the travel to much of a pain for you).I don't think there is any plan that will include Bill in 2000. If we include Amanda, I think it is either Nov 3-8 or it is Thanksgiving. We could do a long weekend on either of those dates or if you want to take the whole week off, you and I could go for the week and Amanda could join us for part of it. I don't know how much time you want to spend on this venture. Do you want to wait until 2001? Give me some idea what is your first, second, third choice. And of course you can choose more than one ( I am sure Amanda will).

Let's see, the day of the week charters start and end is not fixed - except that the boat has to be available on the days you want it. We usually went Sunday to Sunday so we could get 2 weekends in and use the Saturday as a day to fly down. It's much harder to get there from Houston than NYC (fewer flights) so it pretty much takes all day to get there. The 3rd - 8th is a Friday through Wed. - not optimal from the weekend point of view but doable I suppose - it just means a 4 day instead of 7 day charter. If you want to wait until Thanksgiving we could certainly manage with the 2 of us - particularly if we got one of the smaller boats - and it might make sense to go back to the BVI where we know the sailing won't be all that challenging (I hear the St. Martin area can get rougher). Plan B sounds like fun too - and then we could all go together later (it seems mean to go without Bill) - New Years sounds like a blast to me! What would you think about heading down the Friday or Saturday before (12/29 or 30) and spending the first week of January there? That assumes Bill can get that week off and Amanda doesn't have to be back in school til later. I have a couple of sailing friends here that might like to go then too if you're interested in a slightly larger group. They're a lot of fun, good cooks and reasonable sailors too! "Linda Hayman" To: Mark.Taylor@enron.com Subject: Re: Sailing 09/05/2000 05:51 PM Amanda has a break from Nov 3-8th ( and I don't think she has classes on Friday anyway). Is that something the three of us can work with? Alternatively, do you think the two of us could manage over Thanksgiving - with amanda joining for the long weekend (fly down Thurs eve and back Mon). I can't remember what day of the week charters begin and end. - is it set in stone? Plan B - we could met at the Greenbriar or DC for Thanksgiving. I understand from Amanda that Bill is not going anywhere until 2001. Of course that does make New Year's eve a possibility. If all else fails, I did hear from Greg this week and he wants to know if we are still sailing. And I am still looking for something to do over Christmas.

I sent him a fairly detailed note on how we usually schedule things and which were the best times of year, etc. I haven't heard anything from Amanda and was beginning to assume they were not really interested in a November trip. Have you heard anything firm from Virginia? Bill's next-to-last paragraph tells me that he's getting to know Amanda - but I don't think she'll leave him alone for the holiday. The real question is whether her uncanny ability will extend to his schedule, too. If they still want to go we'd better make travel plans soon - that Thanksgiving Sunday is notoriously difficult to get seats. If you'd rather wait until Jan. or Feb. that's fine with me too. Just let me know. ----- Forwarded by Mark Taylor/HOU/ECT on 09/05/2000 05:04 PM ----- |--------+-----------------------> | | WMcgov1047@ao| | | l.com | | | | | | 08/21/2000 | | | 08:14 PM | | | | |--------+-----------------------> > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Mark.Taylor@enron.com, amh5h@virginia.edu | | cc: | | Subject: Re: Welcome home! | > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hey Mark, nice to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed the wedding. It went by so fast for me but it seems that people had a good time. Apart from a few travel related glitches the honeymoon was also spectacular. Tahiti is a true paradise. I am committed to the concept of sailing in the Carribean but my problem is that my honeymoon has put me firmly in "vacation deficit" at the SEC. Barring any emergency congressional action I will not have enough days available by Tgiving to truly enjoy sailing in the Carribean. Amanda has told me how much fun it is and I want to do it but I may need to find another time. I'll check into it and let you guys know definitively very soon. How long to you go for? Keep in mind though that I do not speak for Amanda. She has an uncanny ability to arrange her schedule so that she can participate in virtually every vacation idea that people bring up. I'll be in touch, Bill. ------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
