Hi Everyone! For all of you attending the Roadtrip I appreciate your patience in waiting for the details. I will share with you the intinerary for the Roadtrip, however, keep in mind that some things in the line up can change if need be to better maintain the overall flow of the weekend. Things that will not change, however, are meals and their locations.
FRIDAY:
Welcome Party at Ramada Hotel Banquet Room...time to be announced(this will be held in a reserved banquet room exclusively for the Roadtrip attendees to gather and get to know one another. Noshies will be available and ice breaker and video trivia games will help you relax and enjoy! Come ready to laugh and play!
By the way, during the night, 10 lucky Roadtrippers will win an opportunity to step on the set with Cathe and Cast on Saturday afternoon and do a 5 minute mini step workout (2 of you at a time). Be sure to bring your video or digital camera and have one of your roadtrip buddies film this exciting workout for you.
SATURDAY:
8:00am...meet and greet Cathe and Cast plus have a tour of new facility and filming studio.
9:00am...Photographer comes to do one big group shot of the July 2005 Cathe Roadtrip Cast
9:30am ..Step Class (send me your favorite moves and I will create a workout using 10 of them).
10:30am .. Shower and get ready for lunch
11:30am ...Our group gathers to go to lunch (maybe some pictures while waiting)
12 noon.....Lunch at Italian Affair just 600 yards away in the neighboring shopping center. Socializing/pic's/autographes/food fights(just kidding) are all welcome while we munch out and laugh at how great we were in step class (or, how bad we messed up, Cathe included, ha)
2:15pm....15 Minutes Of Fame...we go to filming studio for pictures and then have our 10 lucky winners from Friday night step on set (two at a time) and do a mini step routine with Cathe and Cast. Have your cameras ready!
3:15pm.......Sculpting Class (weights and stability ball) This is the perfect class to have while you are still somewhat digesting lunch.
4:30pm....Optional tour of Sony factory (we still have not received a final response from Sony's availablity to do this) to see where DVD's are made. If not then we can do our team fitness relay here which will keep all of you working in groups and against the clock while laughing hysterically. You won't believe the things we will have you doing
600pm ...45 minute Kickbox class
7:30pm........DJ NIGHT PIZZA PARTY........Yes, you heard right, DJ NIGHT...Our very own Marke Moore from Boot Camp is one of the finest DJ's around and will MC our entire night plus keep you jammin' on the dance(fitness)floor...(no heels please, our fitness floor can't handle it, sneaks or barefeet are fine)....We'll also do raffles/pictures/giveaways/Cathe road trip t-shirts etc. We are even considering doing American Idol Cast Member Auditions.......WHAT A HOOT THIS WOULD BE!!! I will judge along with either our Cast members or the coordinators. This is also something that we can do in place of going to the Sony factory. By the way, you will not hurt our feelings if you prefer not to go to the factory tour. As it stands right now, we are not even sure if they can accomodate a group of this size for a tour.
10:30 or 11pm........back to hotels
SUNDAY:
7:00am....Early Bird Workout.....High Step Class
8:30am....Gather to head over to diner
9:00 am ...Good Bye Breakfast at 5 Points Diner
11am........Everyone lingers in the parking lot reluctantly saying their goodbyes and yes, even shedding tears (bring your tissues). Time to head home, sniff sniff!
Sometime tonight or tomorrow I'll post other details as far as menu selections, costs of meals, whether or not we should pitch in to rent a bus, etc.
I'm sure many of you will have questions and all of the coordinators (and myself) will do our best to keep up with them.
Oh yes, as far as cast....Brenda, Cedie, Rhonda, Jai, Lorrayne, and Mark will be there. Hopefully they can attend all the activities, but if not you will see them at some point over the course of the weekend.
