I did...then I woke up next to my wife.... :O
I will have to look closer at his site for them. I was at work last time I looked (wait...that's where I am now!) and didn't have much time.

Good God, man, I've already got 15 hot tub suites! How many can one
guy use???? Imagine them all filled with beautiful women and then ask yourself that question again! ) If they are all full, why would you need more? You should have said, "Imagine them all filled, with dozens more waiting their turn." |

A thought...what about adding your own opinions of some places you, your
wife, and your kids like to go to? How's this, from the site: http://alexisparkinn.com/recent_events.htm This page started off being just events held at the inn, but has evolved into events we've been to near and around the inn, too. It's not quite what you asked for, but it contains many of the same types of things! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Just read an article in the current issue of Private Pilot about a "annual
inspection parties." Take a look at it. Cool idea! I wonder how many people would actually be able to take a week off work to get their hands dirty, though? I do an "owner assisted" annual every year (and really enjoy it) -- but I'm only able to steal a day or two -- and not the entire day, usually -- to do it. And I've got about as flexible a schedule as you can imagine. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Well, for example, you point out that you're pretty busy during the summer and that it would be difficult to set up some sort of special deal for pilots for a variety of reasons. So, don't. Don't subvert your business to your hobby if it's going to substantially decrease your income.

You'd probably have a better chance to get this off the ground with owners
that are a bit let's say..."fanatical" about their aircraft type. That article had Navion owners but others may include owners of Grumman Tiger/Cheetah/Travelers, warbird-types (L-19s come to mind), Commanders, Ercoupes, and Bellanca Vikings. In other words, close communities of relatively uncommon or rare types. Call some of the clubs or associations of these birds and run the idea by them. Who knows, they may even have one of these "parties" as a regular occurrence and are looking for a change of venue. Actually, you should call these clubs anyway and work out any type of get-together. You know, offer a reduced rate and stuff as an incentive. Marco Leon "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:ela_e.166380$084.157838@attbi_s22...

Well, for example, you point out that you're pretty busy during the summer and that it would be difficult to set up some sort of special deal for pilots for a variety of reasons. So, don't. Don't subvert your business to your hobby if it's going to substantially decrease your income. Ah, right. That's the rub, though, isn't it? I'm not doing this to get rich, I'm doing this because it's fun! This past summer we had 16 weddings at the inn (well, the weddings were at the church, but you know what I mean), which was wonderful -- we were full all the time. But, you know what? We had to turn away pilots on quite a few weekends. Since the pleasure I derive from this business is not monetary, but rather the fun of hanging around hangar flying with pilots all day long, what the hell did I gain? On the other hand, that income enabled us to add a new workout room and an in-house massage therapist -- so I guess it's all good. But I'd personally rather do more pilot-oriented stuff. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
