Dale: He usually has salad and some of my entree when we eat at a lot of places. Dale: So he eats about 1/4 or less of an adult meal. Dale: most of the time. Pamela: okay Pamela: I'm trying to refine his convention costs rich-c: oh, swhere do swe stand on breakfast, Pam? Pamela: some of which is the food Pamela: it's included in your fees Dad rich-c: I know that, but what are they offering? Pamela: personally I don't stand on it I eat it, but to each his own . . . Pamela: hang on to that thought for a moment Dad Dale: I'd like a picture of Richard standing on his breakfast. It would be great. Pamela: Dale will you order something separate for Jeff for the banquet? Pamela: LOL - so would I Dale: What is the plan for the banquet? Pamela: choice of five meals all at the same price - but probably way too much food for Jeff Dale: He would normally just have an appetizer salad and some of my food. Pamela: okay, let me talk to the catering manager and see if I can't get some pricing with that idea in mind Pamela: then I can roll those charges into his fees and you won't have any extra charges Dale: Sounds good to me. Pamela: me too , makes life simpler Pamela: and I'll work out something for lunches as well rich-c: I assume teh breakfast price is separate from the rooms, and won't carry over for the extra days? Pamela: breakfast price is separate from the rooms Dad, but will be rolled into your fees for the convention days Pamela: you will have a choice of four different breakfasts rich-c: yes, I was concerned about the non-convention days - we're on our own, they rich-c: then rich-c: but bring our own orange juice? Dale: My flight to Zurich is currently scheduled for Monday night after AdamCon. But I may yet pay the fees to shift it to Tuesday. Dale: Jeffrey's kindergarden graduation is supposed to be on the Tuesday at 10am. Pamela: again, I can ask Debbie about extending the breakfast menu for non convention days and a glass of juice comes with your breakfast Dale: I booked it an the next day was told Jeffrey's graduation day. :-( rich-c: oh, I gathered it was juice or coffee but not both Dale: Is it a hot breakfast? Pamela: your choice, Dale rich-c: anyway we are into very light breakfasts and would likely just set thin gs up in our room Pamela: Dad, I'll have to check the contract and clarify rich-c: make it much more conveneient when we sleep in Dale: So whatever Jillian registered me for then I guess. :-D Dale: No problem. Dale: What is the name of the hotel again? Pamela: Dad, lets discuss this on the phone - it's getting too complicated rich-c: OK Pam, whenever Pamela: Quality Inn Parkway Hotel, St. Catharines Pamela: Dale, you'll have your choice each day - a menu will be available shortly Pamela: and menus will be in your folders Pamela: okay, now that I have more info on Jeffrey, I'd better head to bed Pamela: russell's been home for half an hour and I haven't spoken to him yet : ) rich-c: me too - I am definitely running out of steam Pamela: okay rich-c: so goodnight to you both Pamela: Dale if you think of anything else, send me an e-mail rich-c: and colour me gone
