It's Cleveland.... start of February, freezing outside .... and probably snowing! Wouldn't it be nice to go out sun bathing without flying 1000 miles away??!!! Picture yourself under a waterfall in an outside hot-tub with a swimup bar! Snow is falling around you and a crazy man is throwing snowballs from a distance! LOL Well, that was us last year and we are doing it again...this time in style.

Now that the Kalahari Resorts in Sandusky has finished their massive renovation, they're considered the nation's largest indoor waterpark. They have a suntanning deck and jacuzzi too. If we get ten people, group rate is $29 (reg price 42) We will organize carpools and exact details closer to the date.

Here's their description of the expansion:

NOW OPEN! Kalahari, Sandusky is now home to America?s Largest Indoor Waterpark with 173,000 sq. ft. of wet & wild fun!

I went ahead and booked a Village Suite. This will be the party room of all party rooms, here is the description;

The cost per person is $56.00 (except the Tootie early bird special if he goes) This could turn out to be one of the deals of the century....the are people paying $42 just to spend the day at the waterpark alone. Ok some additional details.....we will arrange for carpools based on your location. Checkin is anytime noon or later on Saturday, and checkout is at 11 am Sunday, but the waterpark can be enjoyed until 3pm on Sunday. There is a nightclub that opens up at 10 pm on Saturday so be prepared for some night life fun too! Also I propose we have dinner in the room to cut down on some costs. Perhaps grill some burgers and hotdogs like we did at putin bay? There is a full kitchen with a frig so we can do it. Also it is Lisa's birthday so we will be celebrating that as well!

I have authorized paypal as the preferred means of payment. You can access this through the meetup page. I'll accept other means of payment (cash, check) in person if paypal is not an option for you. In all honesty we may have enough interest to book another 6 person room I'd love to see that happen. If this one fills I may be able to book another but only if I collect the money first. The cost per person would be roughly the same for thise in a 6 person room, I believe. They may sell out or throw the 2 night required flag soon though.

Contact me with any questions!!!
