Silkie McDonough Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Bunny from what I can tell there will be at least 6 of us 'ladies' at PiP ...I'm sure there are more that I have not counted. I am equally sure that there will be no lack of 'protection' from unwanted advances ...and plenty of welcome advances as well! Perhaps those of us flying in could coordinate flights, meet at the airport, and travel to Key West together. Finding the Keys is easy, go south until you start crossing bridges. Key West is even easier, the road stops. Finding the fort will be no problem, it is a small island and ...ifin ya ken read, there are signs.
Bunnycutlass Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Huzzah, Wenches t' keep the Bunny from grabbin every lad she sees! I am glad I will have company in my endeavors! Who shall we start with first, I mean WHAT, WHAT SHALL WE START WITH FIRST? **She says with a gleam in her eye** Jest be sure t' introduce yerself. Most o' ye don't have pictures posted but I will remember the name! I will do me best t' include my ears in me packin so you all will recognize me! I don't think the men will be havin problems recognizing my ummmm....face? Seems Gunner has graciously allotted me the other half o' his tent. So now my place t' stay be set, I just has t' work on my play list for the weekend. This is really quite exciting and we aren't even t' Dec yet! Bunny Cutlass
LadyBarbossa Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I was just at the site for PiP. Glad to see they have lots up and prepared for this year. However... am I blind and daft? I was searching all over the site for registration forms and other info other than the schedule. Do I have to contact them for that? Or... have they not gotten them up yet? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
callenish gunner Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 lass, just post on the quartermaster's post on this site and william will add your name to our list ....other than that there is no registration needed; it's just attend and be happy :)
Patrick Hand Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 I started looking up Airline prices.... it will cost about $554 for me to get there.... now to save the money and get my tickets early (so that I KNOW that I won't have to worry bout it......)
Matusalem Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Any suggestions for non-Reenactors such as myself to come soak up the fun? I'll be there more as a spectator. I've seen the PIP website already, but I'm looking for some inside info from some of you more experienced brethren. I was down in KW last April and since family is in Pt Charlotte, Fl., we took the Key West Express ferry from Ft. Myers....a 3 ½ hr ride, That's the way to go.

We would be ever so glad to have you there. a pair of simple slops, a simple shirt and a sash is all that separates you from joining in the fun. I went around barefoot most of the time I was there last year. The best part about camping is being a spectator from the inside and outside. You could come and go from camp and enjoy both the festival and the camp.   Â
Captain Jim Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Agreed! There is nothing like being part of the show. I will be in a hotel this year, camping next, but in garb and participating all the way. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

I just found out I have 8 vacation days left for the year and I gotta 'use 'em before I lose 'em. As far as period threads, I know a couple of sources...real deal.

Can I add you to the Quartermaster's List as a definite? Oh...and as always I recommend this company for tents. http://www.redhawk-trading.com/ Â Â Â
Cap.Liamstarwatcher Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Aye this sounds like fun, be it to late to make plans now, cause me would love to go!
Captain Jim Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 It's never too late, not with all of these here pyrates standin' in ta help ye. Read all of the threads in this topic and ye will be well on yer way. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Patrick Hand Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I don't wanna jinx anything (heck... it took much longer to get the money together fer me doglock.. real life kinda got in the way...but I'm ordering it tomarrow....) YAAAAAA ! ! ! Anyway... plane tickets will run me a little less than $500. (from San Fransico to Key West) so I got to get those soon (well when I get the money...) but that's my next project.... working on it...... BUT IT IS DO-ABLE..... Heck.... PiP is my yearly vacation...... I am going to be there if I have to kill someone (If any cops are reading this.... I'm just joking about the killing part....... well..... torture may not be out of the question tho......) It will cost me about $300 just to go to Ojai in Southern California (in September) ..... and PiP is WAY COOLER.......... Like I've done for the last two years.... I'll fly out in me proper Pyratical garb, it's just too much fun to do......Security is a "hoot" when they wanna check your ditty bag for a telliscope....(and find the shrunken head...) and the kids in the airport... just "gawking" at the Pyrate....... Hey... I'm on vacation... I'm going to have lots of fun just getting to PiP...... Cool...... bout 4 months to go..... (thereabouts......)
Bunnycutlass Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Pat, try a link called "SIDE-STEP" they find the lowest rates by searching all the sites that have tickets available. I use them a lot and it always gets me the best rate for airlines. Highly recommend just checking the site periodically for the lowest rates around. Just some help so I get to see you at both Ojai and Keywest! I can't wait for Ojai... I missed it last year due to family complications. See you boys in Keywest! Hugh, I hope you don't snore...tee hee! Bunny Cutlass
callenish gunner Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 not so you'd notice most nights and if i do just toss a bucket boot at me head!!!
Silkie McDonough Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Hugh, I hope you don't snore...tee hee! Ummmmm... Bunny... It isn't Callinish or his handsome son that you need worry bout snoring ...tis me! Do not fear ...I always have a ample supply of ear plugs with me if it gets too bad! You think I'm joaking? Now, find me a lad t snuggle against and the snoring will be less ...or is that the sleep will be less!
Bunnycutlass Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 We will hunt together Silkie! I really be naught worried... once I am out, I AM OUT! A herd of stampeadin' pyrates couldn't wake me! I don't know if I will be able t' sleep I will be so excited! Been trying to figure out how to pack me cutlass.... I FINALLY GET ONE and I can't wear it because I can't pack it! At least I don't think so. In my last suitcase I had cuffs, a whip, my gun (although wooden and metal) and THAT WENT THROUGH CUSTOMS! Bunny Cutlass
Silkie McDonough Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I think it can be packed in your checked luggage. BTW Bunny... WELCOME BACK!
Patrick Hand Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Weapons, have to be in your checked luggage. The first year that I went, I didn't want a hasstle, so I declaired my non-firing pistol just to be safe. Security, didn't know how to handle it, but it wasn't really much of a problem. Just allow yourself some extra time, and let them know what you are carrying in your checked baggage........... My spyglass in my carry-on shows up as a metal tube, so they wanted to check that.... I was in full Pyrate garb, and when security opened my carry-on the first thing they saw was the shrunken head..... guess it gave them something to talk about at lunch....
Bunnycutlass Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 This week, Ontario and Florida are on Southwest frequent flyer.... WHICH AIRPORT IN FLORIDA DO I WANT? I didn't realize there wasn't one that said KEY WEST!!! I would like to buy my ticket before this expires on Monday..... Can someone tell me which airport in FL to land in? Bunny Cutlass
William Brand Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I flew into Key West via Fort Lauderdale. It was a puddle jumper of a plane from Fort Lauderdale to Key West, but it beat driving. I imagine you could also fly into Miami. Â Â Â
willie wobble Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 miami is bout 150 miles from key west and lauderdale is another25 miles or so and orlando is 350 miles, marathan has a small airport and is 50 miles away those would be the closest to key west then still rent a car or bus to get there.
Patrick Hand Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Last year I flew into Miami, and than caught the Greyhound bus down to Key West... It was an interesting ride.... but when I was looking for airling prices.... you end up only saving about $40.00 by doing so..... So more than likley, I will fly into Miami, and then take the "Puddle Jumper" into Key West.... A fun kinda asside..... OK... last year, they were just getting over the Hurricane, so the busses wern't quite "on schedule" but they sure beat taking a taxi (well price wise..........) There is just something about paying over $12.00 to go three miles in a taxi.........
Bunnycutlass Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I don't mind renting a car either..... May do that and save myself the aggrevation of buses and puddles! Besides, I hate not having a vehicle when traveling. Bunny Cutlass
