because we're all crashing at Maria's.

Maria, how far/close do you live?

I could go to the IHQ site and look up your address or walk into the kitchen and get your change-of-adress to do a Mapquest..but I'm lazy, lol. ;)

Hahaha, Lynn, that's OK!

According to Mapquest, I live 132 miles away from Indian Wells (a 2 hour drive). That having been said, if I am still living in Southern California next June, I would be thrilled to host any and all Alpha Gams for an extra day or two after Convention!

Does Sean know about this offer?

I wasn't aware that I needed his permission? ;)

I have a tall plastic clear Coke bottle that I put "spare" change in.

Hubby says, "That's fun money". I said "That's Convention money"!!

When I counted this morning, I have $85.50 to pay for 1/2 a bed...glad it's a year away;)

Lynn, you could always pay for a 1/4 of a bed and then you'll be a lot closer to your goal! :)

I think the spare change idea is a great way to save for Convention. I need to start now--thank goodness I don't need to worry about airfare this time.

I love my sisters but 4 in a bed is too close!;)

Go check your email or go to our official website for updates on Convention! New stuff! :D

If the weather is not too hot/rainy, etc. I vote that we have all the sessions, except initiation, outside by the pool.:cool:

I would like to have sessions poolside with an open bar and hot cabana boys to deliver my drinks to me!

Wait! It's not being done that way? I may need to rethink this going thing!

;)

Dealing with the 8 inches of snow outside becomes so much easier when you look at the pictures of the hotel for Convention. I was just looking at them again and called my co-workers over to show them how incredible it looks. They are jealous now!

A little more info
 

1 – Plans are underway in finalizing the registration packet price and should have that done within the next few weeks.

2 – They are doing things a little differently this time as the cost for sleeping rooms will not be included in the registration price for Convention. Attendees will need to book and pay for sleeping accommodations directly with the hotel. Our special rate is $99.00 per night not including applicable taxes for single, double, triple or quad occupancy. Reservations can be made using the toll-free number 877-804-4070. You will need to mention you are with Alpha Gamma Delta to get the special rate.

:cool:

(I didn't send reply to whomever replied to me but wonder if that $99 is per room or person?)

Re: A little more info
 

Usually hotel rates are based on double occupancy...?

I just posted what I got, lol. Prob more info after the 1st of the year and maybe they will have a countdown like they did last time:D
