I am going to SK's Convention in Palm Springs, CA and now I am worried about the heat. I keep telling myself it'll be ok since it's "dry heat" although I must admit I can't fathom what that feels like.

Tri Delta's Convention will be July 2-5 at the Hyatt Regency downtown Chicago. I cannot attend this year, but I am really planning on attending in 2010 if the location is close like it is this year.

We have not had a whole lot of rain this year yet, so bugs shouldn't be too bad, especially in the city.

For the Riverwalk--I highly recommend a restuarant called Iron Cactus. Its my fave down there and they have great tableside guacamole. I take visitors there and they are always impressed, especially when they find out mayonaise is not an ingredient in authentic guac. :)

Enjoy!!

ETA:
DPhiE is celebrating its convention this summer in the DC area.

We had dinner at the Iron Cactus tonight and it was excellent! Thanks again for the tip! I have until around 2 pm to do some things tomorrow so I'm planning on an early morning trip to the Alamo (before it gets too hot), a riverboat tour, and then the pool!

It's miserable but it could be worse. It could be hot & humid.

I live less than an hour away from Palm Springs so it's always hot around here but I'm kinda used to it. Still, I suggest loads of sunscreen and drink lots of water.

D-Phi-E is in Washington DC, July 10-13.... :-)

When we had our Convention in Palm Springs I was expecting dry heat - but our hotel had a river running through it, so we got the humidity, too! It was like a sauna near the "river".

Phi Gamma Delta summer 2008
 
On August 6-10, the Phi Gamma Delta Ekklesia will take place in Miami Beach, Florida; it is Fiji's 160th convention! We will be in the downtown Miami Hilton.

The Alpha Gams are back from a wonderful Convention in San Antonio. Most of us felt it was THE best convention ever. Having a site where the hotel was connected to a mall was a HUGE perk! The Knibbe Ranch was the ultimate in fun. As I commented to some sisters that night, "This was like a huge fraternity party, but without the men or the alcohol, and we had the best time without either!" Classic pictures of sisters on Oreo the longhorn steer and competing in armadillo races and we danced the night away! Great location, great company, great time! We loved it! And I MUST get back to San Antonio when I have more time to enjoy the city!

And in 2010, we will be heading to Tampa!

AGDee, so glad your Convention was a huge success. Thanks for sharing the "report" with all of us. I do think San Antonio is a great location.

I leave for the Chi Omega Convention in St. Louis in just a couple of weeks. I do wonder what the flooding situation will be like then.

Janerz222 06-24-2008 03:04 PM

We Thetas are back from Miami. Other than yucky weather (daily thunderstorms) and some travel delays because of it, it was a wonderful Convention!! I, for one, needed a lot of sleep the last two nights to catch up. It was worth it.

We'll be in Tucson (the right time zone!!) in 2010.

ASArachel1 06-27-2008 12:23 AM

ASA's will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico!!! :-D
