Sarah, I hope you don't mind...but I merged your thread with the one we had which also had some of the info about next year's Centennial.

I made up my mind in 2001 that I was going to the Centennial. I'm sure that the specifics will be sent out soon. The Chicago Marriott is right along the Magnificent Mile (I think), so bring your shopping money!!!

To quote the infamous hawaiiagd: "I don't care what it'll take for me to get there. Even if they have to take me in an URN, there's nothing that's stopping me from going to Chicago!"
