I'll be there....I CANT FLIPPIN WAIT....

I don't know yet.

They haven't annouced the cost and my budget is tight for "extra's." I heard they are rolling out some changes to make the trip more cost effective, but I just don't know.

It makes me sad too...this would be my fifth convention.....

To any influential people out here (and I know you are

)....please post the cost as soon as possible! It will be most helpful and I REALLY want to go to my 5th convention!!!

I, unfortunately, will probably not be at Convention. Even though it's fairly close to me (well, closer than the East Coast), I still don't think I'd be able to swing it financially. I'm bummed

I started my savings account specifically for convention a year ago, and I havent touched it except to add more to it. No way was I going to miss it. I just figured it was easier to plan for what the cost of convention has been in the past. Hopefully it will be cheaper though - but if it is, that's going to be GREAT!

I was hoping to go this year, but nope... preggo lady can't go...

WOOOOOOOOOO!

Who's gonna do the Foundation run/walk on Saturday morning with me this year?

And YAY for lunches on our OWN!

Exciting - now I reaaaalllly want to go! Maybe I can swing going for Fri-Sun. I checked airfare and it's pretty cheap. Hmmmmmm...

Anyone know when they will release the prices?

Convention registation and hotel registration information are up on the web site

Hotel rooms are $129 per night. But in the online Hotel registration, I don't see anyway to get that rate.

Now I just need to figure out what hours I will be "working" at convention, so that I'll know which packages are appropriate for me to register for. No sense in paying for the day time educational sessions if I'm going to have my booth set up instead....

I also need to find out what package is required for those members who are going specifically for the Workout. it looks like the workout is ONLY on Friday, so it might be appropriate to have Workout members get the weekend special plus pay the workout fee. From a chapter standpoint, if she wants the whole package, she can pay the difference....

Darnit.....the get up and go isnt a 5K walk/run this year.

I'm not doing those exercise sessions...LOL. I guess I'll turn in my "Sleep In" donation to the Foundation instead.

Looks like they are going to start myspace and facebook groups soon to help sisters find roommates....that's cool!

I registered today! Anybody else register yet? Dont forget, if you're getting the full package, tomorrow is the deadline to receive the $25 discount! Registrations after May 1st are charged a $25 late fee.
