Okay...the excursions have been posted for a little while. are any of you going?

I think I'm going to do the Coors Brewery one...even though I hate beer.

I am undecided... I am a huge Titanic fan but it seems like a museum visit and what fun is that. I think the brewery would be more social.

I really wanted to go rock climbing or white water rafting or something like that.

So far I am also leaning towards the brewery. Let me know your final answer Amanda.

Well, registration for the excursions is due by June 18th, so we've got about 2 more weeks to decide. I think I am going to go ahead and register for it when my next paycheck comes in. I am not a spa kinda person, and like you, I'm not too keen on museums.

Do we want to try for a greek chat meet up? We've tried in the past .. without alot of success ...

Usual meeting place has been the hospitality room before the opening dinner ... any takers this year?

I'm in. Matching faces and names would be nice.

What time does the opening dinner start? My flight comes in the afternoon. I'd be interested in seeing the Greekchatters again. I think we met up in Arizona.

FYI: Shuttle information from the airport:

I actually did not get the email with this information in it - I only found out about it because the chapter I advise sent it to me.

Have you checked into riding the train. I know last time I went to Denver for a conference my group took the train from the airport to the hotel we were staying at.

Hope everyone's having a good time at Convention - so sad I couldn't be there. I want to hear stories when everyone gets back!

Atlanta, GA July 5th, 2011! Save the date!!!!!!

AXiDTrish · #12 06-28-2009, 12:49 PM

Let me just tell you how THRILLED I am about Convention in Atlanta in 2011!!! When my collegiate attendee recognized the Georgia on my Mind music, she was so excited! I think we can send most/all of the chapter to at least one event each. How cool is that!?!?!?!

And.....I do NOT have to fly! Weeee!!!

AZ-AlphaXi · #13 06-28-2009, 01:58 PM

Yeah for Atlanta ... can't wait for 2011 and see my sisters in Atlanta ... see you there!!!

amanda6035 · #14 06-28-2009, 03:24 PM

This was absolutely the BEST convention EVER, and I cant wait for it to be in Atlanta in 2011!

I'm a little confused by the July 5-10 though, which is a tues-sun, when it's been wed-sun in the past. Hmmmm... I'm SO excited about this!

AZ-AlphaXi · #15 06-28-2009, 06:48 PM

We were talking about this is the hotel lobby while waiting this morning ... perhaps its the dates when the convention rate is good at the hotel...but yeah ... in 16 conventions, there's only been one that wasn't Wed - Sun
