Darn, that was the only one I was interested in.

I wish the World of Coca Cola was open later in the evening. It sounds like a fun place.

The world of Coke is pretty cool. Just remember to be careful tasting the flavors from around the world....There are a couple that are SUPER nasty!!!!

Stone Mtn would also be great if it included the laser show but I don't think it does. As a local, I've been to many of the places so if you have any questions, just let me know and I'll give ya the scoop!!!

Beverly is a super nasty flavor. I remember thinking, "So this is what swill tastes like." I think that they sell it in Australia.

Glitter too bad about Mary Mac's. I wanted to do that one too but Mr. aopirose wasn't interested in the menu. Too many similar restaurants here. You know, I am starting to rethink this whole idea of bringing him along.

Also, too bad about your shopping trip. I went into the city yesterday and bought some adorable stuff. Now I need shoes. The woman at the maternity store asked me if I needed something special and I told her about convention. She said, "What fun. I was a Tri Sig from a really small school and I was a convention delegate etc... , but I haven't been involved for years." I told her, "You still ARE a Tri Sigma and here is the name of your Alumnae Panhellenic rep. Call her because they would love to have you." She told me that she went to Pittsburg State. I said home of the Gorrilla's right? She freaked out because in the last 8 years that she has been in New Orleans, NO ONE had ever heard of her school. I told her that my neighbor wears her Gorrilla wear all the time!

BTW- I paid my Life Loyal dues! I wonder what our present is for signing up?

I tasted the different flavors they had in Ice Station Cool at Epcot a few years back. Beverly is most foul, ewwww! Just get me to Atlanta and a glass of real iced tea!

I paid mine too. Maybe we'll get our present at Convention?

Did anyone end up signing up for any of the side trips? I didn't...so I need something fun to do on Friday night

Beverly is the worst I've tasted too! I hope the Marriott has SWEET tea like all southerners know is the best (make that ONLY) way to drink iced tea.

At least if they don't, there's pleanty of other places around to get a nice large glass.

Hey Everyone!
I made it home to the MS Gulf Coast to be with the family and to GO SHOPPING! Also, I still have not received the Life Loyalty program letter. I'm starting to worry. I know they have my address be/c they just sent me a letter about voting during convention and the slating process.

I'm starting to get really excited!

AOIIalum · #7 06-11-2005, 09:34 PM

K-

Glad you made it safe and sound!

I don't have my Life Loyal letter right here. I believe the letter was sent out pre-Convention only to those who participated in AOII Always. Life Loyal is actually replacing AOII Always.

I'm getting really excited, too...just wish I could find a new appropriate & affordable plus sized white dress. Guess white is really out this summer?

aopirose · #8 06-12-2005, 03:54 PM

I didn't join AOII Always so I am am not sure how I got a pre-convention letter.

Anyway, AOIIalum, if you want, you can hang out with me when whites are needed. I refuse to buy a white maternity dress.

AOIIalum · #9 06-12-2005, 06:16 PM

It's a date, then

See you in a few weeks!

SnowLady · #10 06-12-2005, 08:36 PM

Are we going to try to meet up as a group?

AOIIalum · #11 06-12-2005, 09:18 PM

Definitely! The question is, when?

NeonPi · #12 06-13-2005, 10:00 PM

Sorry I have been a bit quiet .... getting prepped for Convention, another possible move, and getting last bit of personal crap dealt with...FINALLY!

Y'all should see the hat I have for high tea/dinner on Thursday night ..... I feel like Lola from the Copa Cabana!

aoiikristi · #13 06-18-2005, 03:55 PM

Hey--when are we all going to try and meet up?
I've been pretty quiet on here for awhile, but I am really looking forward to convention this year!
Need to shop, and I've been out of town so much that I haven't had a chance!

What about Wednesday night after candlelighting? That way we can all put faces and names together as early as possible.

K--I just got word that they're still taking Taste of the Peach/Mary Mac's Tea House tour reservations up through the start of Convention! Are you still interested in that one?

aoiikristi · #15 06-19-2005, 11:56 AM

That sounds good. I got an email saying I'm supposed to be a participant in it (I hope for my chapter!).
Is anyone else going to the Fred Crane presentation on Friday?
Sorry, I'm such a sucker for all things GWTW, sometimes I think I really should have been born here (snowlady I know you are laughing at me now!).
Also--do we know who is singing or whatever for the memorial service?
