I love my sorors!
Soror AKA_Monet, of course, I would say hello to you if I come to your part of the country! Actually, I've been thinking of going to Washington or Oregon for a weekend trip for a long time so although I probably wouldn't go for my bday b/c I want to "be gone" much longer than a weekend, this sounds interesting. I have heard that BC is extremely beautiful and want to see for myself!

How to get there: Flight into Seattle, stay a day, say hello to me. Then take the Victorian Clipper for a beautiful 3 hours "tour" to the Victorian dock. There stay at either the fancy-smancy Empress, or the one close by with no food, but a great view.

Then, when you are ready to partay, go to Vancouver B.C.

And if you roll over to Abbortford B.C., make sure you go to the Orange Spa...

Well, since you'd be in the neighborhood, you should swing by my neck-of-the-woods. It's beautiful this time of year (wish *I* could be there now...so homesick ). But, save up your cheese. It's tourist season; you know what that means. I'm already "booking" myself as a guide for when sorors come to visit me when I go back.

Soror-number, the regional in your hometown was, sadly, the only one I've missed. I would have loved to go to Alaska but my money wasn't right at the time. Eventually, I do want to make it up there -- heard it was beautiful country.

Ah! I remember when Regionals came to town in 2002 (I wasn't a member then...was tryin', though). I understand about the money situation. Like I said, tourist season *isn't* cheap. And, yes; it IS beautiful country, indeed.
