Just looking over this thread and had the thought.... I was 8 months pregnant at 1997 Convention. Never, ever was there a better excuse to wear Keds to Feast of Roses! Florida water [pre bottled water craze] + pregnancy = massive water retention in the ankles/feet.

Ah... memories.

So, any news you want to share with us??

Here's hoping that the hotel room will be a flat rate so that the number of people in the room can split the cost.

Here's hoping Delta has an extremely low cost airfare around the time we need to book in order to get the early registration rate.

So, are people thinking about extending their time in San Antonio before Convention or after? Since I'm probably sending one kid to Europe during that time and the other kid will be going to Boy Scout shortly after, I think *I* deserve some extra vacation time in San Antonio too. Time to pamper myself, shop, etc. I've earned it, right?

PS. Lynn, if you don't have a flight but want to turn in your convention registration, you can always let them know your flight info later.

Thanks, Dee. Since I'm the one paying for it next go-around, I can be more selective when making airplane reservations.

Yea, hubby and I have already discussed it. We haven't been back to SA since we left Texas. He is going to start looking for another job soon b/c this one is becoming a REAL drag, lol. But, hopefully, he will be able to take a few days off. If he doesn't, then I'll hang around with whomever's there.

Hey Dr.D, no news yet. You all will be one of the first to know. I just don't know if I were 8 months prego how an 18 hour drive would be... lets just say a lot of stops will have to be made and the rental car would need to have a BIG back seat for naps.

If hubby goes then our return trip might be through Louisiana to see my brother and his family and to show hubby where I grew up.

Out of curiousity, I checked air fares and now they are over $400. No telling how high they will be next spring when we are making reservations.

We can hope for a springtime airfare war?! Such usually happens in late March
