I FINALLY booked my flight today.
I really meant to book it earlier but for a while, I wasn't sure if I would be able to attend due to all this work stuff going on (i.e. layoffs) but I'm tired of putting it off. I was able to book a round-trip flight for $268! You can't beat that so I jumped at the opportunity.
Now I have to register. I was hoping a fellow advisor & friend would be able to attend so we could room together but she can't go.

Boo!
I think I'll go ahead & register and just be surprised with who my roommate(s) will be.
