Ladies, maybe you should invite Tom to attend -- he could be honorary "Squirrel Man" or something!

I've booked my room! I had to call yesterday to re-book, because the reservations desk rep (which is apparently a call center) I spoke with the first time round had NO IDEA who Alpha Gamma Delta is!

So I'm now confirmed under the group $99 rate and will be arriving on the evening of Wednesday, June 21.

See you there!!

I went to my travel plans on Expedia to copy and send to my Rec. Advisor who will be meeting us at LAX.

They keep changing the plans...now they have us leaving 2 HOURS before we were scheduled to! I don't know if they are going to change us back once more.

My Pres is in Mexico and won't be back until June 6th so we may have to wait and see when she gets back to coordinate plans.

I got an email yesterday from America West saying that my travel times have changed. I haven't had a chance to call them yet to find out what the changes are.

I got an email from American Airlines also saying my plans have changed. I am not sure what the change was though.

I have the opportunity to go to Switzerland this summer, which means that my Convention plans might have to be changed. The trip is mid July to the end of July, so basically it means that if I go to Convention, I'll only have two weeks back in Toronto. What should I do? I called IHQ and they told me that the last day to pull out is Monday.

So what are you going to do in Toronto?

Do you want to wait 2 years to see us?

On the topic of the planes..that's wierd, maybe all the airlines got together and said "Let's see how many squirrels we can make nuts!"

There are actually only a couple airlines that fly into Palm Springs and often, when you book through a different airline, you end up on one of the affiliates. So, even if it's booked through American, it might still be America West's flight, etc. Mine actually says the flights in and out of Palm Springs is on Mesa airlines, on a Canadian airbus. I didn't get a chance to call today either, but from looking at their website, it looks like mine have only changed by a few minutes. Looking at seating, there aren't a whole lot more seats left either!

...because I've just been hired for a new job (well, it was originally because of Europe, but now that I have this job, even Europe might not be happening), I've decided not to go to Convention

.

I'll try to make it for 2008.

Have a great time squirrels!

AGDee · #**160** 05-25-2006, 01:42 PM

I am amazed how fast time is flying!

AGDLynn · #**161** 05-25-2006, 07:03 PM

Yeah, I know,

Got my hair cut and colored but I will may get it cut a little more right before.

Bought a new swimsuit which I needed anyway, but I'm not too sure I'll have much time to use it, except for maybe Wed, lol.

Need to go buy a new carry on luggage; my zippers keep getting stuck and/or coming apart.

Just thinking about Convention.

Have y'all been making plans of who to sit with at FoR??

Don't know how many of y'all remember Kalina..she's our Rec. Spec. She's emailed about 3 different chapters (can't remember who all, lol.) about us 10 sitting together

We'll give her our tix when see her at the hotel.

In past years, I sat with the collegians and advisors from my Province (except Alpha Alpha, because they always sit with all the AAs). I'm not sure what I'll do this year. I'll probably sit with the Zeta Alpha's at least.

Last Convention was kind of strange because so many women from my alumnae club were there. I'm used to rotating around, sitting with all different people and meeting lots of new sisters. They always wanted to sit altogether, so I don't feel like I met as many people. This time though, I'm rotating!

I also need a bathing suit for Wednesday. It's definitely the only day I'll be able to use it, but I definitely want to use it. What time do you expect to arrive on Wednesday, Lynn?

AGDLynn · #**164** 05-25-2006, 10:07 PM

Flight is supposed to arrive at LAX around 10:10. Not sure about how long it will take to get to PS but hopefully before 3.

I have nationwide long distance so I can call you, lol.

AGDee · #**165** 05-26-2006, 06:55 AM

I'm getting to the Palm Springs airport a little after 11, so I'll be there first for sure. Just look for me at the pool

(Do you still have my cell number from last time?)
