Convention 2004, 100 yrs of AGD: Info Thread

[Taualumna]

YAY Sandy! Can't wait to meet you!

[greeklawgirl]

Convention wouldn't be the same without Sandy!

I'm glad you're coming.

hawaiiagd can tell you about how hard these girls worked selling chili fundraiser tickets, washing cars, Jamba Juice mugs/certificates, and waking up early in the morning for all those garage sales. I'm pretty sure more than 8 will go if the funds are plentiful! When we went to Atlanta, we were able to send 4 collegians. It's nice to see the size double for this one!

I won't know how many of us alums are going, and I probably won't know until IRD next month. No matter what, I know Mary Lou, alumnae president, will want us to do something special for y'all.

...Trying to think of things to do for the free afternoon/evening ALREADY!

For those of you watching airlines prices -- Southwest has some good prices right now!!!
I just booked for $34 each way, from Kansas City!!! Yeah!!!!!

Argh ya'll have it so easy!

Checked the Sunday paper for cheap fares and the cheapest we'll probably get for July from Hawai`i is maybe a little over $500, which is okay considering most online services are quoting over 6.

Super excited because Delta Sigma president, sis-grand, and a bunch of others are staying extra too!

We're always encouraged to mingle out of our own respective chapters/clubs during meals and such. Would it be too much to ask if us GCers could sit together for at least one or two meals? It'll be our own GC AGD Convention!!!

I wouldn't go all the way to Chicago and not hang out with you guys! Count me in.

I thought getting together with the GC AGDs was a foregone conclusion, lol.

I actually hoped that I could get a few sisters (GC or not) to rent a limo for the free evening and hop around the city's nightspots! I don't know when I'll have the chance to visit Chicago again, so I want to do it up BIG!

[Taualumna]

Count me in for Monday night too!

[AGDLynn]

Guess I'll have to go with my roomies!

About sitting together at 1-2 of the meals...we won't all fit, lol. But we can try.

I wouldn't want Monday night any other way! There are a lot of GC Chicago people and others who live within a driving distance *cough*Wisconsin people*cough* who I'm trying to convince to come hang out with us!

I could tell last night that my Delta Sigma collegiate sisters are super ultra excited as well! My bday falls within two weeks or so after convention...but I think it'd be fabulous to celebrate two weeks early with my sisters.

The limo night sounds like an awesome idea. I would love to be included if you're not already full!

I've been browsing around and it looks like we can get limos for 6, 8, 10, or even 24 people!

If you are definitely interested, let me know. Once I know who's interested, I can call around and get a rate for the evening. Maybe I should create a new thread to see who's in?

[squirrely girl]

count me in too!

Trying to book a flight from Honolulu to Chicago on a budget during peak season is as fun as getting your teeth pulled.

But we did it...with the lowest airfare possible. Still, you don't want know how much we paid. We were able to avoid big $$$ just by flying into Chicago Midway instead of O'Hare.

We fly in at 5:30AM in the morning at check-in isn't till 3PM. We'll be starting our shopping early!

I'm glad that's all over....now WE WAIT!

OTW, I'll be there Friday night and will send you my cell number in case you need some space to crash, relax, change, etc.
