How do we find out our room assignment?

Myself and the Chapter Alternate had requested a 4 person room - we listed each other as roommates, and put "no preference" for the other 2 people. But we both got emails stating that though we had requested a 4 person room, they were only able to put us in a 2 person room. I'm guessing we signed up too late to get the 4 person room. If you havent heard differently from what you signed up for, I'm assuming you got what you requested.

I really hated it that there are not going to be 4 people to a room. But I found out that the hotel is not allowing quad only singles and doubles. Why? I don't know.

To get more money of course. Why allow 4 people to stay in the room for the same price as 2 people when you can force em all to pay the same rate? I think it's really crappy that supposedly headquarters worked out the deal for us, gave us the info, and we registered, and then, if what you're saying is true, the hotel pulled the good deal out from under our feet. As small as my chapter is, we would have really benefitted from only having to pay half the price that we're gonna be forced to pay now.

It's Convention week! I'm so excited. I've already started packing. Mr. AXiD670 and I bought him a new pair of pants today to wear to dinner one night, so when y'all see him Wednesday or Thursday night, make sure to whistle at him (he's self-conscious; he's afraid they hug his behind too much

).

I'm just so stressed out -- I have to get some extra hours in at work before we leave, and I have to get my school supplies, and I have to do some more shopping! But I'm still super-excited.

See everyone Wednesday!!!

This is the funniest thing I've read in weeks! He's REALLY going to be self-conscious with random women whistling at him! Especially when there's hardly any men around and he figures out you told everyone he's worried about his butt!

LOL! I can't stop cracking up!!! Love it!!!

Just one more day. I can hardly wait.

AZ-AlphaXi · #54 06-28-2005, 01:13 PM

Well I'm off in about an hour to start picking people up at the airport ... I'm more than ready to get this show on the road ...

Looking forward to seeing everyone before dinner tomorrow night...

Just wanted to let you'all know that convention is going very well.

This morning, the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation will award a $10K Choose Children grant to a very deserving group, The Parent Connection.

Hi Ladies,
For those of you at Convention....it was great putting a face to a screen name! Lovely to meet you all! Back in town now, but of the three Conventions I've been to, this has been one of the most enjoyable. Thanks the Tucsan AA and FHQ for hosting an amazing Convention!!!
-Trish!

Home now! Already missing seeing letters and sisters everywhere. It didn't take me long to get used to it. This week was absolutely amazing. I laughed, cried, had fun, and felt sad.....too many emotions happening to keep track of. I made new friends, visited with old ones, and had a wonderful time.

If you didn't go, you can have no idea what you missed. It's indescribable. All I can say is that is would have been worth your time and money.

Now I will start saving for 2007...Indianapolis, here I come!!!!!!

I just got home. We got delayed in Denver and had to wait forty-five minutes to pick up our baggage here in Charlotte. On the plus side, there was no one waiting at the gate, so we got free parking!

I had so much fun! It was great to meet everyone from GC. For some reason, no one was as I had pictured them.

flirt5721 · #59 07-04-2005, 07:02 PM

It was really nice meeting some of you. This was my first Convention and I'm already planning to go to the next one. Thanks to Tucson AA and everyone at HQ for a great convention. I had so much fun and it was really great to see that Paige recieved the Alum award we nominated her for.

quillogold · #60 07-04-2005, 07:30 PM

Hey everyone!

I was at Convention! I wish I would have know that you guys were going to be meeting up. That would have been fun. I had so much fun at Convention! The break out sessions were the best part....
