That's a good price because I paid $401 (including tax) HNL-LAX. Because I'm flying in a day early and staying a few days after I wasn't included in the Delta Sigma/Hawaii contingent.

I fly out on the 20th, arrive first thing the 21st...will pick up the rental while I wait for Maria, Nicole, and Marissa -- and then off to Pasadena for the night. We'll be taking turns driving on the 22nd!

My registration (with the $50 discount YAY!) was sent yesterday...flights booked...no turning back now.

Now if only the others would get theirs finalized I'd feel a lot better!

Since Conv't 2006 is so close, I guess you all aren't doing tshirts... I was hoping for a new one! My surfer and hula squirrels are looking a little shabby. Let me know!

LOL, no, not this year...sorry. But if hawaiiagd and her biz partners want a new project you'll be the first to know! I'm not too sure how many collegians are attending, and usually the $$$ we make is used to send them on "scholarship". I think this time around we'll have more alumnae attending.

I'll try to find out if the collegians will be placing another order soon, and I'll let you know what I find out!

Got the neato Convention e-Newsletter just now! I love the descriptions of the workshops...and I'm interested in attending one of the first ones at 10am. I wonder if the girls are gonna be willing to wake up early?

Seriously, we get great deals from the Marriott, and I'm so glad that IHQ's had a great relationship with them. As far as accomodations go, they've been nothing but top rate. I remember one night in Chicago averaged over $200 for one night and we scored back then, too! I especially enjoyed my Concierge Level super room overlooking the river.

I hope IHQ continues to use the Marriott for future conventions.

The food...on the other hand...could use some work. LOL

Hello friends - best wishes for a great Convention! We use Marriott quite a bit too. I think they are quite "Greek friendly."

Alice Sheets Marriott (wife of J. Willard) and both of their daughters-in-law (wives of J.W., Jr. & Richard) were all Chi Omega initiates at University of Utah.

Here's Alice's story -- quite a woman.

If it's anything like when Maria, Marissa and I went to Chicago, I'll probably have already worked out and showered by that time with Maria and Marissa like groaning in my direction.

What time do you arrive at LAX on the 21st?

What time do you think you'll leave the hotel on the 25th to get to LAX for your 4 pm flight?

How many of you are in one rental car already?

(wondering if there could be room for me... )
