not to jump ahead of this year... but since I won't be going

... where do you think the next one will be? I think it should be in Louisville or Lexington next!!!! Go see the horses and think about all the bourbon tours we could go on!

My vote is for the Boston Marriott Copley since it's, you know, within walking distance from my condo!

I think we should do the Delta Sigma girls a favor and not make them travel so far next time.....

I vote for the next convention in Hawaii!!! (i know there would be NO ONE at any of the business meetings!)

We have the Waikiki Beach Marriott fronting the water in Waikiki and we also have the Ihilani Resort (also a Marriott) on the west side of the island, that's where the Pro Bowlers stay. I'm SURE we could pull it off!

I was looking at the list of past Conventions and it seems like we've been everywhere!

Side note..hey Wen, will Cari and Lori be at this Convention as well?

Wow! We didn't even know she was pregnant! Give her a big hug for me! Yay for her legacy!

What about San Antonio ????? Chi Omega had their last convention there. I am completely jealous ! What a great city to visit. So many things to do, and all within walking distance. They have an incredibly huge convention center and tons of hotels next to it. The Riverwalk area is great. Other than being pretty darn hot in the summer time (as if the desert will be cool ????), I don't see a down side to San Antonio !!!

So who all is actually going?

I know for sure it's myself, greeklawgirl, squirrely_girl, mu_agd, AGDee, agdlynn, winnieb, and agd4rie.

Am I missing anyone else? Cynthia, are you going this year?

Dee, our flight is SUPPOSED TO

get to LAX about 11:30 am on Wed.

My car is SUPPOSED TO

fit 5 people and luggage but right now there are 4 of us. I think that the 2 collegiates will have enough stuff for that 5th person

MAILED IN MY CONF REGISTRATION TODAY!!

I already had a very cute stamp on the envelope (they are doing cartoons, so I used 39 cents Maisie with a crown and wand!). I had to stick in some papers b/c the inactive Alum Chapter is paying for me

. When I went to have it weighed, it was about 30cents not enough. All I had was a $1 stamp so I put it on, lol. Saved me a trip to the PO.

It's great to be able to use alum. chapter funds to pay for the CA to go to Convention or TLC. It pays for the plane trip to LAX but not the rental car from LA to PS, lol. Oh well.. I'll worry about that tomorrow!

BTW, I called the hotel to get an approx. price including tax.

1 night = $108.32 approx.

Alrighty! The more I thought about it, though the price is more attractive to fly into LAX, the logistics of getting a flight on Sunday at a time that is reasonable is a problem anyway. I'm going to end up flying into PSP. If I have to take a taxi to the airport after the 1 pm workshops, I'm sure there will be others to split that fee with!

My luggage will probably be enough for two also. After my nightmare train experience to Chicago though, I will pack more lightly. I had actual bruises from my garment bag strap...

AGDLynn · #**118** 02-25-2006, 01:16 PM

Something tells me that 1 shuttle leaving at 1 pm won't be enought, lol.

Dee..what about announcing at IRD and/or sending out a PDC/AC/CHAPTERS emai that y'all should try to book flights/cars together?

We got the room and flight taken care of, the only thing left is sending in the registration. I'm the only person in our group not attending in an "official" capacity, so I'm sending it in myself.

Is anyone else looking into a spa package?

I was looking at the spa packages the other day. Very very tempting, I must say.
