OH Event-Who's coming? What to do?

Hi Andrea--Thanks for the link and info--I guess we needed the girl from Nebraska to show us Florida people the way around. Look forward to firming up the plans and meeting you--and everyone else of course Friday the 24th.

Andrea, thank you for this post DN @ GOAL

Amy--Charlie and I ended up getting a room at the Amerisuites also. Good deal.

Hi, I really want to attend this and I am free on that weekend but with gas so high, i'd really like to find someone to split the gas cost and even split the cost of a room with if they want to stay overnight. I live in Jacksonville and don't mind driving but it would be better with someone along for the drive. No smokers please. Anyone interested ? Terri

Terri-That sounds great. I notice on another link a lady from Jax who said whe was coming. Her profile link is http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=H1086221907 her post was under the June 25 post from a page ago. Her name is Lois Maybe you could email her--or I am sure there will be other Jax people coming too. Look forward to meeting you.

I just booked my room. The hotels/motels are filling up fast. We will be at The Sleep Inn near Universal. Another "Roo" buddy and I in the same support group are sharing a room. It has 2 double beds, nothing fancy.. BUT... If someone hesitates to come to this conference because they can't afford full price on a room... we will share! We all need this conference.. We are staying over Friday and Saturday. Plans other than the conference for us are up in the air.. there is a BBW dance, Ripley's museum, City Walk, watching people bungee jump.. so many things to do on International Drive... See you all there! ~Tina~ -167

Hi Lynda and All, I will be at the Doubletree from mid afternoon the 24th to the 26th. My DH is coming along and hopes to hang with his college buddy . I chose the Doubletree because I am pre op and have great difficulty walking. Sure wish I could party at City Walk but I think my walking days are going to be post op. I look forward to meeting all of you as I find you to be truly inspirational! Laurie I

Hey Laurie--I'll look forward to meeting you. Most of us were in the same position as you at one time--not able to get around much. There is hope.

Laurie, I can't wait to meet you. I know what you mean about walking that's understandable. Look forward to hanging out with you for some of the time. Amy
