Anyone want to go to Chicago

Jenn, I'll gladly split the room with you and whatever number of nights we need to stay there is fine with me.  I'm just excited to go to such a spectacular event.  So you can count on me to room with you for sure.  I'm going to get my reservation for the event too so that I get a spot.  Did you do that yet?

So looking forward to going and hope others will go too.  C'mon girls.........let's do this one together just like we support each other here.  It'll be an opportunity we can't miss!

Carol

Alright Carol,

We got the room and I got my registration in too, so were all set to go!! Cant wait!!! Woo Hoo...I hope someone else is going to call soon and get a room reserved also!! Keep us informed!!

I'm in.   I've registered and made a hotel reservation.

Jody

Yayyyyyyy, Jody!  This is going to be so much fun!  :-)

Awesome Jody!!! Im so excited to go!! Are you going to carpool with us or do you have other transportation arrangements? What area are you from?  Sorry I dont remember....Des Moines is it?

Anyone else get registered yet too??

~Jenn

Hi Jody,

Im sorry if Ive already asked you this, are you wanting to ride along with us, meet up somewhere and carpool? Just making sure that I know who all is riding along so I dont tell too many people ya, we have room.  I have 2-3 seats open still, depends on how comfortably we want to ride :D.  Let me know! Sorry if Ive already asked! :>)

I'd be coming from Des Moines area  - I'm up for car pooling and meeting you in Iowa City.   Only unknown right now is work and how much of the Thursday I need to spend there.     So if you get enough people to fill up your seats - that's okay - go for it.   I'm going to need to be flexible until we get closer to the date - but either way if possible I'd like to meet up with you all at the conference,  car pool if it works out.

(Sorry for not getting back sooner - I've just been swamped at work and overscheduled at home lately)

I bought my ticket!!! Jody are you interested in sharing a room? Also thinking ahead if we are all car pooling maybe meet in IA city??  I know it is early but for planning wise what is everyone thinking of timewise on Thursday?  Need to know if I need to ask for the full day off or just partial.  This should be fun.  My first girls get away in over 6 years since I have been married :*)

We are going to have so much fun and just think how much information we'll come home with.  I am going to mention it at the support group at UIHC on Tuesday and we'll see if others want to join us.  If there's anyone reading on the forum here, come along if you're interested.  I don't think you'll be sorry.

As for meeting point, it might be good to see whose going and from where and then find a central location for all of us to meet at and either carpool or caravan to Chicago.  I'm thinking we'll need to leave about noon but I'm not driving so I don't want to say for sure.  Kind of depends on check in time at the hotel, I would guess.  What does everyone else think?  Like I said, I am not driving so it's really up to those who are driving.

I'm excited and it's still a few months away but I really think it'll be an awesome event.  So glad you are all going!

Carol

Check in at the hotel is at 4pm.  I think noonish sounds good to me.  But again, we have plenty of time to figure all of these Minor details out for you!!

Carol, do you want to share your info about the Iowa group at the convention?? If not, you can share at a later time. :)  Im glad everyone is going too!

Ms_jj....are you going.....we havent heard from you in a while????
