Mercynursie....

Im so excited that you are going along with us!! Woo hoo...this is going to be so much fun ladies!! :)  There is plenty of room for you to ride along with us.  So far I have Me, Carolia, and Carol B riding along.  I have room for 3-4 more passengers if anyone else wants to ride along!! :)  Oh, I think maybe Cheryl from Mt Pleasant is riding along too.  Is that right Cheryl?? :)  Havent heard from Michelle to see if she is going to ride with us or has other arrangements to get there but I heard from her last night and she said she is planning on going too!!

Also, for anyone with reservations already or planning to make some, Carol and I decided that we are going to go on Friday instead of Thursday.  It sounds like the only thing going on in the afternoon on Friday is the clothing exchange from 2-5pm.  Then there are some other activities in the evening.  So we thought if we leave Friday morning we can be there in plenty of time to still get in on the exchange and have plenty of time to check in and get around for the event that evening.  Check in isnt until 4pm, but it should all work out! :)  I need to call still and cancel my Thursday evening, but this way it will save us money too on hotel rooms.  And carpooling will save us all on gas as well, so it should be a pretty cheap weekend with the exception of food.  It sounds like there are 3-4 resturants in the hotel also...but im assuming they are pricey!!??

Anyways, thats my input for now, LOL.  Keep in touch on this!

Hi Jenn,
Yes I was planning on riding along too as long as you got room.  It looks like Carol B and I will be sharing a room. I am ok with dropping Thursday night as well since there is not much going on till Friday PM.  I got to cut this short tonight.  Talk to you later.

Jenn -

That's great news about it not starting until Friday.   Count me in on caravaning or car pooling with you.    I was concerned that I'd be coming in LATE on Thursday and wouldnt' be able to go with you.    But if you aren't leaving until Friday I should be able to get to IA city and meet up with you from there.

I wish you could go, Sunny but I understand how it is.  You can be there with us in spirit and we'll let you know how it was.  Hopefully there will be more events like this close.............who knows, maybe one day they'll actually plan one in Des Moines!!!

I am excited to go and REALLY excited that so many of us are able to go.  There is still time if anyone is thinking of going. 

Carol
