Okay,  I asked Kim if she could arrange it so Iowa folks are sitting together and here's what Kim is going to do for us..............we get red dots on our name tags and we just need to look for people with red dots and we'll know they are from Iowa.  We can sit in the same area as long as someone can get in there and save a few spots...............the tables are rounds with eight chairs at each so we can save a couple tables for Iowa people if we know how many are going for sure.

Kim is very accommodating, it sounds like, so ask her whatever questions you have and make your requests known to her.  I think she'll be a good advocate for the Iowa group.

JJ, are you registered yet and planning on going with us?  This was your idea so I hope you'll go with us or at least get there and meet up with us.

The excitement still running high for me over this event.....................how about all of you???

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!

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

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 :*)
