*hugs* Thanks for the schedule. Have reduced the size down to one page, printed it and put it with my airline and con e-tickets.

(And is it my imagination or is the cocktail party starting earlier this year?) Will be different being split between 2 floors for talks and pix/autos, but will make it all the more interesting, yes?

And Sky... you've already got me to thinking about their breakfast buffet again! Just to bring it up again - Friday/Saturday/Sunday's breakfast is included in the room rate? (Will have to figure out about Thurs/Monday.... Could bring *coughs hard* chocolate chip cookies... Hey... they'd make it through checked luggage just fine...And what better way to start the day???!)

I'm gonna try to bring some too. I'll be making a bunch of them (and others) for a semster end Bible Study Fun Night. Our version of a cake walk, but for college folks - so no whole cakes needed.

Any extra room can just be used for gifts for the folks back home.

(Don't look at the time )

If you folk are still doing the Peanut Butter/Blue Jello thing, I found a pound shop (dollar store) that was having a closing down sale and picked up some paper napkins and plastic teaspoons at a ridiculous price. I will be going to Costco before the event, do you want me to pick up some plastic cups for the jello? Not a problem - they come in packs of 100 or 200 (can't remember which). I can use what doesn't get used at home. ( Not sure if that's good grammar - but it's late and well past my beddy-bye time.)

Night Night kids.

Not your imagination. Yes the cocktail party starts a wee bit earlier this year.

Yes, it's going to be a nice change to be split between the two floors - more varied!

See you guys soon.

Ooh very nice! Thank you Julia! Seeing the schedule in black and white makes it seem all that much closer.

*sighs in relief* I thought I was missing my tickets as well since I registered so late. Thanks again.

On a side note, I went out the other day and bought my adapter and converter for all my electrical dohickeys, a padded case for my lappy so I could stuff it into my backpack and a few other small things. Later this week I'm going to be purchasing my bus tickets to/from the airport too. My, things are getting exciting now.

Sadly, I couldnt find a red top. Red is just not in season (at least where I live) and the ones I did find were just too ghastly or casual for me to think of wearing them for the disco. I did find another that I liked so I suppose I'll just stick out a bit more...hehe. Ah well.

just put a red ribbon in your hair.

seriously, only half the attendees wear the colors, so you won't stand out

red ribbon in my hair...hehe. I had a mental image of a demure school girl in pigtails when you said this.

I'm fine. I did want to find something red so I could join in on the fun theme, but seriously I've stood out plenty of times before for various reasons and I don't mind whatsoever. Anyway, I know once the liquor starts to flow nobody will be able to tell what color your wearing as everything will begin to be a blur.

[SWMBOTGSG]

As Julia said, I will be sending out the E tickets this week. It will take me several days, so don't panic if somebody says they have theirs and yours hasn't arrived yet.

I will notify you here when I have sent them all. - Then you can panic if it hasn't arrived!

If you have changed your email address since you registered and haven't told me - do so now. If you did tell me, then I have changed the register. Please don't inundate me with emails until after I have sent them all out.
