LBT in Vegas FEB '08



Recommended Posts

"Interested in a gathering" established that Vegas is the destination of choice for LBT to meet.

So it's going to happen in Feb next year.

I'm thinking the first weekend of the month.

Chimboree are you still on board for helping coordinate this? Lori Ann? Others?

We can work as a group to set the details and get this ball ROLLING!

I'm started to recruit volunteers to organize this event. Send me an email at juligirl01@sbcglobal.net

Mark your calendars for February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

If you have a favorite place to stay in Vegas and want to suggest it, please tell us on this thread.

If there is a "MUST DO" activity you think would fit the group, add that as well.

Thanks everyone!

I'm definitely interested!!!

Based on location and price, I can recommend Bally's, Flamingo or Harrah's. If you want more upscale then Paris or Mirage. If you're not worried about location and more interested in value, then I'd suggest Luxor or Golden Nugget. The Luxor or Bally's is probably a good choice based on all factors considered. If folks will be bringing their kids along, I'd suggest New York New York.

I do know from previous calls that the Harrah's chain (which includes Ballys, Paris and Caesar's Palace & others ?) requires 21 rooms for a block. Otherwise you get the usual prices as found online.

Consider me there! :whoo: I can also help with arrangements if and when you need me. My recommendation on where to stay would be Bally's. It's reasonably priced and centrally located. Although, since we probably won't be doing much sleeping or spending time in the room, we could go even cheaper, and then I'd suggest The Gold Coast.

Hey Planner People

Thanks for the emails!

I'll create a group after a few days so we'll all be talking to each other.

I'm looking for us to all get into a chat room next week Monday night to wrap our hands around this.

I can do anywhere from 7-10 pm EST. Tell me what works for you. I could do later on Tuesday too.

Thanks,

Juli

I have your email on my list! I'll be sending out a group email on Sunday. I'm waiting until then to see how many more volunteers pop up. Though we have 6 already! Which is amazing.

I expect we'll be a group of 30-50 people, including spouces...easily we can get a block of rooms.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
