Several folks are coming solo. Don't let that stop you, we will all be there to support and encourage each other.

We hope to see you there!!

Which Wyndham Hotel is it? Do you have an address? I am trying to book my things online and need an address for the hotel where the conference is going to take place. Thanks.

My husband and I are coming to the conference and I am very excited. Completed our registration, think I got it right, I asked the husband "are you gonna dance with me?", he says "Hold up nobody said anything about no dancing." LOL. We live in Odessa Texas, about a 5 1/2 hour drive, not bad. See ya'll there.:confused:

Hey Rhonda,

I received your registration and you are good to go.

Pssst we will get your husband on the dance floor with you, don't you worry about that :confused:

I am looking forward to meeting you and watching your husband tear up the dance floor *LOL*.

Are we for sure going to have a clothing exchange? I have TONS of clothes I have been saving for this event! I am just wondering how it will work. Should we bring the clothes in boxes - or on hangers?

I am so excited! I am coming without my husband - but with a new friend! One of the local gals from this board is going to carpool and share a room with me! I am so excited. I can't wait!

Hurricane Ike didn't slow us down!

We sure are. I have a closet full of clothes I will be bringing with me. If you can bring the clothes on hangers that would be wonderful.

I am so glad Ike didn't slow you gals down.

I can't wait to meet you!!

I just registered - I am coming alone. I won't be banded until January, so I'm really hoping to learn a lot!
