to Conference. My Director talked me into it. :) I really wanted to go but plane tickets from here are at least $900. I'm going to just catch a military "hop" to the east coast (basically free) and then hook up with a cluster mate who will be on vacation in Kentucky and we're going to drive to Chicago and meet our Director and another (hospitality) consultant there. I'm SO excited!!! I had totally given up.

So, I'll see you at Wave 1!!!
 
Awesome! Wish you were in my wave.
 
That is so cool!! You will LOVE it! I'm so impressed that you're making the trip from overseas. I'm in wave 1, so I'll keep my eyes out for you.:)
 
You're in mine so maybe we can arrange something.

I'm definitely going to have to order my pin from Ann!! And I have no idea where we'll stay. My Director was going to stay some other folks higher up in our upline but now we'll all room together.

Is anyone else under Jeanne Schmelzenbach?
 
I'm in wave 1 too - so looking forward to meeting all of you! Debi - it must be so exciting to know that you will make it after all - you are going to have such a great time!
