I am Wave 3! This will be my second time to NC and I am psyched about the trip. Plan on seeing a little bit more of Chicago than last year. Last year was my first time and it was amazing.
 
I'm in the third wave :) I was pretty much on my own last year, my first year, even had the hotel room to myself which wasn't to bad LOL I can't imagine not going to conference :) Thank goodness for conference club :) Was looking at flights already and still at $350+ round trip from the NH :( Hopefully that will go down the closer we get.
 
I'm wave 3 and haven't been to conference in years. I'm so excited!
 
I am in Wave 3, too. This will be my fourth year, and the first three were all Wave 1. It will be hard to wait, but I will.
 
I am also in Wave 3! Can't wait!!!

there are atleast 20 coffee stands between the mall & the hospital.


or maybe more.
 
I'm in Wave 3. I had to leave the CS Meet N Greet even before Susan. Mine was a food issue, though. We had weird food stories last year.

I think more!
 
I'm wave 3 unless the new career plan promotes my senior director. :) Then I guess it may change, but who knows.

I would love to say that my goal is to walk but that was my goal two years ago & the year before that... lol!

Can't wait!
 
See you there! This will be my first NC:chef:

I never made it to the meet n greet LOL I was there but in the restaurant and went to let everyone know I was still waiting on my food and didnt see anyone. While I was eating I realized I lost my cell phone and had to track back to the Palmer House and didn't find it all to find I had left it in the cab on the ride over. Luckily the cabbie had it when I called my number and returned it to me :)
 
I am Wave 3 and WILL BE walking as Director!!
 
Wave 3.

Never been.

Very excited.

Nervous.

Going alone!

Unless I convince my recruit and my recruiter to go!

You probably know this but it is cheaper to fly out of Boston (unfortunately... I hate Logan!) I am always watching fights from Manchester to MN and they have been over $250 for 2 years. If you do Travelocity they nitify you when flights go up and down.
 
I am in Wave 3 but can not go this year. I am disappointed. I have been to 2 NC so far, and loved them. Last year it rained the whole time we were there but still fun..
 
I'm in wave 3 with the rest of y'all and I'm hoping to have at least 2 of my recruits with me and I am planning on walking as Director this year!!!
