I am still trying to get DH convinced to let me go! Anyway, I was trying to see if I could register online an I can't find a link. Am I missing it somewhere????? Guess I will just have to mail it in.
 
I think you may have to fax it now so they can process it by hand since most of registration is done.

I don't know if you can still register online or not, but the link would be on that page if you could. I already registered adn there was no registration link for me, but there was a Registration form I could print and mail or fax.
 
I thought I saw on there that all registration now was on-site at McCormick Place. Not sure though.

thought I saw the same thing! Good luck!
 
I just called H.O. to find out about registration and we do have to register on-site now. Also, if you register on-site and want to do a home office tour, you'll have to wait in a stand-by line and see if there are any openings.

I again called HO as I wanted to know what payment options we had if we register on site and it is the same as if we would mail it in or fax it in (PC Debit/PC Credit/personal check/money order).

The only thing holding me back from going now is finding someone to watch my twins are our house. My friend will watch them but wants to do it at her house and she does not feel comfortable driving with other peoples kids in a car. She lives about 20-25 minutes from our house and DH doesn't want to drop the kids off there and pick them up each day (I am a SAHM). My mom is currently camping until Wednesday and will ask if she can get vacation time for those days. I also just emailed another friend whose daughter is 3 days younger than my twins if she can watch them at my house so will see what I find out. My sister consultant is holding a spot for me in her room but she wants to find another person so we have 4 people and she called me this afternoon and 2 people want the spot. UGH! Anyway, but she knows what I am trying to do. The other thing is airfare is starting to get really expensive and flights are limited.

yeah pretty much - I thought it was the money DH was holding back on but it is childcare. I have a friend that said she would watch them but he would have to drive to their house everyday to take the twins there and then pick them back up (it is about 20-25 minutes from our house) after work. He said that does not sound fun and does not want to do it. My DH is very stubborn! ugh! I so hate men somedays! LOL!
 
Well you can tell him..... that he just might have much of a choice in the matter... LOL
