Okay, for any of you following the "light jacket or sweater" saga.............

My friend let me borrow two of hers!!! WOO HOO! Now you can all relax because the poor California girl who wouldn't stop complaining about not being able to find a sweater in July just had her problem solved!

Hey I am not doing much better than you...... this poor Oregon girl is use to really cool weather living on the Oregon coast, I had to remind myself three times that my PC sweater would be plenty...... I am trying to scale my weight down on my suitcase this year!!!!! Hopefully I have done it good enough that I can carry my luggage!!
 
Good luck! I haven't even started packing yet so we'll see how the weight of my suitcase goes. This is my 1st conference so I have the "gotta pack everything" syndrome.

Four outfits for me this year!!! and I have room to spare... well until I was reminded that on Saturday night we are all craming into a room because of our roomies isn't' coming in until Sunday... so I have to bring a twin size air mattress I don't' know how I am going to blow the dang thing up ........ :rolleyes: Oh well I haven't slept on twin size anything since I was 14 years old!!! ROFL!!!!
 
My luck I will literally roll on the floor laughing because I rolled off the air mattress in the middle of the night!!!

Is your room so small that you couldn't request a roll-away bed? I would much rather pay for a r/a bed than lug an air mattress only to wonder how to blow it up - I mean I know us cheffers have enough hot air to fill a mattress or two but waist that air on the HO tour bus!!
