Rae -- I came to this post like 3 times yesterday to see if you updated it :) I always look forward to seeing it.

I was tempted to toss the day in as your pinch hitter or something, but I realized that I could never fill your shoes.

Just think of all the great Cheffers you'll get to see!
 
When is everyone getting in? I think part of my cluster (including me) will be getting there Wednesday afternoon. I'll also have Thursday morning free, unless I magically promote to director by July 1st. The two people that I'm going with are going to be on the HO tour (my recruit) and the director's training (my director).
 
I'm getting in Wednesday at 11:00 am at O'Hare. My director is also getting in @ the same time so we'll go the hotel together. I"m so excited to go!!!!:D
 
I think we're getting there Wednesday evening. I also don't have anything to do in the morning. My director will be at the event & the others going are taking the HO tour.
 
I will be there the day before conference. I am soooooo excited. I think we are all going to be doing something as a group. There are 9 of us going as of right now.
 
I'm getting there Wednesday morning (staying at the hilton) to do some sight seeing and SHOPPING with my extended cluster family before we all split up and get crazy on Thursday. What does everyone think of meeting up Wednesday night somewhere for a drink and some kareoke (sp?)? Did we discuss this already? If so, will someone please fill me in as 2 hours of sleep and then 6.5 hours of working a garage sale, 2 hours of a meeting, 2 hours of shopping for bathroom necessities (toilets, tile, etc.) has me fried and not quite comprehending anything that I read, see, hear or do... :o :rolleyes: :o
 
We're staying at the Hilton. Can I bring non-CS'ers with me? I'm sure that my recruit would love to do that, not sure about my director, but maybe.

I'll be arriving on Wednesday, probably mid-afternoon. I'm driving in with my director. I'll be on the first HO tour on Thursday morning, so I know I get to meet some of you then.
 
For those at the Hilton, which Hilton?

I was booked at Hilton Chicago but am now at the Palmer House Hilton since they opened up rooms there on Monday.

Many hotel rooms have few convenient electrical outlets. If you're staying 4 to a room, you may want to make sure at least one of you brings along an outlet strip. That way everyone can plug in their cell phone to charge for the night. Also, if the only outlet is under the desk, you'll only have to crawl under there twice (once to plug it in, and once to unplug it) instead of twice a day to plug in and unplug your cell phone.

You might slip a nightlight in, too. You can plug into the outlet strip to help everyone find their way to the potty in the middle of the night.
