Yes! We'll be there! Is there a time? We get in early :o) I need to go do the rest of the laundry. I hear weather is a high of 50 and low of ummm 50. Jeans adn sweaters it is! So when they say "t-shirt day" do we bring our own or will they give us one?

Ginny,

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure I'll be packing at about the same time. . .:o

My husband wondered if the t-shirts will be tie-dye (is that how you spell this?). On the cruise last year we got lime green ones (one of my favorite colors) and Key West was covered with our shirts. Of course, it was warm enough there to see them.:)
 
Yeah, my director says that its strange that they're giving us T-Shirts. SHe said in the past,they give out Sweatshirts so those are widely visible. Oh well! I can't wait regardless!!!

Yeah true!
 
Let me tell you we are getting a cold spell right now. Yesterday was so windy, then it would rain for five mins. then sunny for five. I would definitely pack layers, someone that it would be funny and took our warm weather away. You guys have fun in San Fran!!!
 
You guys have a great time! If you see my director, Dawn Lolla, pretty lady with red hair, tell her I said, "Hi!" and that you're one of my CS buddies! She loves the info I get from this site! LOL To see what she looks like her PWS is /showgirl.
