Leadership hotelsDoes anyone know what hotels P.C. is using and the cost? I can get into the Website to register for a hotel room but then it tells me that I have an invalid number?????

Is anyone using other hotels and if so, how far are they from Duke and cost.

Thanks,

Karen
 
I had the same trouble and then it finally let me in.
The Hyatt is $125 and I think the millenium was $115.
 
I'm at the Hyatt for $125 plus tax... so it will be about $146 per night after tax.
 
I'm at the Hyatt too.
 
I'm at the Millennium - my director is there, too.

I'll keep trying. Anyone care to share why the chose the hotel that they did?Karen
 
All the directors in our cluster decided on the Hyatt. It seems to be close. We looked at all 3 online and felt they were all nice.

I just realized that if you view the board as a newbie- the first thread you see is Fitness, and that we dont have an intro thread for telling each other Who we are and What we are all about. So here it is. I can't move fitness to somewhere else, but I hope people will check it out and tell us all about yourselves.

I will start. I am 35 (and okay with that fact). I have 3 sons- ages 13, 10 and 1. I am a PC consultant and have been for 10 years. I am also a music teacher- I teach privately in my living room. I teach the youth Sunday School class at church. Other than that, I play trumpet in a band every Thursday night. I used to play in more bands, but that was before the 1 year old came along. I live in Canada and have been married for 4 years to a man from Chile.

Hello friday! I will introduce myself... My name is Angela, I am 30, and I live in Southern Maine. I am a Stay AT Home Mom for my two daughters which are 21 months and 3 years old. I am a PC consultant to make extra money and to be able to stay at home with my children. As you can tell by the number of my posts I have, I am quite the chatterbox... :D I have met and become quite fond of the people on this site. They have been very supportive to me and my business. And it is due to the relationships that I have formed on this site that I will not be leaving anytime soon! ;)
 
Me me!!! LOL
My name is Erin and I will be 35 in February (PS..I LOVE my 30's!). I have been married to the love of my life for almost 13 years. DH is an Officer in the US Marine Corps...so we move quite often. We have 4 children (15, 11, 7 and 5)..the oldest is my son that I share with his mother, and we have Ollie, our 2 yo chocolate lab. I have been with PC for 5 years in January and at this point I am not sure what to call it...not a hobby and not a job.
Oh....and I am wicked cool.

I'm Jennifer, 33, married for a little over 3 years. We have full custody of my 10-year-old stepdaughter and we're pet parents to our crazy lab mix, Ripley.I work in a bank, and have sold PC as a hobby for over a year. I'm a big, big bookworm - 200 books so far this year. I'm a total computer nerd as well. My coworkers call me "Dilbert."I love random trivia and off-the-wall sayings and I love just springing either of them on people at the oddest times.I'm also quite possibly the biggest klutz you will ever meet!

I sure hope so. The blue stuff was sure sticky for me. So I am hopeful that this gift of baby dust is sticky.

You need to chat with our boardmate Carissidy. She LOVES trivia and would give you a run for your money in the klutz department I think. (Hi Carissidy :D)

That is too funny! If they could only see you now!
 
Your class had a "Class Klutz" designation? How funny-cool! :)In band, we had mock awards at our end-of-the-year banquet every year. I won the "Happy Wanderer" award three years in a row - it was for the person who got lost the most during marching band.

Uh.... how.... how do you get lost while marching WITH the band? I taught marching bands for several years and the image this brings up in my head is funny, but hard to understand....
