Okay question- so not knowing when we are moving in July or August- IF I register for NC and end up not being able to go am I out the $225 or can I get it back???
 
I'm pretty sure that it can be refunded...but by a certain date. I'm sure it's on CC in the conference section.

Holy Cow 82 days left.....82 days til Conference!!!!!

Today is April 19!!!


Make sure you have a room booked or a spot in a room for you to lay your head down in. Once you have a room, ask questions about your roommates. If there are roomies who snore, you will want some earplugs. You also want to make sure you mesh.

WOO HOO

I just registered. And we have our room. My roomies may be the ones needing earplugs LOL.:blushing: I sometimes snore. I'm pretty sure we'll be ok. I'm rooming with my recruiter, our director and another clustermate. My recruiter and I have roomed in more social settings before and aren't strangers to being bed buddies!! :):p

Thanks for keeping up with this Becky... I can not wait to see you all again........
 
Ok these are tips from wave 3 but I am hoping they do not mind if I just share them with my wave...
Thanks Rae!!!! :chef:

You'll probably only have a few cluster/team meetings between now and NC. Write down anything you want to discuss with your clustermates so you can ask at the meetings. What do they usually do during down time? Do they usually move about as a group or will you be mostly on your own? Do they usually choose expensive restaurants, mid-range meals, or cheap & cheerful cuisine? Your roommates and travel buddies will be good sources of info.
 
I just thought I would pop in and say hello to all my Wave 1 buddies! I am so going to miss seeing everyone this year. :cry::cry: I had such a great time meeting everyone in person last year. However, I will be overcome with joy, with the arrival with a new baby girl a week or two after conference :love::love:, so that is the reason for no traveling for me.

I am posting Rae's tip of the day, maybe I will keep a file this year of all her tips.Start a file. I keep 2 NC files--1 in a manila folder, the other on my computer. This is where I keep all NC materials--confirmations, receipts, lists, etc. I use the computer file for anything I don't want to waste a lot of paper on. The folder is for anything I might want to take with me (like a hotel confirmation).Getting organized now helps me to stay organized all the way through NC.
 
Good tips THANKS!!! I have been going for 3 years now and have not even thought of that. I know I am not as organized as I should be....
