Ok, it's my first trip, I need help!

Do we take a later flight out of Nassau (like at 3pm) to avoid the morning mess at the hotel instead of trying to get to the airport earlier?

Anyone flying out of O'Hare? Not sure if they do Midway (I love the smaller airport).

Help!
 
I just registered!!! Let Carson do the planning. If you want to use a certain airline you can. Keep in mind that if you register at the last minute others might get the earlier disirable flights and you might be arriving later. This is really important if you are picky about your seating.

Have fun! Are you Wave 1 or 2?

WAVE 1!!!!
 
Registration for Wave 1 was full as of 4pm CST... so some that registered for Wave 1 after about an hour of recieving the email (even if you got a confirmation like I did...) is on a "waiting list". Just FYI, as per Carson travel when I called this afternoon. :(

Edited to add... I dont give a flipflop about which wave I'm in, my husband and I are just thrilled to be going!! :D

Oh well, we may end up with the Gift Certificate, then. My husband had to fight to get the week he got! No way he would ever get the 2nd week of May!
 
I was able to register for wave 1 at about 5pm eastern
 
Can you call and explain the situation? That sucks to earn it and not be able to go...
 
They will...fit you in on the wave you want if your not able to travel on the other!!!

I chose Wave 2 because of scheduling. But it doesn't surprise me that Wave 1 filled up fast...that is when all of the Execs and above are going! It is nice to travel at the same time as your Exec because you can get invitations to their tables and such just like at Summit and Conference. In Vienna, my husband and I sat with Chris Manion at both dinners....didn't I feel special!!

So, I will miss sitting with Chris...but I will be traveling with all my PC friends!!! YIPPPEEEE!!! Can't wait!!! It is toooooo darn cold here!!! It has been below zero every stinkin day for like 2 weeks now!!! And some days have been 25-35 below....BRRRRRR....HERE I COME ATLANTIS!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D
 
Anywhere...

They will fly you out of whatever airport you want! So choose Midway if you like it better!!

We fly out of an airport that is in a different state than where we live and we never have any problems with it!! I live in Wyoming, but my sister-in-law who will watch my 1 1/2 yr old (oh he will be 2 by then...man time flies) and 4 yr old lives in Nevada. So we drive the kids to Nevada, she drives us to their Airport...which is tiny...and off we go back to Salt lake city...WHERE WE DROVE THROUGH TO TAKE OUR KIDS!!! ha ha!! But it is better than not having a loving sister in law who I have already made a reservation with for LONDON in 2008!!!!:D :D :D Level 4 London here I come!

I am sure as I said in the post above that they will fit you in on Wave 1!! Good luck getting on the wave you need!:D :D
 
Woo hoo!!! I'm all set for wave 2. Yay! I'll be sure to find you there, Marlene!!!:D

Eastern... so 4pm CST. Yeah, that's about right when it got filled up for wave 1 apparently. Thats like... an hour after we got the email! I called Carson at about 5pm CST after I filled out my registration and they said that "wave 1 is full (for now) and that I'd be on a waiting list, even though my confirmation says I'm registered for wave 1".
Same thing happened to my SD.
I think it'll be fine, we think that people will move around just like conference, but still.

Last year we took the travel credit for the flight to Miami for the cruise - - that was GREAT!
