Well, sort of!

We leave early in the morning to visit family and then I'm off to conference 3. I get to see Janetupnorth while in Milwaukee - she promised to not spill the beans on all the announcements and I know she's pretty strong so I don't think I'll get any pre-announcements out of her.

See you wave 3ers soon! Have a great week everyone.


...well, I probably will be on a little - we will have internet at our hotel so you know I'll be checking in.
 
Have a great trip Beth. Can't wait to finally meet you!
 
Have a wonderful and safe trip! See you in Chicago!
 
Have a safe trip out here!! See you somewhere during wave 3. Have fun!!
 
Have fun Beth, I'll be thinking about you all as I reluctantly sit here in the heat wishing I was with you all!

I'm now in Milwaukee. Getting ready to go to my sons' band event - battle of the bands. They are playing at the Rave. If you want to hear what they sound like you can go to: http://www.myspace.com/thebandconniption or http://conniption.us/

Can't wait to see you Wave 3ers!! - I wish there was a way we could ALL get together! I guess we need to all look at Denver.:cool:
 
OK, I have to admit I'm starting to get worried because I've been trying to get a military flight out for 3 days and haven't gotten anywhere yet. We're giving it until Tuesday. I will be so devastated if I can't make it to Conference though!
 
Oh no Debi! You just have to make it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
 
Me too!! I hope you make it!!!:)
 
Thanks you guys!!! There is a scheduled flight to Delaware and one to Baltimore today. Pray that we get on one of them!
 
Good luck Debi! I hope you make one of the flights!
 
Oh, Debi! You MUST make it!!!!
 
Sitting at the military terminal now waiting to see what will happen today. There are two flights to Delaware and one to Baltimore as of right now but there are alot of people trying to get out. This is what we deal with when it's all FREE. LOL!
 
Good luck!
 
I've got my fingers crossed for you Debi!

Did you explian to them that the military will have their hands full of irate Cheffers if they don't get you on the plane??!!
 
THAT's what I forgot to say!!! Darn it! Well, Linda, would you like their phone number? Maybe you could explain it to them? LOL!!!!Well, we tried again today and didn't get anywhere. There are five flights tomorrow, at least three of them to Charleston and then one or two to Delaware again. We didn't want to drive from Charleston but at this point, we gotta do what we gotta do!Keep praying for us! I'll keep you posted!
 
Hope you're having a great time Beth!! :D

Debi, I'll be praying for you!!
 
I guess I did kinda hijack Beth's thread. Sorry Beth!!!!
