That poor pianist is going to see me walk in the door this summer and crawl under his piano - LOL

When are you flying in Carolyn? Are they other clustermates on your flight?

 

[Jilleysue]

Yah Carolyn what flight did you get and who is stayiing with you?

 

[dannyzmom]

Yah Carolyn what flight did you get and who is stayiing with you?

we're flying on United on the 11th at 4ish out of Ft Lau into OHare...leaving to come home Saturday on a 7ish United flight from OHare into Ft Laud...

So far on the flight are me, Trish, Roseanne, Kelly & Kristin.
Rooming in our room so far are me, Trish & Roseanne

 

[PampMomof3]

So you're leaving at 4ish or arriving at 4ish? I'll be arriving at noon!

Kelly and Kristin??? I am getting faces confused with names.

The flight I am looking at leaves at 7:30 on the 11th so we wouldn't be there till 11, but I guess that would be ok. Better than flying in the morning. I hate mornings. Yeah I just checked and this one flys into OHare as well. Kevin really wants to site see, so I think we may stay till Sunday. He has always wanted to go to Chicago. What hotel are you at? or you don't know that yet..you just know you 3 are splitting it.

Are there other people that go to our meeting that are going that aren't in the Kraham cluster?

Ok - just left you a voicemail on your cell with my flight info.
Hotels have not yet been announced but as soon as they are we'll book - we try to make sure the whole cluster is in the same hotel. We know the three of us are splitting th ehotel...and we have room for a 4th if Kevin decides not to come, you could room with us, or Cecilia may room with us - she's still working out travel details.

There are people at our meeting who are "hospitality" in other words they are not part of our cluster but their director lives far away so they come to our meetings...Brandilyn and Carolyn S are both hospitality consultants.

Oh Ok, what about Kim and the other director? Are they going. I think I saw them in the pictures.
I'll check my phone. It's on silent while I am at work. RULES RULES...ICK. Plus I have training going on.
I just found flights. I think I may need to get the morning one...UG, Maybe too complicated for the night time flight. I keep going back and forth. I want to be there the night before, so I don't have to run back to hotel and freshen up. Hate getting off plane..always feel sooo icky. Want time to take shower and be all CLEAN!!!
Now, I have to register Kevin as well right? My little CheF BOY R D...BHAHAHAHA!

 

[Kelley Sells]

Jill and CarolynWell, I see Chefann has incorporated some of her Chef Success wear for you ladies.....BAHAHAHAHAH.....you gotta check it out, I was falling off my chair laughing.....http://cafepress.com/annszwarc

 

[AJPratt]

Do you usually fly with your downline or no? This year we have a much larger group going than last. A wonderful "problem"!

 

[Kelley Sells]

Last year....There where about 10 of us that flew out from our cluster and then 2 other downlines, so it was sooo much fun.....we had two vans full and left them at the airport. It was a GREAT chance to get to know each other better.....

This year we WATCHED and waited and then all booked at the same time....LOL....can't WAIT for July.....

My son will be out in Chicago at Boot Camp for the Navy and that will be the same week as his Graduation Ceremonies so I may have to extend my stay in Chicago, OH DARN......

Kim's not going - her baby will just be a few weeks old then. Traci is not going because $$ is a huge issue right now (she's got one heading off to college and two in private school)

 

[Jilleysue]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I see, yes those were the ones I was asking about.
