Our WONDERFUL Conference / Angel Ball / Golf Tourny Weekend!

[LynneB]

Shaz and Dani, Oz would be great! We better start saving too!

Lynne-
Shane and I were just talking about the conference.
Bear has the most beautiful blue eyes we have ever seen.
To look at his picture and see him in person....you have a very handsome son.
I am happy we could meet all of you.

[LynneB]

Aww Shucks! Thank you. He does have pretty blue eyes. He looks so much like my dad. He hoped Jake would look like him, but if you saw Jake at the conference, you know he looks just like Jeff. I really hate that he is not around to see Baer. Sometimes I get so angry at him for that choice that he made. Shelby is a little doll too. but I think that Taylor won my heart. She sure is stubborn huh? Wonder where she gets that from?

Shaz and Maryanne might answer this as well but west coast is definitely the cheapest for us (LA and San Fran). If it was in Texas and we were coming I would still attend - would just be an extra flight once we got in and that means extra $. I am thinking more about the local US members though - making it fair on everyone. We are having our CAAF in Perth this year which is very isolated from the rest of Australia but it is only fair that we go there every so often for the WA members. They have spent a fortune attending our east coast forums! And so far this year we have 6 families flying over to it which is really good - probably more than we expected.

Just trying to be fair for your west coasters I so hope I can make it next year - just a warning though, you won't get any tears from me. Don't think I am a hard person, I just tend to cry on the inside instead, lol. Maryanne is much the same!

West coast is cheaper...
It cost us $2200 (aus) flying with Emirates via Dubai to NY in 2006 (meeting Polly)

I cry at the drop of a hat! Damon and the kids tease me all the time. Chels couldn't believe I cried in Mamma Mia! I cry at all the finales for tv shows..

Shane - you are making me blush: you big strong man you!!

[MaryanneReid]

Yep West Coast is cheaper! Shaz and I have to first fly from the west coast of Australia to the east coast, and then on to the USA!

Danielle is right about me, I cry on the inside too......

[Damon andSharonknott]

Maryanne, are you planning on the 4 of you going?

[MaryanneReid]

Yes, that would be the plan. We would have to make it a BIG family holiday!

I'm not sure I could leave my kids for such a long time if I came by myself!

[Corin Nava]

If you Aussie members can make it to the U.S. for a conference, I guess I have no excuses not to make it That would be wonderful to meet you all!

[DanielleKessner]

OMG Corin - we couldn't not meet you!!! You would have to attend
