Thread: Conference 2009

  1. #1

    Conference 2009

    Hello, I know it's too soon to ask this, but maybe Dawn have already an idea and that will help me plan my trip because if I buy my plane tickets this early I can buy the cheaper. Anyway. Here are my questions:

    1. Are we planning to book a hotel for the conference so all of us stay at the same place?

    2. If so, wich hotel and where is it? (Is it near downtown -I know that is more expensive-, near a mall -I will make some shopping , near the airport, ect)

    3. Are we planning to make 2 days of conference and another day to bond or make another activities (like going to Sea World or going shopping or something like that)?

    4. Are we planning to make a formal dinner (So I bring the appropiate clothes )

    Anyway, since this is my 1st conference I have a lot of questions. I am so excited!!!!!

    Also, I want to know how can I help and if you guys need or want something specific from Mexico.

    We haven't booked a hotel yet (I'm working on it). I'll have that in the next week or two - we have to wait on responses from the hotels, etc. I'm trying to find a nice hotel that give us a good discount and a free conference room if we book enough hotel rooms. I know everyone is on a budget so we're trying to find very affordable rooms.

    No formal clothes needed, we're pretty casual (but not TOO casual - I say that because we do need to dress appropriately - nothing too skimpy).

    I plan to stay an extra day or two and see some of the sights too.

    Ok - who wants to be on the 2009 Conference Committee????

    I want to be on the committee! I am planning to go from Tuesday to Tuesday 7/21-7/28 (if that is the weekend) since it will be our vacation. I can do that because I'm a teacher and I'm off in the summer. I hope some people will hang around after the conference to do stuff!

    I think I have a cousin in TX so may have to visit her too!

    Besides, when will I ever get back to Texas?

    We think we will be in Texas for around 5 days. We may go down to Mexico for a day and also might spend a day in Houston. We plan on flying into San Fran, go to my Penpal's (since we were 15) in Wisconsin, down to Texas and back to spend some time in San Fran and surrounds (maybe Lake Tahoe and Reno?) before heading back home. Talk about being all over the country, lol.

    Like I have said before, until I am on the plane I won't really believe it. But so far so good.....can't wait!
