The only way I could even possibly attend any annual get togethers is if they are within driving distance. We can not afford to fly. Hotels are even iffy. Now, if there was one in Baltimore or Washington, DC, we could go. We'd just stay at my Mom's or my brother-in-laws.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

So close, yet so far away for RichardMel to meet AlohaBeth


Consider us lucky.  ;)

If we decide on a definite "yes" for San Antonio in May 2009 let me know ASAP so that I can begin looking into hotels and activities.  We can get combination tickets for both Sea World and Fiesta Texas if anyone is interested.  There are really cool water parks at both locations!  The Texas "wave pool" is rocking at Fiesta Texas!

I have a speaker in mind, as well.  I just have to contact her.  Bobbie Wager, AAKP President.  She would be a great speaker and believe she said she'd do it (told a friend of mine).  I haven't talked to her directly.

I'm sure Nursewratchet will pitch in and help me with some activities and organization, as well as anyone else in the S.A./Texas area that would like to help out.
I'm in.  Whatever we need.
