Midwest Meeting of Members MOM

[devi (imported)]

Oxygen bar??? We don't have those up here in the Rockies and I had never even heard of that before. But then I suppose anybody that has trouble breathing shouldn't be up here in the first place. That mall out there sounds like a nice little morning hike to me plus there would be no rocks or branches along the path. Are you allowed to skateboard in the mall or do you just have to see if you can get away with it in the parking lot?

Do not worry it is not the only bar we visist.

I have my tickets already. The early bird gets the........ What?

One of the reasons we do not think we can make this year's meeting is that Ken has taken so much time off of work, and he really cannot take anymore. So something I am considering is coming to the meeting on my own.

In order for this to work, I would need transportation for the duration, including from and to the airport. I would likely do as another member is doing, and fly in on the 6th and out on the 11th. I should be able to get my own room.

If this is going to happen, I will need to decide very soon as the price of airfare cannot go anywhere but up from here

One way or the other, we can get you picked up. I will be taking several days off for the MoM, and know where the airport is....

Well I work at the airport, so depending on what time folks come in I could drive some out to their hotels at the end of my shift. I'd have no problem doing that.

Hi Everyone,

I have checked out the airfares for the trip this year and OMG! I was able to fly last year for $98.00 round trip. This year the same trip is $218.00!

Beside the cost, I need to conserve my vacation time for my upcoming medical leave of absence from work that will occur this coming September/October with the SRS.

I hate to say it but I'm going to have to miss the MOM this year as well as all of you.

I am sorry to hear that sad news. I am glad to hear all else is happening for you. I hope to see you next year.

Well, Erica Ann, I'd say that is a very good reason for not attending the MOM. --FLO--

Hi Erica Ann,

I totally understand your reasons for not being able to attent the Midwest MoM. I'm at a much earlier stage of transitioning and I'm already thinking about conserving money and vacation time.

I'm sorry I won't have the chance to meet you, though, but hope we have that chance sometime in the future.

You have my best wishes for all your upcoming transition plans.
