I cannot wait!! For those of you who know me, I am going through a horrid divorce, made much easier by my furbutts and my YT pals!!

I am so excited to be able to attend - and you know what, if I was still married, I wouldn't have been able too!! LOL!!

I am like, planning my whole summer around this!

And I have a jar where I am stashing extra cash and coins for the main event so I can SHOP TILL I DROP!

I got my stroller a couple of years ago and my husband said the same thing! The funny thing is I was talking about the trip the other day and he said "I think I will take out the van seat and hook the stroller down so the dogs can travel in it and be comfortable and be close to you!

LOL Men are funny! You are so right!

LilDiddyBear · 11-13-2008, 04:05 PM

We are super excited!!! I already told my boss I need time off

All I have to do now is register and book a room!

I am thinking about making my hotel reservations. This would be my first time. Is anyone going to the earlybird activities on Thursday? The cruise and happy hour sound fun. I am not sure if I should reserve Thursday night or not. Thanks in advance for your input.

What is the first meet up like on Friday night? Is there a place where we let the dogs have some playtime with each other?

I tend to be a little shy and really don't know anyone on here. Is it easy to meet each other.

Thanks again,
Bonnie

I think that it was great meeting everyone who attended last year. There were a few who came that I didn't know from threads/posts at all, but I do now!!!!! Cyndi (Izzy Princess) and I are planning to be there for the cruise Thursday night.

CupofDog · 11-14-2008, 12:05 AM

I'll be there for the cruise Thursday! and don't worry about not knowing people! I was super active on this forum over the summer and then dropped off the planet for 2 months...but I am working hard back on YT and I am sure by July, we will all be one big family!!

alaskayorkie · 11-14-2008, 12:56 AM

We just booked our flight, so there's no turning back! We get there at around 12:30 Thursday, but after flying all night I don't think we'll be up for the early bird activities. We'll be ready to go Friday, though!

Sunnie · 11-14-2008, 06:09 AM

OK I am going to throw this out there... just in case.... I really hadn't planned on making the long trip from California, BUT I bought a motorhome a month ago... and justs for giggles.. wonder if anyone knows if there is any good RV parking anywhere in the area?

RebelBelle · 11-14-2008, 06:44 AM

Hey Sonya!

The closest RV park I could find to the hotel is the one below. Mapquest has it 12 minutes away from the hotel. I'll do a little bit more research later to see what else I can find.

My husband and i will be coming on Thurs. we booked the hotel for thurs and sunday too. We figured we might as well make it a little get-away for ourselves. I hope to be involved in the early bird activities. I dont know anyone on here other either, but, i am sure looking forward to meeting those that i have chatted with, or banned in the banning thread! or bought items from! It will be nice to have faces to go with the names. And to meet all those yorkies in one place!! Wow! So, i will look forward to meeting you Bonnie!!

Cocoabeaner · 11-14-2008, 05:04 PM

Thanks Jeanne!

How far is your drive from NC to the meetup? I am about 6.5 hours from CT.

I think I am just going to go for it and register this weekend! I am up for carpooling with people from CT, Mass, RI, etc.

I can just picture all the Yorkies playing together...
