Alright alright...NOW I have competition and you KNOW what that means...I need to bring ALL EIGHT of mine...:laugh:

That would be something to see.:D

Haha, and I would also be completely EXHAUSTED by the end...:rolleyes:

I know...I want there to be LOTS of shopping...LOTS LOTS LOTS..

It would be nice to do an intro thing Saturday morning...where we can each stand up and tell everyone our name, YT name, and dogs' names. That way we know who is who (along with nametags)

That's a great idea! But if we get more than about 50 attendees (which I hope we do!) it would take a REALLY long time! Maybe we could break into groups and do it! Or do that at the tables we are sitting at or something!

PS- I am totally going, I just don't have the cash to pay my registration fee yet. So add me to the #'s!

Exactly why my hubby keeps telling me to leave a couple home. But I couldn't bear the thought of not having them all with me.:(

Yea I mean it wouldn't be anything LONG and boring LOL it would just take up like 10 mins.....But I am with you all the way I really want to SHOP too!!!! :thumbup: :D

I don't think it would take that long. If each member just stood up and did a real quick intro...it shouldn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes

Yea I don't think it will take long either as long as everyone just sticks to the basics LOL......I do like the name tag thing, I think this should be a MUST especially with people with symbols in there name :rolleyes:!!

:eyetearss :eyetearss :bleh: :sidesplt: :mtongue: :D

:) finally confirmed my flight last night . . . ended up using miles as the fare was just way too much :rolleyes: . . I was reluctant to give up my miles as they were asking for double but I guess it is better than paying $700 :eek: especially since the expense does not end there :)

I can't wait to meet everyone . . .I will be calling this morning just to confirm there is no problem with Annika's reservations :)

Looking forward to meeting you too Des!

I completely agree. If you look at the tentative schedule I posted back on the very first page of this thread, I allowed an hour (although obviously this "schedule" is VERY flexible and just to give us an outline of what will happen) for "Official YT Introductions/Welcome". I figured we'd all just stand up at our tables and introduce ourselves and our babies. I don't think it will take very long - even with a lot of attendees.

As for the name tags, each person who registers will receive a name tag (that's why I'm asking for everyone's "real" names when I respond to your registration payments), and that will be your "ticket" to enjoy breakfast and such. I don't want to have to police who did or did not pay, but I don't want to risk "extras" showing up either and eating off the continental breakfast table, so that there may not be enough food left for those who did pay. I also don't want random people walking among our dogs, because you never know when it could be an unwelcome "bad guy". I'm sure I'm being too worrisome here, but I just want to make sure all avenues are covered. SO...we'll each just have to keep an eye out that no random people are there that DON'T have a name tag...
