I'm going to put in for the days off from work this week. Nothing like requesting early!!! And then I'll start looking into airfare when we get a little closer to the dates.
nw - thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to use those when looking.

As for my reasons for wanting to go.......

Of course Carbs skinny dipping is up there at the top of the list!
And I just love hitting new cities and letting loose for a couple days..... especially with friends.
It will be great to meet everyone in person after talking on these boards for so long.
And we will all be looking really hot by then so we will be a knock out group!!!

Cheers,
Gypsy
