Hi Kathy...thanks for your msg..re: can you help with anything... I think Im set...Im a night person so will probably leave Arizona about 10am or so....Thursday...I can't believe it's almost here....I'm sure you won't be the only weepy one !!!  While we are all so different we all share a very rare thing.

Patty...I'm not sure the ages of everyone...but its many different ages.  My Cara while only 7....is so used to her three brothers and their friends ( Brandon almost 18 (FEB 06) , Bryan and Ben almost 16 (Nov)...she is so used to older boys and men....so your son may have an instant girlfriend !!!! (just kidding).  Simply will be the coolest thing for the kids to see adult MM'rs too.

I am most excited about a group photo of the MM people which will be awesome....and no doubt it will grow over the years.

See  ;Grin you  ;Grin all  ;Grin soon.

Anyone else going to LV require a wheelchair?  I just want to know if anyone else needs one because I don't want my husband to be discouraged if he is the only one.  I know that this is going to be hard for him to see everyone, but he is really excited.  We love vegas.
Thanks!  MichelleB

Oops forgot to add....Patty...Cara and I are also staying at CircusCircus...I thought would be cool to have a circus which I hear is ongoing in our very own hotel plus while the adults are off to the evening events I plan on doing stuff with Cara thats more geared to kids which Vegas has PLENTY of.   

One of my favorites is over by Treasure Island...the pirate ship fight...usually PACKED outside...and my boys suggest I take Cara to that one.   ;Grin

I think another family with a son and daughter is staying at CircusCircus too. 

See you there.

Hello Patti, Carol and others,

We will be staying at Circus Circus from Friday through Sunday.  My 10 years old son, Kota (Kotaro), has MM.  His parents and sister (Sanako, 7 years old) are going as well.  Looking forward to seeing all of you.

Hi MichelleB....

...looking forward to meeting you.  Neither Cara and I are wheel-chair bounded but I almost was due to my B12 defiency complications...not including my diabetes.  My dad was in one for the last few years of his life...and Cara sat in his lap while he wheeled around misses him dearly...and shes very attached to those who are in wheelchairs...when she sees one..she says I miss grandpa (died Jan 05)...so she'll be touched to see someone in wheelchair in our group...really.   Looking forward to meeting you.   Come to think of it I'll be the only one thats deaf but I'm just too excited to even think about it...and want to be there with Cara and we want to hug everyone for being there for us online all this time.

Tight HUGS,  Carol

Seachelles, Shari, DJ,

I just mailed a box filled with some "goodies" from Hawaii for everyone who will be attending the get-together this year via UPS Priority Mail, which they told me will take 3-5 days...(I'm hoping it gets there by the Saturday Continental Breakfast in your suite).  It is being sent to the Flamingo Hotel in your name, Michelle.  I will PM you a tracking number as well.

I hope you all enjoy yourselves and have a great time...I wish I could be there!

Enjoy the goodies.... Wink

Take care,
Shan

I have a question... when I get to the Flamingo, how do I find the common suite?? I won't have a computer to check what the room number is after you guys check in. Who's name do I ask for?? I know Shari's last name, but not Michelle's. Or do I ask, where's all the occluded brains meeting?? hehehe

I know... Smiley I'm a dope, but I'm getting dopier cuz I can't sleep. I'm so excited I'm about ready to bust!!

Everyone have a safe trip! Can't wait to meet you all.

Hey Mar -

If you print out the itinerary you have a couple of cell phone numbers on there.  I'll also PM my cell phone number.

Michelle's last name is also on the itinerary.

Mar,

Did you get the itinerary that I sent out?  I believe it has my last name on it.  However, I will be getting in on Wednesday night and will call either Jill or DJ so they can get the suite number to everyone.  Also, the room is in my name.  Let me know if you find the itinerary.

Thanks !!  Yep, I found it, but just didn't read it. Smiley Well, it isn't normal to be this excited. I'm just not thinking. I have Shari's number entered in my cell, so I feel better now...lol

Thanks! See you all soon!!

Hi CarasMom and KotaDad,  Thank you for the nice welcome.  I hope my husband and my son get to meet you at CircusCircus. 

To All, did you ever determine how we'll (actually you'll) all find the common room?  Did you decide that you should call the phone numbers on the itinerary?

Thanks.

Patti,

Yep, all the info is on the itinerary. The names, phones numbers, etc. I just neglected to read it, like a dummy. I'm way too excited about this trip. I can't wait!!!

I'll be so tickled to meet your son and hubby. It's a shame you can't come. I live just minutes from you guys. (Fairless Hills) Infact, I may pass your home every day for all I know. So, we'll have alot in common. Small world, huh?

Hi Sara,

Oh my gosh!! I'm so sorry to hear about Scott. That's terrible. I hope he's doing better now. Please tell him he's in our prayers.

We would have loved if you all could have made it to our first gathering. We're already talking about an annual event, so let's hope you get to go to the next one. I personally can't wait to see your precious li'l girl. Give her a hug for all of us.

Again, our best to Scott.

Thanks Mar!

We are hanging in there. He had a double bpass surgery on the 6th of July. He will be driving and back to work soon. It is just weird because I sorta feel like he has the same problem I do, except it is in his heart...

Anyhoo, I am sure I will attend if this becomes an annual event! I will email you a pic of Abigail. I sent one to DJ, but it isn't on the board yet.

Ya'll have fun!!

Sara....our prayers for Scott that he continues to get stronger...sounds like he has.  And I am sure we'll have this event annually.  It may switch on each side of the country so those back east don't have to go as far....Im sure DJ will post pictures no question about that.

Michelle/Shari...I picked up two sizes plates and 16 oz cups at Costco...will get the liter sodas tomorrow then I'll email one of you the final list. ;Grin of what I got.

Also have some cheese dips, veg dips, mexi-dip that I will bring up, too.

Smiley Lore or was it by Kevin...

...a poet or not...I enjoyed it  Wink

This post alone has been viewed so many times...probably the most viewed one.  Wink

We are all excited...very.
Still the coolest thing to meet others you first met online.
So often I wanted to crawl online and thank each and everyone of you for being there when I needed it. ;Grin

And now I will be able to do just that....just can't hardly wait.

I told Cara everyone will recognize her because she does look exactly like her photo...but with two big front teeth now...she laughed and said but I don't know them.  I said I haven't met any of them in person either so it'll be new for both of us.

SEE YOU ALL THERE.....a zillion of hugs,  Carol

I'm in Dallas now waiting for my connection to Vegas typing on one of these stupid kiosk things.  AHGGGGGG!!!!!!!  I'm that much closer to Vegas.  Hey Lore.....loved the poem.  Can't wait to finally meet Kevin!  Anyway.....got to board soon and I'm not liking this kiosk.
