Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 Leona, I live in Las Vegas and it gets very hot here in the summer but winters are beautiful most of the time and it actually can get fairly cold. It even snows here in the " high " desert. Today we had a near record rainfall and flooding. Naturally, I'd love to see an AIH convention here, but that's because I'd be afraid that I wouldn't be able to afford to go someplace else or that other things would get in the way. There's lots to see and do but most of us aren't physically up to night life and partying, which is mostly what this city is all about. We do have a ski area just 45 minutes out of town and it's beautiful in the winter. I haven't been in Minnesota for many years but it's a beautiful, green state. Very cold in the winter, though. The Mayo Clinic is one of the top medical centers in the US and it's proximity would undoubtedly be beneficial for a convention of this sort. The main advantage Las Vegas has is that many speakers might be willing to come here because it's a primary convention city. Also, it's possible to get some very good group rates for hotels and other perks, like free meals. In fact, we live here and we get them in the mail all of the time and hand them out to friends and family. But, it's not centrally located and would be an expensive trip for people in other parts of the US. There are several internationaal airlines making non-stop flights here now, by the way, but none from Australia that I've heard about. Also, there's a new Las Vegas based airline (National) that advertises exceptional service, more comfortable seating and full meals vs. snacks. The RT fare to and from NY is only $355.00 or less. However, they only fly to and from JFK in NY, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco at this time. All of their flights are non-stop. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't be able to attend a convention out of town no matter where it is, in October. That's too soon for me and my grandson is returning from 6 months in Africa that month, so we have to be here for him.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 In my opinion I would find las vegas a good location for the convention. Im sure others will agree with me, the convention would not be the same if you werent there. You are a compassionate person,with a good source of information, and it would be a shame if you couldnt go. I guess what im saying is that one of the benefits of going to las vegas for the convention would be meeting you.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Geri, You did not say if you normally have ducks in your back yard. Were you flooded too?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 , Nope, we don't normally have ducks in the backyard. Our house backs on a golf course and there are a couple of ponds and some large trees where the ducks hang out. However, we pamper them and keep huge bags of bird seed and sunflower seeds for them, so they're never far from our house. When the rain stopped, there was a small lake behind the house, but not in our yard (and a rushing river between our house and the one next door) and the ducks were delighted to discover that their golf course had become a lake. It's slightly more elevated and hilly out here in Lone Mountain, where we live, so there weren't many flooding problems. Also, the ground has been cultivated longer so will absorb water better. Believe it or not, the golfers were back on the course the day after the big rain. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 1999 Report Share Posted July 22, 1999 Hi Sue, What is this about AIH being hereditary? I have never heard that. Can you say more on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 1999 Report Share Posted July 23, 1999 : I guess as Geri says that it is the autoimmune that is hereditary. My sister has Ulcerative colitis. The other people in my family has no signs of anything like what we have. Sue AIH Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 1999 Report Share Posted July 23, 1999 Hi Sue, Glad to hear that. I thought there was some new information out there that I had missed. We have quite a bit of autoimmune illness on both sides of our family. I am the only one with liver involvement. I really didn't want to think that my daughter would inherit this mess!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Hi Sue: You sure have been blessed then. Jodi's infections are coming closer and closer together. She has been in the hospital twice in the last six weeks. She went back to work last Monday and her doctor told her to wear a mask all of the time since she works for a children's dentist. Hope you feel better soon. It would be wise for you to call your doctor and just let them know but if your running a low grade temperature he will want to see you I bet. Take care and God bless, Genny/Jodi's Mom Happy Easter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
