Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Dear Cindy Hey!!! Yipppe!!! I'm so glad for so many reasons that you are going. I'm so happy that Dylan is doing better. You'll be flying into Buffalo. I don't think you'll need a car. You won't need to call the hotel, becuase Aase Marit already has the reservation, she'll just have to add your full name to the room reservation. And all the rest of the info will be in Loose Connections on ednf.org &,a special mailing from the EDNF about the conference, etc. etc. Don't worry, you'll be an expert in no time. You will also receive airline info soon too. Hang on to your socks!!! You'll be a pro in no time. Get ready for the most unbelievable experience of your life!!! You'll be getting all of the answers to all of your questions very shortly. I only have a minute & don't know if Aase will see this immediately & I can " hear " that you are just jumping out of your skin. So, because of the time difference & because you hadn't said anything in the subject line @ Aase Marit & her needing a roommate, just in case she doesn't see it, I'm going out on a limb here, but can only be 99.9% sure & I'm only doing this, because I know you are obviously dying to know a bunch of things. Aase & I spoke online a short time ago, just before she went away & is going to be away for the weekend in Oslo at another conference & I don't know if she will see this right away. But I do know that we had just discussed that she needs a new roomate, because another girl that now cannot come with her from Norway because she is having a thumb fusion,, she will need another roommate & a smoker. We had even discussed that it's not very often that hotels in the U.S. even have smoking rooms anymore, but she managed to get one, I think she said because it was the last handicapped smoking room (so you got really, really lucky) or something like that. I can go back & see if I can find the copy of her email, it was probably from last night. I know she asked for 2 beds & I couldn't get her to " get it " about the difference between single size & a double beds, so she may think that a double bed just means a bed for one person! But I suggested that she put a note on CEDA, ond ednf.org & everywhere else. I haven't heard a word from her about getting a roomate. There really wouldn't have been time, so I'm glad you saw it right away. It will work out great for both of you. Aase Marit & I have been soooooooooo close for so many years & even call each other " Sis " . She is so much fun & just a great gal. She has spent time at my house previously & will be coming home with me to NJ again after the conference this year. I think she's been to at least 2 or 3 conferences before this one. And, she is coming to the US @ a week early & staying with another absolutely great gal, with me also, so we can help set up. There's an amazing group putting this conference together in Buffalo & Sue has been so hospitable, that she's going to put up with both of us for a bit before we all check into the hotel! I just can't wait until her amazing hubby finds out that he's going to have to escort 3 lovely ladies while we are there! I think maybe we won't tell him yet... Nah, he's really just great! So, Aase Marit will already be there whenever you get there & are ready to check in. I know I worked with her with her reservations & if I remember correctly, her room is booked from July 13 to July 19. I don't know if that is set in stone, as you have 24 hours before each reservation day to cancel, if need be. But, she will be in town anyway beforehand & believe me, you will be one lucky gal, not only to be going to your first conference, but to have Aase Marit also!!! I can't guarantee that you will get any sleep though! And I don't want to be held responsible if, at the end of the conference, you say that you never were able to sleep, because you never stopped laiughing! Aase is so much fun & just so nice you won't believe it...... I don't know if she notified anyone else yet that she was looking, but actually I guess she did put a notice on CEDA or else you wouldn't know aobut this.... DUHHHH! Well, anyway, I will also write to her to let her know, if you haven't already & we all can't wait to meet you. Have a safe trip & be ready for the time of your life & to part of the most wonderful family that you could have ever imagined. Please make sure you look me up as well. Take care, see you soon, counting the days.... Schoenberg, New Jersey Oh, also, you may want to send her a note personally, straight to her email address, to let her know. I just didn't want you to be concerned if you don't hear back from her until she get's back, I think on Monday. Her email address is aase.m@... And if you REALLY want " to get to her " , she is absolutely crazy in love with her little Yorkie, Peanut. So, if you want to, just to be kind of funny, you can send her a copy of Peanut and tell her that Peanut sent you an email, asking if you would watch out for her Mommy while she is at the conference. If you know Aase, you would understand. I think this little doggie has more clothing than I do! Here's Peanut! I hope you know how to copy it to send it back to her. If you have any trouble, you can email me back to ask to see if I can help you.

I'm a smoker and I don't use a chair. I wasn't sure till today. My husband got his vacation schedule and it all works out!! So now I need the dates and all that stuff. If some one can contact me on or off line, I need to get air reservations and all that. Do I need to rent a car?I haven't been away for 12 years! it's time! I need info. What airport will I fly into? How far to the hotel? What date does it start and end? If Aasie don't need a room mate, does someone else need a smoking roomy? I didn't keep all the info because I thought I couldn't leave Dylan. but he is doing so much better on his new med, I can swing it now. I asked him if he wanted to go, but he felt he wasn't up to the trip. So, I'm going!!! and I can party!! Cindylouwho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
