Along the line of knowing who we are, where are you coming from and are you flying or driving? (If you are plyo jacking to get there, please give us notice - you will deserve some kind of mega prize!)

Since this would create too many polling options, just post if you are so inclined.

I'll start. I'm Lorrie, coming in from the Cleveland Ohio area and I'm driving - so I will have some room in my car for taking folks to the gym. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

ETA: and I'll share two of my fave RT tips - though our great coordinator gals will have plenty of fab tips later on.

Tip one: pack each complete RT workout outfit in a separate plastic ziplock bag, and include a drier sheet in that bag. As you take off those stinky sweaty clothes, seal 'em back shut with that drier sheet. You can air them out a bit at your hotel, but not really wash till you are back home. Sealed stinky clothes are way better than P-U luggage in either car or plane - LOL.

Tip two -- I love this one. Shop around for a new shower gel/shampoo/ etc fragrance. Find one you really like but put it away and do not use it till RT time. Use it at RT and then you will be amazed at how aroma therapy takes you back to your NJ RT whenever you use/smell that frangrance in the future. Funny, just the other day my kids got out the fresh cucumber shower gel I had for last year's RT and when they used it, I immediately thought "Oh wow! This is the RT!" HA.

Sorry to babble about RT stuff -- I just need something warm and sunny to think about.

Hello! I'm Amber (also known as Liann, my middle name) from South Central PA. I will most likely be driving in Friday morning, but I'm still toying with the idea of coming over on Thursday night. This will be my third RT.

Lorrie - I swear by the zip lock bags! It works so well!

Patti - I was born in Dayton, OH and lived there for the first 4 years of my life. I was a Wright Pat. baby.

Hi Tracy and Lisa!

Hello from Las Vegas....This is my first time! I am thrilled to have this opportunity to meet all of you who share the same passion for sweating their buns off as I do!
I will be landing thursday afternoon and hope that my nerves will calm enough that I can perform on friday. I always workout in the privacy of my home, all by my lonesome...so this is exciting. I start my wo at 4:30am (before the kids get up) I have to be so quiet that I hardly hear what Cathe is saying and I can't even clap my hands during step! lol What a riot for me. I am so looking forward to this. It sounds like the past rts were memorable.
Also, Thanks for the great tips!

I'm coming to the Road Trip from right outside the Boston area with my sister (we're two of three, triplets, but only two of us are coming, despite our best efforts to get her to join us this year!). We're driving down with one (hopefully two) of our friends who are also sisters, one is on the wait list though so we're hoping she makes it! She's #114 so everyone root her on please! This will be the second road trip for my sister and I, and the first for our friend(s). Can't WAIT!!

Hi everyone.

My name is Melissa. I'll be driving down from the north east corner of Massachusetts on either Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. Still haven't decided yet. I should probably decide soon so I can make my hotel reservation.

This is my third RT. On the first one I was a bundle of nervous energy. The second was much more relaxing and I met some cool people to hang with for the weekend.

Great thread Lorrie! And great tips. Although I LOVE the ziploc bag tip, maybe this year I'll remember to put in the dryer sheet....
