Liann, I'm sure whatever we wear for the stretch class will be fine but I think you and Melissa will need to be watched as you might fall asleep on the mats!!! LOL
Melissa, Love your caffeine strategy. Yeah, I would definately have to pee after drinking a large iced coffee. Perhaps you should PRE-caffeinate. Drink a cup before leaving with just enough time to let it get through your system so you can pee it out BEFORE you head out the door! Then you can stop once it's light out for refill! How's THAT for a grand-caffeine-plan!?
I am a coffee hound so I am getting ready to go look at what time breakfast is. I am the type who wants coffee first thing after getting up. If the timing is right I will likely be going down to get coffee in my pj's in the morning! LOL I will bring a small coffee pot for the room if I have to as well! The offer to hitch a ride to/from the gym with you is very kind. You don't plan on taking the bus?

Okay Wendy - I like your coffee plan better than mine!!! I also like going down in my pj's and grabbing a coffee first thing. You think of everything girl!!
I'm not sure yet whether or not I'll be using the bus. Probably not on Friday and Saturday nights because depending on how tired I am, I might want to head back to the hotel a little earlier. I remember last year, on Saturday night, there were some of us that were so tired we were actually waiting outside the restaurant anxiously waiting for the bus to come!

Melissa,
I thought about that too...how tired I might be. I can be pretty darned miserable if I'm really tired so my big worry is being exhausted and having it ruin my weekend. Perhaps you are on to something skipping the bus in that case. I was planning on taking a cat nap when they bring us back to the hotel to shower up for dinner. I can become amazingly refreshed with only a 15 or 20 min nap if need be and it won't take me more then 30 minutes to get showered and dressed!

Wendy-Definitely look for me too! I felt the exact same way last year.
Melissa-I am in awe of you leaving at 2:30 AM!I was thinking about skipping the bus too as last year I remember a lot of down time at the gym before the dinner when I just wanted to take a shower and a cat nap.
Liann-I am debating between yoga pants and a tank or the one decent pair of pajamas I own. Actually, they are the pjs I bought last year for the RT so I wouldn't gross Catherine out with the scuzzy DH hand-me down t-shirts I usually wear.

LOL Beth, on DH's hand me down tees. That is what my jammies consist of too!!! I'm going to spare everyone from having to see them, though..

Beth, Thanks! I will be lookin' out for you! I am going to have to write all of your names down as I am going to be sooo nervous I am likely to forget! LOL
Perhaps I will have to rethink the bus thing then. Melissa or anyone else who is driving...if you could save a seat for me in your car, I'd be eternally grateful! I could always drive myself but again...the no A/C thing is real deterent!

Absolutely, Wendy! I have no idea what you look like, so I'm counting on you to flag me down!
And even though my avatar pic is from last year's RT, I still look pretty much the same so keep your eyes peeled!! My hair is a little longer right now, but I have an appt tomorrow night to fix that!!
I don't know why I bother trying to grow out my hair....

Ya’ll can also look for me at the RT, of course. I will probably be one of the chunkier ones, so I won’t intimidate with my buffness or anything. I am a bit shy and quiet myself but I’m friendly once you get me going. I’ve moved around and traveled enough in my life that I’m not too nervous, but I may feel differently once I’m there. I never know when my natural shyness will kick into overdrive.
I was going to say, I look like I do in my avatar—then realized I changed my avatar to a fig picture. Oops. I do not really look like a fig. So I’ll put my pic here. OK, I’ll have to be honest and put the pic that’s most like I currently look rather than the very most flattering, so here it is:

Oh man, I'm so exited just by reading all these posts!! Gals, I can't wait to see you!
Catherine, I got off work early on Thurs, so I can join you for dinner. Maybe we can all order out pizza? There is a Pizzeria Uno right next to the hotel and I think they serve alcohol. There are bunches of other places to eat too. I guess we can see what everybody wants to do. I won't be drinking because I'll be driving home, but don't let that stop YOU!
I plan on doing a lot of driving back and forth, so you gals can count on me for rides.

Phylllis I think Uno's at the hotel sounds good. I would think everyone would be tired from traveling and just ready to eat and talk and settle in,... well and of course have a drinkie-poo
Ok, I am sure we will all find each other. I remember seeing Wendy at the Sat dinner at 2007 RT, but I don't think I officially met her.
Lanie, do I have to slap you upside your head again? Enough with the negative talk
So just to throw this out at you all do-who's in for doing the back to back workout on Sat vs listening to the speaker and then doing the second w/o? Last year I did the back to back w/o and I am glad I did. Will probably do it again if I can.

Hey ladies!
Sorry that I didn't get a chance to check in earlier today, but I was busy catching up on stuff around the house after being gone all weekend. I'm getting so excited for this coming weekend!
I'll also be arriving on Thursday night, and would love to join the pizza group! Sounds like so much fun!
