    Here is the information for the upcomming Menieres Get Together. For those who have never attended a get together, it is just a nice, casual relaxed gathering of us dizzy people where we can come and socialize and not have to worry about symptoms. It's the one place that everyone does understand and is accomodating to each others needs. For those who have been unable to attend one, I would highly recommend it. Some people stay back at the hotel, while others will go out (if feeling well) and see the sights of the town.... but no one is ever left alone.

    If you need to make reservations-- the information is all on this page--- and just mention that you will be booking under a group rate-- and the group name is the Menieres Support Group. This will give you a little cheaper rate, plus they are trying to make sure that all of the rooms are on the same floor.

    I also have a nice large meeting room reserved so we can accomodate a larger group.

    I sent Dianna a PM about this but I dont know if she got it or not before the board was redone. Matt and I are not going to be able to make it :( It's a long story, but basicly we have been stuck with having his mother as a houseguest for the end of November and the whole month of December. As many of you know, she is a carnie (yep, i said carnie!) and the company that she works for is closed during that time, and since they provide her room and board, she is essentially homeless when the company shuts down for the holidays. I'm not particularly happy about the whole deal, but how can I turn her away? Especially around the hoilidays. I love this woman, but she has a smidge of a salty past, so we arentr comfortable leaving her alone in the house all weekend while we go on the trip.

    Im really really sorry guys :( I hate that I am gonna miss it, I was really looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting new people and I wanted ya'll to meet Matt but it's just not gonna work out for us :(

    That's okay, Rachel. It's also looking like I won't be able to make it. Sometimes we just can't.

  10. Does anyone remember who already had rooms set aside? I know I did--a King size but willing to trade for two doubles.

    Steve:

    We'd appreciate it if you would leave your friend at home. She is somewhat antisocial and annoying. I also hear she sleeps around a lot!

    Steve,

    I have a room reserved with two doubles.

    In the event that I don't attend...you can have it.
     
  13. Yeah, but she's very clingy and is ALWAYS at my left side.

    Is that why you want a room with two double beds?

    Me thinks he's bringing the baby along...again!!!

    ...and I think its a (Colorado) quarter cheaper for the two doubles!! ;D ;D ;D
     
  20. Actually I don't care one way or the other. But someone else might have a double and want a king badly enough, in which case why not trade?
