Where to start, Nan56, and KatieBee out did themselves in the planning and activities. I arrived about 1:30PM Friday, checked into the Hotel.....The suite was as big or bigger than my appartnent.....Katie called and met me with in an 1/2 an hour. We gabbed while waiting for the others to arrive...others filtered in as the afternoon wore on, zen11, and sld1. We met in the lounge area for a free drink and just talked and talked....Then it was off to Fat Fish Blue for a fabulous dinner, drinks and more talking, laughing and just a great time with great people. Saturday AM, I met zen11 at the free cooked to order breakfast, enjoyed great conversation and good laughs, again others filtered in, Chrissy614 made it in(working late and traffic spoiled here original plans),Kristeen and Nightingayle came from Indiana, EllC form the Cleveland area was able to make it to the dinners, of course Nan56 and KatieBee, Darlamyangel came in Sunday(was moving all week end). We had a fair size group and every single one are sweethearts. Great people, great times, loads of fun, bigger loads of laughs, even a few tears. I feel that everytime I go to these I heal a little more. If you think these people are sweet, nice people on-line you would have to meet them in person....AWESOME people. I would like to thank all of those that were able to make it down, encourage the others to if possible try to make it to one in ther future if possible and of course I realize that circumstances make it difficult or near impossible, but I fel that it helps us to heal a little more. Meeting the friends that we have spilled our guts to face to face, to get to know them, their personalities.... I feel I have made life long friends, that I hope to stay in contact well after my time on DS is through.....Enough of my rambling but Again Thanks to all. We should definitely do this again, I love you all..........AJJ
