In a few minutes, I'm going to bed. tomorrow evening, I will have to get to bed early for a very early start. Since I've also got to get things ready and so on, I won't have much time to visit the forum.

Hope everyone has a safe and pleasant journey and I'll see you all in London Saturday morning.:driving: What a hoot that'll be!!:yh_dance :yh_party :yh_wave

Oh definitely. A still picture is one thing...seeing that person for the first time face-to-face is a whole other story. I can't wait to hear how your perceptions of each other change. It's going to be something we'll be talking about for a long time to come!



I'm with you Chonsi, I wish I was going too. I'll be there in spirit!! :-6

This will be it for me also... I am packing. Taking way too much stuff of course. I wish you all were going. I am certain that all of you will be fondly mentioned over the weekend. I cant believe Im one of the ones going. Love to all of you who are staying here. And yes I agree many mental images will be shattered. I dont know how that will change things. But I think we are setting a trend. People who grow to like each other so much.... that they will travel great distances to meet each other. This is the first of meetings that will take place in many different locations.... We will be posting from England.... Love Weeder.... Laura:-4

Oh I hope you're right Laura. You're one of my top 5 who I want to meet in person. We do need to get on that reunion here in the States.

As a possible beginning....Bullet and I will be travelling the first two weeks of July. Heading through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida.....any ideas???

Id love to meet you too. I think we have a cosmic connection. I think July might be too hot for Florida. However..... Tennessee is VERY close to Virginia.

We will work on it next week when I get back. :)

Tennessee is one of the states we'll be travelling through, Laura! We'll be meeting up with LC in Florida, towards the end of our trip, but I'd love to be able to hook up with you on the way!! That would be so incredibly cool...

Chris, so you've arrived. Don't forget to check every inch of Raven's place for dirty spots she's missed. Fluff under beds, etc.:wah: :p
