AMG 2012: Names/Arrivals/Departures

[wolfter]

Were you checking on coach or a sleeper? Coach is usually pretty reasonable. Sleepers can put you in the poor house.

HUGS,

Mark

I was adding the cost of having transportation to and from a train terminal.  Our awesome governor returned the federal funds that would have connected our parts to the transamerican system. 

I'm no longer afraid of flying, but the cost of extra checked luggage is crazy.  I only checked one for Seattle and that wasn't enough even with the mild weather.  I know I'll need a lot more for DC.  Hold the comments, I change often due to overheating, and not as a fashion statement. 

Although, I did HAVE to buy new shoes in Seattle.  Getting ready to book a flight now, I'll just make do.  I didn't check if the hotel has laundry service, but they probably do.

Not a fashion statement?  Gurl, you and I went shopping at Nordstrom's in Seattle.   

[klassykitty]

Wolfter, they do have a laundry service.  bring your pup to, although the pet charge is quite outrageous.

That was to feed my shopping addiction....I needed my weekly fix.   Besides, I didn't have proper shoes for the flight home.

Mikie and I shopped at some discount type store there also....Absolutely wish we had that type of store around here.  Don't remember the name of it, but their prices were great and they actually had some nice things.

Thanks.  The puppy returned home this morning.

Hey my peeps!

Unfortunately it is starting to look like I won't be able to come to DC this year and see all my favorite people. I've been sick for quite awhile now and my GI doc thinks I have food allergies. The cost to get tested for these is going to pretty much eat up all the money that would otherwise have gone to pay for the hotel. Which sucks, because I already booked my flight! Unless some sort of miracle happens and I get a bunch of money somehow, I'm afraid AMG 2012 will have to go on without me!

That is terrible! Maybe something will work out in the mean time.

Food issues suck.

I've tried to create the updated list.  It never copies correctly so it is what it is.  If anyone finds an error, let me know and I'll correct it.

Thanks Wolfie --

It would be wonderful if it had one of those little table making thingies...  I remember the frustrations last year on trying to get the columns to align!

Thanks again!

Hey folks -
  I plan on coming.  I have a friend visiting from Australia the first week of August but the exact dates are not set.  So rather than post an arrival/ departure I'm going to hold off.  I expect if all goes as planned I'll be doing the same as the David's - same dates and driving (my new 2012 Jetta TDI!!!) only from the opposite direction.

Hey Buddy
I really hope you can make it. You know how great these gatherings are.  I look forward to seeing you again.  (BTW will Curtis be joining you too?)

Wolfie

[odyssey]

Its official folks, I'm not going to be able to make it. I have nowhere near enough money to pay for the hotel room or anything else, and with the onslaught of so many new food allergies venturing far from home doesn't seem wise. I hope everyone has a wonderful time!

[Lou-ah-vull]

You will surely be missed.  Who else can Willy Wump entice in his pajamas?  Hoping things get better for you. 

Gary

[Jody]

Sorry to hear that Ody, hope you feel better.  If this year is not meant to be, then hopefully next year.

Jody

[Razorbill]

Howdy. Just reserved.  Going to NC first to visit the Davids and then driving up same as they are, instead of down from NY.  Arrival 7/26 Thurs depart 7/30 Monday.
See you all soon.  xoxo

[Hellraiser]

Barring any more unforeseen financial shortfalls I will be booking my flight and hotel on friday!

[Jody]

Glad you are coming to DC Trey and you too Ernie, hope Curtis can be there as well..

Jody

[Miss Philicia]

Glory Days for sure -- too bad my hooves will prevent me from tormenting you on an hourly basis. But you never know, surprises have been known to happen with ample prayer.

[Basquo]

With regret, Santi and I will not be joining you all for AMG this year. We've been wavering due to my slow recovery from foot surgery 6 months ago--I'm still in pain and limping--but today we got the final word: a huge new software go-live at my hospital has been postponed to that week, and Santi's sups denied his request for time off.

I know you'll have a great time and we hope to join you next year. This will be my first year without you since Montreal in 2006.

I love you all very much. I hope you have the best time and miss y'all mucho!

Pansies and Puppydogs^tm,
Creighton

[Jody]

Creighton, so sorry to hear that you and dearest Santi will not be able to attend, you will be missed you great guys you.  There is always next year (the southwest U.S. perhaps?)

Hugs, Jody

[denb45]

No Creighton & Santi    sorry to hear this, I hope nobody else drops outta AMG 2012, we already lost a few of you, and that's not a good thing

Well poop, poop, and double poop!  Maybe the rollout will be rescheduled again and you can still come?   

No Creighton & Santi    sorry to hear this, I hope nobody else drops outta AMG 2012, we already lost a few of you, and that's not a good thing 

Not to worry Den I know of at least 3 - 4 others who are coming just haven't announced yet pending lack of details.

DC is going to be a great AMG.

Thanks RAB,  this will be my 1st AMG and hopefully not my last 

[Jeff G]

Just booked my flight and Hotel .

US Air Flight 2422 arrive at 1:20 at DCA on Friday July 27 . I will be leaving Monday 30Th  At 4:00 .   

[Buckmark]

@Jeff -- Yippee!

@Creighton -- I'm sorry you and Santi won't be attending.  Take care of that foot.  I hope that go-live doesn't turn into a cluster fuck.

[Lou-ah-vull]

Also saddened about Creighton and Santi... I will keep my fingers crossed that things will change.  I can't get there until Saturday morning myself (I have tried numerous times to get out of/reschedule a Friday evening work commitment to no avail) so I know the frustration of work interfering with AMG.  How dare they! 

Gary

[bocker3]

So sorry to hear that we will be without Creighton and Santi....     Of course, you WILL be there in spirit!

I need to adjust my arrival -- I am going to head up a day earlier ( the 26th vs. the 27th).  Not sure on time, it will depend entirely on when I get out of the office (hopefully early) and what the traffic up from Richmond is like -- most likely early evening.
Unsure when (or if) Sid will join us -- perhaps for the weekend, depending on his work schedule -- with our wedding in Sept (and our other trips this year), he doesn't have much vacation time left.
Can't wait!

Mike

[Basquo]

GAME CHANGE!!!

1) Jan's coming

2) Santi got 2 days off

3) I just stuck my vacation request under my boss's hand while she was on a call and jiggled the paper until she had signed it. Then I got online and didn't stop clicking until it was all done.

We'll be arriving at 4:40pm on 7/26, SW Airlines at Reagan International!!

Santi will be leaving Sunday afternoon at 5:15, and I'll be leaving Tuesday at the same time.

See you all, after all!!

[anniebc]

Arriving in Washington on the 19th.

Will be at the AMG Hotel on the morning of the 27th...leaving on the 1st of August.

Can't wait to see you all...Creighton, you have saved me from a huge cat fight... .

Jan, I am so happy you can make it - You have traveled to the moon and back for our AMG's mileage wise and I can't wait to give you a big hug again.  denb, it will be nice to meet you. Jeff- glad you can make it again.  Creighton and Santi, it is so cool you can come, hope Curtis does too.  And Mike, you better make sure Sid is there for a long weekend if not more!

Hugs to all, Jody

I've been lax with assisting with updating our list and will get to it soon.  I am very pleased to see a few of my favorites are now attending.  We just need to work on Carl, I will truly miss his company.

You got the correct info for me.  Don't forget to add JRE's partner to the list.


On a different matter does anyone know if Mum and Mini are still coming?  They said they were.
