  • O.k...cool, at least a definite three for next year! LOL!
  • Okay, then I'll volunteer Seattle for the one after that. That gives all you easterners and midwesterners time to save up. Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, the Experience Music Project, Pacific Science Center, a cruise around the bay, a dinner train through the mountains--we've got it all!


  • I'm totally up for Seattle! I've been there once and I knew instantly that it would be my ideal place to live. Boston sounds great too, I've been there once as well. Wouldn't it be great if we really could do this every year in different locations?! That way everybody might eventually get a chance to go.

  • ummmm. Anyone for London, LOL???? I can offer you red buses, Crown Jewels, Buckingham Palace.....and a trip to the countryside for rolling hills and quaint 15th century cottages......

    Mind you, Seattle I've never been to.......and Boston, I have visited a fair few times, but not for many many years......time to start saving those air-miles, I think!!!!
  • London would be fantastic! Don't forget all of the great options in Canada...

    Raelynn's neck of the woods offers the mountains! Banff has hotsprings, spas, shopping and hiking!

    Montreal is beautiful.....lots of beautiful history! Lots of hills for walking. A great comedy festival....lots of festivals really!

    Jillegal is in Toronto, which is a really great city as well!

    Sounds like we are going to need 20 years worth of conventions to showcase all of the great places everybody has suggested!

    For all those making it to Chicago this year.....have a great time! Please provide full details & pics, so that the rest of us can live vicariously through you!
  • Yes Yes Yes!!!

    I'm in Raelynn's neck of the woods (Calgary).. and Banff is beautiful.. I vote for a convention there...

    As for your Chicago Convention.. You ladies (and gents) have all worked very hard to get here and deserve that weekend more than anything.. Enjoy it & Live it Up!

    Cherish the memories and use that as your motivation for years to come...

    Gosh, what a great group of people on here...
  • i can drive to seattle! =)
  • oh boy. You guys are showing up my shameful geography. Calgary??? Somewhere in Canada, maybe???? Banff - sorry absolutely never heard of it.....

    Hmmm. Never been to Canada (well, I tell a lie - one weekend in Quebec, when I was 14.....does that count??) - so it gets my long-distance vote!
  • Banff is in southwestern Canada in the province of Alberta. Here is a picture of Banff National Park. I happen to think that it is the most beautiful place on earth (but am highly biased as I grew up in Calgary - which is very nearby - and got engaged in Banff this year!).
