GAL....YIPPEE!!! and WHEW, it's so hard to email geneology info in a way that it makes sense. Did you have to go back to KY or MD or was the link in Indiana? This is SO cool!

Check ancestry.com for lots of links...of course some of the pedegries have errors because they are posted by other family researchers, but sometimes, you can hit the mother lode!


So...in addition to the butt shots, a geneological link will now be required for TVCH meetings! LOL!

This has really put a smile on my face, and I was talking to Mom on the phone when I read GAL's post. She thinks that I'm nuts (well, that's not a surprise, huh!).

How cool to meet long lost family!!!

i went to cheap tickets dot com and got a good flight deal--i'm staying at the bellagio--its a little pricey but i saw it showcased on the tv show 'great hotels' and want to stay there and see their water falls show--of course i'll get tickets to '0' which is there as well :)

"O" is out of this world. You will love it, Nancy. The Bellagio is quite something as well, although I have not seen the rooms.

Nancy...The Bellagio is one of the nicest places to stay here! You'll love it and "O"!! Ask Spy where her tickets were located in the theater. She had awsome seats!

The Bellagio fountains go off every 15 minutes with a different song for each "show". The fountain show is free, but you will want to be there early to jockey for a nice spot by the rail. The hotel is very elegant! The venetian glass chandelier in the lobby is stunning.

Too rich for my blood...I stayed in the "Cheap seats" in the older part of Vegas.

Enjoy!!! There isn't another city in the world like Vegas.

The "O" is the most unbelievable show I've ever seen. I recommend the earlier show (7:30) instead of the 10:30 because it is so overwhelming, you will be exhausted at the end so no need to fight the late hour, too.

I bought my tickets right off the website, but they don't go on sale until about 3-4 months in advance. I checked the website daily and ended up getting the pick of the seats in the entire auditorium. We sat in the front row of the balcony (because my silly family didn't want to get wet), but on the other hand, I would have to say that was the best place in the house. So much goes in the air above that we could see it all just fine. Plus, you get a great view of the water and can see things you wouldn't be able to see at eye level. My brother sat in the middle section towards the front and was actually a part of the beginning of the show when the clowns came out. That was the only thing we missed where we were sitting, and it lasted about 2 minutes. Front row, center balcony is my rec.

Here is a tip -- pay close attention to the opening and the closing. If you blink, you'll miss how they "open" and "close" the big red curtain and it is truly amazing. :)

Thanks spy i'll keep that in mind...Someone told me that the bellagio is very expensive to eat in so i'll prob go somewhere else to eat..but i'm looking forward to 0 and the water shows..

I will be meeting someone i've 'met' online thru the w.w. message boards(yes i admit i visit another message board!) --she lives in las vegas so we want to at least meet for lunch--i've never met anyone from online so i'm nervous and excited at the same time..but i know we have watching our weight in common LOL :)

I received an email this morning from Ms. Bat. She sent it at 5:15 this morning. I hope she doesn't mind me posting it. I am just sooooo excited she is coming down to visit.

Here is her email:

I awoke at 4 am and have just now gotton my husband moving forward. I am going to read the emails I have here then close up shop and FINALLY! be on my way.

Grooch. I have told my DH that we have to get moving to be off the road for AI (this was at 4:30) he groaned and said ohhhhhhhhhhhh I get it now.

He said go make coffee and pack the cooler, I will be up in a minute. I said done, look at me, I am all dressed, and everything, except you, is in the car!

----------------------
Whoo Hoo! 2 more days!!!! :)

Nancy, don't worry. It's a lot of fun meeting people in real life, that you met on a message board.

A lunch sounds like a perfect choice for meeting. This way if you hit it off, you can make plans to spend more time together, but if you find that you don't have anything in common, you can go off and do your own thing.

Good luck! :)

Go Bat go!!!!! Make tracks today so you can watch who gets voted through on AI tonight (priorities, you know)

I am going to bet they make it to Virginia/West Virgina by tonight. (depending on the route they take)

Taking bets................

I'm game. I bet she will make it to North Carolina tonight.

She said she was going to drive first because she can't get out of Mass fast enough and her DH won't drive fast enough for her liking.

LOL! As I said in her folder, I hope she took some Vioxx for that finger she's holding up. Man, I know that feeling of not being able to get out of there fast enough in the winter.

Are they going I-95? That makes sense, for some reason I thought they would take 81 to I-95. Ummmmm, calculating here, if they actually got on the road by 6:00AM, drove 12 hours at breakneck speed, its very possible they could reach North Carolina by tonight. Rats! <changing vote to NC>

Let's just hope she doesn't get caught by any speed traps.

I know Grooch. And, I hope they have clear weather.
Ok, now I have to get outside for a bit, I live in Florida, wtf am I doing inside on a day like today?

Bat called last night, AI was just starting so I couldn't talk to her. (How pathetic am I?) She made it to NC last night. Whoo! Hoo! :)

Woo Hoo!! They really booked it!!! Did she think she would make it down there by tonight?
I'm sure she understood about AI, Groochie
