1st ever Curbing Consumerism Vegas In March Meet...vote for wknd...

[Loganz]

okay ladies - we did it, we picked Vegas in 2011, and we picked March.

I am in charge of Hotels - will keep all abreast, I have asked for people to PM me their budget per night...so far, everyone is in-line with one another.

If you intend to stay solo - or with a SO that is cool - those of us who will be buddying up will be told the rates for rooms that accomodate anywhere from 2-5 people. It is possible that only 5 of us would want to share rooms....in that case - the 5 of us could swing a very nice suite based on what I learned today...so, I will be keeping you all posted about hoteln options.

Dusty is in charge of assisting with airlines...if you need help PM her.



So - now is time to nail down the weekend in march and whether the majority want to fly in wends-sun or Thurs-Sun.

You can vote more than once in this poll, so, if you are flexible let it be known.

Allison: No, no craps for me! Blackjack and slots.

I'm voting, but it's a tentative vote because I don't know my teaching schedule yet.

Again, the last weekend is when March Madness begins, so if that weekend is selected, I think I will pass. I don't like going during that because it is full of drunk guys. I will only likely come for 2 nights and I have to check with DH because March is his busy season. I don't know if Deb or Odette will be able to come then either. I think that is busy season for them, too.

I voted for the 1st/3rd weeks of March as DD's b-day is March 8th & the last week may get too hectic for many of you all. whoohoo!!

 

[twiggers]

I voted for two weekends in March, only because I *may* be committed to an early March conference....and definitely have a conference first weekend of April.

I'm fine with either Wed/Thurs....my flight will be about 5 hours. I'll check out prices now (fortunately I can fly out of MIA or FLL).

 

[twiggers]

Allison: I agree....it'll be crazy and I have to travel later that week too (leave Tuesday/Weds for Montreal).

i think i voted for the first two weekends - lol - but i could probably do any.

this is so exciting! i hope when/if i get a new job it doesn't screw this up =/

Airfare for me right now looks like $450. Ugh! BUT I'm sure it will not be that.... long way out.

If you have a new job state up front that you have a vacation booked, usually they will accomodate that provided you have given them the forewarning!

After Summer it will come down...I won't even look at mine until September/October.

 

[Vegas Long Legs]

Luvshop - how dare a job interfer with traveling! lol

OK this kind of defeats the purpose of a Curbing Consumerism meet.
But there is a great jewelry show here from Feb 27 to Mar 2nd 2011.
*runs out of thread*

You don't want to be here during March madness.

 

[Loganz]

Good intel VLL - so basically, guys we want to shoot for either the 1st or 2nd wknd....(the first 4 options listed).

 

[twiggers]

LOL...yea, I'm @ $500 as well. Spirit is $350, but I refuse to fly a company that charges for a carry-on.

I'll probably hold out until January/February.

 

[twiggers]

Or the third weekend???
