Yup, Ginger, another great one. I used Kayak to book my hotels in London.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Neither of the trips I previously committed to overlap this, so funds permitting, I'm going.
This will be my first F2F. Be gentle. Do I need a secret password?

Do I need a secret password?
Yes. But we call it a "safeword."

Well, this just gets better and better!

What is even happening?
Zen, I've never been, but the safeword (or unsafe -- perspective depending) seems to be, "Too much candy."

Well, I should let you know that me & Jilli won't be able to make it this year. It's not the timing, it's not the location, we're just having to penny-pinch for the foreseeable future.
I will look forward to the oodles of posts, though.

I used Yahoo Maps to find out about the driving distance today and it told me I should be able to make the trip in 6 hours. So apparently there's a massive space warp somewhere along US 78 that cuts the distance in half.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's supposed to be only 9-10 hours' drive from DC. We may try that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm going to be 8 months pregnant. Y'all have fun without me though!

We drove to the Washington F2F.
Yahoo maps thinks it's 4 hours from Atlanta to Nashville, and I did manage that once -- at 70 mph all the way, with no traffic and no stops. Normally it takes at least 5 hours. I'd guess Memphis at more like 8, and that's if you're not trapped by the traffic black hole that is Chattanooga.
For the people driving, the hotel has a free parking lot with about 20 spaces, and after that there's street parking.
