I'm certainly interested, and I can probably get to any of the three cities on the table.

One question: What's required to be point person at the site? Because I'm not sure I'm the right person to be responsible for that, if Philly is chosen. I just wanted to pimp it as a good place to go, but now I'm wondering if I signed up for something I didn't realize.

I'm a non discusser and poll answerer.

I have a schedual that means most of the time I can leave on a Thursday eve and head home on monday

I don't really care what city we are in. I only want a hotel that I can eat in, if I need to . I prefer places with public transport, but if I can get to and from the airport, I'm ok.

and DH has a stupid job. and his time off is really limited.

If we go east we should see his family. He has elderly parents, but can we swing the extra time. and i have family back east too. soooo it gets a little complex

and there there are the dollars.There have been some unplanned expenses.

And even though I have wanted to go to every F2F,I've only made it to two.

So, interested, but in no way shape or form able to commit.

Javachick - thank you for an awesome list of things to do in Philly, and fantastic hotel research. From London, even. Seriously, just - thank you.

You really did, java. Above and beyond. Thank you so much.

I've not joined in because I don't know if I can financially swing it and there are a few (okay, several) balls up in the air about my schedule for this summer. Since I don't know if I'll be able to go due to either schedule or money or both, then I can sit back and see how things shake out.

Although I would love to go, especially NYC or Philly. Due to new job, I won't have vacation time until November or so.

I am highly interested and have been doing the polls but have no useful input in this thread aside from wheeeee! i lucked out with awesome vacation time this year and will likely be on the east coast visiting with the fam during most of the potential weekends, so it'll just be a matter of slipping away from VA.

Quick update: Le Meridien Philadelphia has no accessible rooms (it's in an old Georgian building with no lifts) so I've cancelled that bid.

Thank you, but stop working, Java! Go play!

Final date vote for F2F 2010, winner takes all: Click here to vote.

Poll will be open for three days until 3/21, Sunday.

I'm definitely interested, and hopeful I can swing time off this year since work exploded right at the time I was signed up for vacation last year and I ended up losing leave time at year's end. (Father's Day weekend was my only absolute no-can-do date; Dad's 74 and has already outlived all the men of his family for generations back, so there's no way I'm skipping out on one of these holidays.) Money will be the determining factor for me.
