Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Our wings are not tired.

The front desk person who checked us in commented 3 times on the great rate we got. (not in a negative voice, but a WoW voice) Normal rate is over $200 plus $ for internet. It really is lovely. More pictures to follow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks for the pics, Laura.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ooh, that frst pic is really pretty, Laura! I SO wish I was there (even though not going was fiscally absolutely the right decision.)

Nonian! Congratulations! I am so pleased for you, and I hope that all goes well for you and all those you love in your life!

More pictures, but not too many. We went for a nice long ride out to the mountains. Saw people water skiing at the park, saw lots of snow. Lovely day. And soon I get to see Nicole and Suzi!

Yay dcp! See you soon.

Nicole and Suzi have talked us into going to Red Rocks in the morning. Like sunrise time early. Not so bad since our internal clocks are still on east coast time.

We had a lovely dinner. No picture of the 4 of us since I left the memory card for the camera in my computer. Ooops.

That's a good suggestion, I'd like to join in. When/where to meet?

eta: Check-in complete. I'm over on the south side, room 217.

The status is NOT quo.

So now I can say that the main reason we couldn't come to the F2F was that I'd been plotting for a vacation on the cheap up in the PNW with ND, and the only week we were both free and I could get the great deal on the little cabin I found on the Oregon coast was this week...it was a surprise, so I couldn't say anything before now, but that's why we are here and not in Denver. Sad to miss the F2F, but the Oregon coast is ND's favorite place, and he hadn't been here in seven years. So...yeah. At least we're getting some mini-F2F up in Portland and Seattle, where we are briefly passing through to see friends.

ND and I have had three blissful days together away from work and stress, and it's been so nice. This is our first vacation together that didn't involve visiting family or me tagging along when he was working since our honeymoon.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Ooh, Oregon coast!! So pretty. If you're near there, head over to the aquarium in Newport--it's really cool.
