I am also being tempted by the Ecuador trip. I will have to look at those dates on the work calendar
Unfortunately, even without looking at the work calendar, I am pretty sure I won't be able to make it to Laura's birthday party because of scheduling issues, which just really really sucks and makes me unhappy.
Y'all are going to have to take pictures of the Andean condors for me.
I can't either - it's the first weekend of parades and I have so much to do! I'm sorry, Laura!
Consider me in for Ecuador, Brenda. June 24 works for me. I'm bringing my passport info with me to NYC in case I need it to book.
(If we need to do a different date, I've got conflicts with the 8/5/14, 9/2/14, and 11/25/2014 departures.)
Ecuador is SOOOO tempting but there is just no way I could do it.
Yay! June still works for me.
My tentative schedule for travel the rest of Feb. is below. I still need to book some hotels:
Mountain View: Tues. Feb 18 - Fri. Feb 21
San Francisco: Fri. Feb 21 - Thurs. Feb 27
Los Angeles: Thurs. Feb. 27 - Sun. Mar 2 (Escapade!)
Shrift, if you don't mind animals in the house, we have a guest room you're more than welcome to use. It's comfy. We live in Pasadena, though, so if you wanted to be closer to the water, we aren't the best choice. We are near Allyson and Kristen's place and Kat and family, however. We will both be working a lot of the time, so you could just use it as a place to crash.
Thanks for the offer, Pix! I am booked at the con hotel for Escapade while I'm in LA, which is the only hotel I have lined up right now, amusingly enough.
