| | | I'd also love to come. I missed an opportunity to go to Myrtle Beach a few years ago. I'll be saving my $$. Plus, that was a working trip I missed -- this will be far superior!

Of course...there's the problem if you love to shop, you may blow your pocketbook, lol. There's tons of great shopping, some amusement parks, Ripley's aquarium, etc.
I'd love to have alot attend even if it's just for a day or two (preferably Monday as I think that will be the official big dinner night.)

| | | I was so excited to see that there was going to be a meeting within traveling distance (I live right outside of Charleston SC) until I saw the dates. As much as I would love to come that is the same week that we plan on flying back to Idaho to see my parents and to let them meet the first (and only) great grandson!
I hope to hear about it online though - I am just sorry I will have to miss it!

| | | I am going to see if I can do the drive by myself from Montreal (furthest I've driven alone is 8 hours - have driven to Myrtle Beach which is about 16 hours with my hubby).
To be by the beach is what has got me excited - love the ocean. Have a friend who may let me stay with them if her house isn't rented out for the season.
How soon do you need to know that we'll be attending?

Or I might just cancel due to lack of interest.

| | | MB is a definite possibility for me as we usually go once or twice a year anyway. We prefer going during the "off-season" if such a thing exists anymore. I will confer with my wife and give more definitive answer soon.

| | | Sorry about the double post but I didn't see an edit button.
My wife thinks it would be a great idea to go to Myrtle Beach and meet the folks from these forums.
I just wish there was more interest from others here. From what I am seeing there appears to be maybe 2 or 3 at most that seem to want to go. In any case my wife and myself will be there if this event is a go. We are both very interested in meeting others with diabetes especially since we are so new to all of this. And even more so because the members here appear to be such a amiable group of individuals.

My "ride partner" can't attend anymore and so now the burden on the $20/gallon (ok, it will seem like it) gas might be too much for me to handle. Right now alot with me attending has to do with the interest level and the price of gas by the end of spring.
If I don't get to Myrtle Beach I may try to head south a little bit into Tennessee and see who I can get together then. Of course, I'm also considering a cruise in late summer if Myrtle Beach is a no-go.

I should think your mom would be more than welcome to come along with you, if that would help put her mind at ease.
