Sweetz - congrats on the job interview!! I wish you the best of luck and will understand if that keeps you from going. My problem is it's one day before my husband birthday and I'm not sure if I'll have the money but at this time I want to go. Just in case though better make alternative plans in case I can't go.

So.....if you're not working, or can get the time off, I'll pick you up then we can find out where Singlesu is and no hon, you don't have to ride on the hood or anything, I have plenty of room! Then we'll head to Jordan's for meatballs and then head up to D.C. I do need to plot the route out on the Internet so I can figure exactly what states I will be coming through and see if there is anyone else I can take along, like I said I can fit 8 people comfortably - 10 in a pinch and I can go nearly 700 miles on a tank of diesel so.....I really hope I can put this together. I think it would be so neat to meet all of you and somebody had the idea we could pick a spot to meet.

Singlesu - I'll send you another note and get the name of the hotel you were talking about - probably should book now if we're serious.

Hope to see ya'll there............

Edited to add: I see roughnready posted a couple of hotels nearby - thanks! That's actually very reasonable and we could double up in a pinch - girls/girls - guys/guys of course.
