On these threads we laugh, cry, pray, and most of all we bond. So a few of us thought, wow wouldn't it be nice to get together and have some FUN!! I think after all we have been through we absolutely deserve it!! So Vegas became the most talked about suggestion. It is certainly the cheapest and most entertaining. We are planning for the last weekend of Friday September 25th-28th. We are still in the early stages of planning. Suggestions are TOTALLY welcomed and I will update weekly. This will be a celebration!! Im thinking laying out by the pool, shopping, dancing, shows, buffets, gambeling (if you dare)
and maybe even a little spa treatment. But most of all celebrating sisterhood!! We will be in a hotel located on the strip. If you would like to join us please PM me and I will be happy to add you to our list. Thanks and I will see you in VEGAS!

Oh boy ~ I would love to go, not sure we could swing it. We just went to Vegas in January 08. I have been there five times and I love it! Last time we were there we spent seven hours on the same six machines and had the best time ever! Any hotels in mind? |

Hi Ladies, Okay now that I can focus, lets talk about how many to a room. We could do double rooms and sleep 4 to a room. And if someone has to absolutely have their own bed there may be cots or a couch in the room. We can work that out later. I am researching several hotels on the strip that my airline does business with and I will keep you all up to date. Keep in mind in regaurds to how many in a room.....we dont plan on being in them much at all!! BTW Laura, congrats on being #1 to post here on our exciting new thread!! Luv ya ladies, Tracey Life is not just about surviving the storm, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Tracey - Do you know about how much the rooms will be? I personally am a terrible sleeper. NO ONE would want to share a bed w/ me - night sweats, flip flopping and all. My dh doesn't even like sleeping with me (he he). So, I think I would be better share a two bed room w/ another person. But it will depend on the cost. Just a thought. :) - Jean Laura -How was your visit w/ your grandkids?!? Prophylactic Bilateral Mastectomy w/ Tissue Expanders - December 2008

I will be fine sharing a bed with someone. If I get on my back during the night I might start snoring but all you have to do is punch me and I will turn on my side. My DH lost sleep when I HAD to sleep on my back during recovery from surgeries.....he knew he could not punch me hehehehe......I was wondering if I could bring my little electric fan? I use it every night blowing on me to help get though the hot flashes....I even took it to the hospital when I had my MX/recon. Took extension cord and had it sitting on my bed with me.....a life saver.....the airlines might think it is a bomb...and make me throw it in the trash...I had a new client in yesterday and she just moved here from Vegas. She raved about it.....loves it. She flies back and forth a lot and said that it could cost me $300+ for roundtrip, that it just depends......I want to fly out of Tupelo instead of driving to Memphis to board.....I am about 4 miles from our airport..... I can be changed by what happens to me. I refuse to be reduced by it. Maya Angelou

I think this is a wonderful idea and I wish I could go but for many reason I can't. But I thought I might mention Tracyz to make sure you let the hotels know you are a group and in this ECONOMIC environment they certainly will give you the really discounted rates!! Have a blast ladies!!!! Best |

I NEED to make a suggestions to you ladies when in Las Vegas.. If you love Italian food and all the wine you can drink.....go to Babtissta's Hole in the Wall... It's behind the Flamingo Hotel off the strip, 1 block, its easily walkable. You need reservations, always busy, but fabulous! Famous people always go there, and very old school Italian. Not expensive $$. For more money $$$$ I recommend Emeril Lagasee's Restaurant at MGM Grand..

You ladies crack me up...you are soooo funny! Okay for anyone who wants their own bed, no worries. As soon as I get a hotel locked in, which I am working on, then we can get a headcount of who all want their own bed and a count of those who dont mind sharing. Of course if you want your own bed it will be more $$, but how much more I am not sure until we get the hotel locked in. I am shopping hotels on the strip that give airline discounts. I should have more info on the hotel by next week. Lexi, thanks for the suggestions. Im gonna write em down!! Deborah, No need to thank me Im gonna have just as much fun as everyone else! LOL Deirdre, Yes indeed we will be getting the best rate possible...thanks! Wish you were going, the more the merry. Laura, have I told you lately how proud I am that you decided to do rads...you are one TOUGH cookie!!! Its gonna be behind ya before you know it!!! Linda, I dont know what else to say other than you crack me up!! You are soooo funny! Beauty and humor all in one package!! Vegas will never be the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv ya ladies! Tracey Life is not just about surviving the storm, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
