THE 5TH TA TAS SISTERHOOD REUNION IN VEGAS BABY!!!

Arkiemama - I am blonde but I hate making airline reservations and usually try to put it off on my dh which doesn't work in my favor as he thinks flying at 6 am is normal - NOT!

We use Expedia.com for checking flights.  You can't check Southwest on Expedia.com but can go to their website directly.  However, SheChirple as already posted that it is more expensive to fly Southwest.

BUT....always factor in the cost of the suitcase!  That adds another $50 to your roundtrip flight cost whereas Southwest does not charge for the first 2 bags.

I keep going to Aria's site and just looking at the pics

I am sooo looking forward to this!

  sorry to have to tell you all this but something has come up the same weekend as Vegas and I will have to bale out of coming.  I had not purchased my airfare yet which was a good thing....I am sure you all will have a blast without me....I will miss all the dancing!!!!

Jamie - I'm also thinking about going too! Not sure yet, know NO ONE- but sounds so much fun! If its anything like meeting (through cyberspace) the BCO ladies from different forums, it should be fantastic! Question would be how to convince DH that I might need this as much as I need next stage in my recon!?? LOL

Hi Catie...I am like you.  I don't know a single person.  It sounds like a lot of fun.  We should consider it.  I haven't mentioned it to DH yet either.  I did PM fredntan and I believe she is looking for a roomie or roomies.  What do you think?  Jamie

Catie and Downey: this group grew as a group of total strangers.  It was very difficult for me to make the leap in last year. Who leaves their home to go join total strangers in Las Vegas, share a room! and even share a bed!! It's a true leap of faith.

It was wonderful. There were about 50 ladies.  I'm sure I did not get to meet them all.  I did have 3 roomies, each a little different form the next, but everyone a true lady.  We had adjoining rooms to the morning coffee.  There were several groups that just naturally paired up to activities they shared.  You will find a few that you really really click with, some maybe not so much. But, it is such a wide diverse group you are virtually guaranteed to have fun.

I went to Vegas in 2007 to meet up with 27 women from BCO chat. I had met only one in person before that! It is so true you just naturally gravitate toward women you have the most in common with. That trip was one of the best vacas I ever had, and a big reason why I'm sooo psyched to meet a whole new group of possible friends. That...and the fact that it's Vegas baby!!!

Linda, I am so sorry you will not be with us in Vegas. We will miss you  and I hope you are doing well.

Welcome to all the newbies, it will be great to meet you.  

Working on the thrusday night preparty. Now I am getting really excited.  Mom is heading to Vegas tomorrow morning.  Do you beleive she is going without me.  I am so disappointed. I hope she has fun.

Hugs, Cheryl

I wanna ride the bull.  Haven't done it in years. But, I'll be 4 months post DIEP, so I'll have to see how I'm feeling. 

its a mechanical bull right?

For our newbies....just to be clear...sister Jancie has a horse named Jazzy who has been known to be a little difficult and temperamental.  But our sister named Jazzy is 1 in a million babe!!!! 

Hey Susie Q we need a countdown!!!!!

gbusse, I just sent you a message with my info! I'll take pics of the bullriders from the sidelines, assuming I'm not sidetracked by some hot stud (with bad eyesight!)

LOL LOL  I was just posting gonna post the countdown!!  Been 5 weeks since my last grouping of surgeries & still showing the Dr.'s that I'm not normal!! Feeling so much better & have lost 30 lbs so far-amazing when your body does what it's suppose to!! Just a quickie note to you newbies, I'm not just dealing with Cancer,but I'm still here & fighting all the way!!

Can you all say 98 days till Vegas!!! Get some Sun!! Do some Dancing!! Have a lot of Fun!! 5th TA TA SISTERHOOD REUNION!!!!  WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I've caught up with the post's & let me tell you, leaving early on Sunday, we all missed so much last year, Jazzy got us a great deal, but were "THE BRAT PACK"..Laura gave us the name  (Jazzy, Clare & me)... staying till Monday now!! Sooooo, try to stay if you can!!  Those that are still there on Monday hook up for a  breakfast/lunch visit till we all have to leave for our flights! Clare & I rode a fake bull last year...well I tried anyway...it was  the one by the mile shop if I remember correctly at a resturant.

Take care  Chow  GOD BLESS   {{HUGS}}  XOXO Susie

Bull riding sounds fun - but don't think my back will handle it.  I too would be a spectator taking pictures.  Would like to try riding a horse again though - need a quiet sleepy mule for the first try though not Jancie's Jazzy!!
