I am glad that you will be able to make it.
Unfortunately, I think there will only be a handful of us.
No one has Freepmailed me to secretly tell me that they are coming. The reverse is true. People have Freepmailed me to tell me they have to bail for one reason or another.
Unless a number of people have Freepmailed Defconw secretly to say they are coming, the only people we can count on are the people who have recently posted on this thread something sort of specific about their plans.
I had asked people to keep Defconw in the loop, as she is the one who knows about the restaurants in the area. I don’t know who has told her what.
I will be arriving late on Wednesday. I am not traveling alone, so I cannot easily speak for how much I can get together right now.
It was Saturday the 12th that we were primarily going to meet up. I can plan to have that whole day free. On Sunday, I must allow time to take my aunt to church or I will never hear the end of that. Since I will have driven through five other states to get to S.D. and five states to get back, with a stop for a few days in Sioux Falls, I was sort of planning to not do much running around on Sunday because I don’t want to get exhausted.
I would need to first be able to plan for who needs what kind of pick up or drop off to the airport and what the arrival and departure times are for that before making other plans for getting together outside of Saturday.
I suppose it is possible that some people reading this thread may plan late in the game to fly in for the weekend now that we have offered to do pick-ups and drop offs. If you are planning that, please try to book someplace close to where Meyer or I are staying so we don’t have to run around too much.
Yes, C-the-C and I ought to be able to provide some transportation over the meeting weekend. I’m going to plan on going “solo” on Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday, but if you’re flying in and need a ride, or want to meet up early, let us all know.
I will be leaving Saturday and probably won’t be in a position to respond to any postings until Tuesday morning, so if you need a ride, please post about it before Saturday.
I won’t be in S.D. until Wednesday evening.
