In GC 8/7-10. Who else will be there?

Still trying to decide between Marriot and Westin. I've stayed at both and preferred the Westin during visit trips because it was bigger and made being stuck in the hotel a bit easier. But now that I'm picking up and will be venturing out..........

I also like the Marriott's food better........
And it's cheaper
Hmmmmm

I wish I was there (coming back with Sarah, of course--glad I am done!) so I could meet you and Ivanna! I am glad that this ordeal is almost over for you. BTW FYI, we were given a questionier at the embassy, asking us to rate our agency, facilatator, etc.
We loved the Marriott and Trent got us a great rate!

Barb, you guys make a gorgeous couple! I'll be looking for you at the Marriott. I've decided to stay there but will definitely stop by the Westin to say goodbye to the staff there that Ivanna and I have gotten to know during my previous visits.
