Sounds great, Tom! See you at 3:00!

Anyone interested in the Holocaust Museum before we go to tour with Tom? I plan on ordering tix sometime today or tomorrow for the earliest entrance at 11:00AM.

Our D.C. weekend - ONE WEEK AWAY! I've been tracking the weather, which looks to be excellent!

I'm contemplating joining this get-together. The shuttle isn't priced too badly and the Sofitel looks pretty good too. Plus, a chance to meet new friends and see my old ones - very tempting!

AndreaN:

Stop tempting yourself and and just do it :>)

Hope to see ya

Cheers! Ray & Penny

Andrea, I think you should go....you're practically there already unlike us on this coast. You know you'll have a great time! :)

Well....I have booked my hotel. I'm just waiting to see if Mr. Novick would like to join me!

It would be great to see you again Andrea. I hope you can make it. Tom.

Thanks Tom! We would love to join the ABC News tour.

YEAH Andrea (and maybe J)

Great Andrea - will look forward to seeing you again and meeting Jerel.

Andrea glad you are making it down to DC. Shall see you next Saturday~~~

One week ahead -- the DC getogether!

A WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!! :woh:

I'm getting ready, too!!! :banana: :banana:

If we haven't maxed out the RSVP list, we have 2 friends who would love to join us. They were on the Ngaire's Dover to Monte Carlo cruise with us in August www.worldflyer.net/cruise2006

If we're already maxed out, it's OK also.

Looking forward to meeting everyone next week.

The reservation is maxed out! Wow, this is going to be one BIG party! Can't wait to see you and Tonya again, John, It has been too long since PIP!

Tom has arranged our restaurant reservation, hopefully with some additional, good seats still available!

Our D.C. gathering is turning into quite the LCT event!

The area we have reserved can sit a maximum of 22 people. If Andrea's husband amd John's two friends come that will bring us to 22.

However, 18 is the maximum they can seat at one table so we will have two tables of 11. I think that should work out fine. If we sat everyone at one large table the folks at one end wouldn't be able to talk to the folks at the other end anyway.

I'll have to give the restaurant a number by the end of the week.

Also, is everyone who wants to go to ABC going at 3pm? Is there anyone who wants to go at 2pm? Thanks. Tom.

Hi Tom,

Alan and I are planning 3:00PM. Thank you!

Sounds like you are going to have a fantastic time.

Maybe we can do part 2 next spring? I'm planning on spending Spring Break in DC next March 9-17.

Wishing all of you a fantastic get-together next weekend! Sounds like a wonderful group of LCTers. And we all KNOW what happens when we manage to see each other again ... :hug: :pass: :woh:

Cheers, Anne

Denise sure knows how to throw a party - :ch: :ch: :ch: :ch:

Tom:

If you have a 2pm tour, sign us up for that; otherwise 3pm is fine. We're easy.

Thanks!!

Cheers! Ray

Tom, I'm not sure what time we will be coming. I need to talk with Crystal first. I'll let you know, though.

Tom, the 3pm tour is good for the 4 of us.

Tom- the 3:00 time is okay with us. Carole, Barb and Jan.
We are going to try and check in early and hope that at least one room is ready to go.
We shall be coming via cabs.
Jan

Am I the only one who thinks it is strange that an LCT gathering of this caliber does not have its own name? At this point it is too late for a poll, so I am going to go out on a limb and just suggest "Denise's Party"

We can't wait to see everyone again and meet all those we haven't been able to actually meet in person!

When I was reading my way through the many pages of this thread, I thought the name was 701@7? Denise's Party works too!

Jan,

If your rooms aren't ready when you check in, the bell desk can hold your luggage until your rooms are ready. They will then take your luggage to your rooms for you while you're out.

Arlene,

I'm flattered that you want to name this event "Denise's Party!" I had initially suggested 701@7. I think there may have been one or two other suggestions, that I don't recall right now. Anything works as long as we all have a great time together!

I know, but 701@7 never seemed to catch on! Denise's Party is SO MUCH more descriptive! Sorry if I offended anyone. I didn't mean to cause a problem

Arlene not possible with YOU!!!!!

Hi Arlene,

I agree with Joanna. You could never cause a problem! None of the names suggested stuck and we didn't continue with giving it a name.

Regardless of what our D.C. gathering is called, it will be fantastic!

Tom:

I'll be toting my camera around DC this Sat. and was wondering if photos can be taken while on the tour of the ABC News Room and if not, will there be somewhere to check cameras during the tour.

Thanks!

Cheers! Ray

Hi Tom,

What is the appropriate attire for 701?

Thank you!

Just got my hotel via Priceline. Hyatt Regency, 400 New jersey Ave., Capitol Hill/Convention Center area as price was not acceptable "downtown". Now will have to see how that location relates to activity sites.

Arriving Thur., Sept. 28 and departing Sun., Oct. 1. Also hope to see Civil War Site Antietam.

See ya all soon.

Cheers! Ray & Penny

Count me in on the ABC tour (and I think I can safely say to count in Beth and Randy as well).

Just a few more days....

Yep, count on Randy and me for the ABC tour too. 5 days and counting........
