    First week of November 2015? That's my usual vacation week anyway, so it would be PERFECT for me. Is that a good, albeit very tentative plan?

    2015 might be smart.  It might take that long for me to convince J it's a good idea (he doesn't understand the travel bug, not that he wouldn't want me meeting people) and maybe it's long enough to convince it somehow that it was his idea.  Hmm...
    When you figure it out let me know. That is what would be holding me back. For some reason the guy hates to travel.
    But the first couple of weeks in November would work...that is hunting season after all!

    I mean, I'm not huge on travel, but J makes me seem like I have so much worldly experience.  He just doesn't understand the need, no matter how much I explain.

    YES! I'm so excited this is happening! It doesn't matter to me when in the fall. I just figure at that point we'll have had time to save after the big expensive year this is and our kid will be right around 1.

    I told DH about this possibility and he said "well, you'll be an expert then since we're going this year!"

    I'm totally in! This is going to be amazing! I keep telling DH we need to go to HP world and he's like ok we'll go but he's just not excited enough for me. I was just thinking after our NE GTG this weekend that it would be really neat to meet everyone else and HP world seems like the perfect place for a huge Nestie GTG!!

    We can start really planning later this year, but let's set a general timeframe...October or November 2015? I can't swing September, too busy at work.
    International flights often go on sale around October/November, so I fully support this idea!

    I've never been, so if the flight prices aren't too bad, why not?!

    November sucks here because of the darkness and rain, so I usually plan a one-week last minute trip around that time of year. If I have the vacation days and a decent flight option, an HP NBC GTG sounds like a pretty cool option (and a lot of acronyms)!

    I'm sure there will be plenty of non HP stuff to do. Maybe a little debauchery, at least, I hope so!
