tough choices

Nov 12, 2010 01:11

It looks like I have enough frequent flyer miles for ONE trip to the US in 2011. I REEEEALLY want to go to the symposium at Williamsburg. More than Costume College, I think more than Costume Con (Boston), more than the CSA symposium... but I also haven't seen my parents in a couple of years or the SF Bay Area and all my friends. Then there's all ( Read more... )

A bunch of us (Kendra, Cynthia, Cathie, me, & prob. Sarah & Francis) are going to W'burg a couple days before the symposium to hang out in costume. That's all I can help ya with bec. alllll those things sound worthy!

The longer I'm away, the longer the "to do" list gets for when I go back.

Hubby put in his vote today and supports CoCo within a longer west-coast trip...

Don't think I'll be able to make it to Williamsburg in March but I do want to go at some point over the next year or two. CoCo I'm undecided on but since I plan on doing a lot of costuming this year (no really!) it's a definite possibility.

Yay - so maybe our plans will over lap! I would love that. :)

Tough call! Personally, I would eliminate Costume Con off the bat.

If you go to Costume College, you've already done it and know what to expect. The exciting thing about 2011 is that we're expecting some VIPs: Bess, Jen Thompson, and Lindsey Eastman. And if you're on that coast, it's easier for you to hop around and see your daughter, SF, Seattle....

With Williamsburg, there is an opportunity to make our own vacation out of it. Sure, there will be the conference itself to focus on, but there will be pre-conference costumey fun. Sadly, those plans aren't firmed up yet--but I'm 99.99% there will be at least a couple of days of lounging in costume/visiting Williamsburg/going to dinner in historic establishments.

Since I'm planning to go to both, I'm impartial because I would still get to see you. ;)

So many good points about the west coast. More birds with one stone. Hubby weighed in with the same thoughts. Thanks and I'll be so happy to see YOU again! :)

Oooohh!! - difficult decision.

I shall be quite selfish about my suggestion - come to CoCo!! It would be so lovely to see you again.

I would certainly love to come to Williamsburg one year - be fun to have a few 18th century frocks.

Looks like the scales are tipping toward CoCo! It would be so great to see you there. :) (back to researching and planning...)
