Thanks Meghan.

I am hoping to make it. My brother lives in Boce/Boyton Beach area, and I might fly down and stay with him for the weekend, and drive up to this on saturday and sunday.

[Meghan]

We are going to have a great time, Promise!

[skizot]

I am going and I hope to have a co-worker, also a member here join me as well.

[Smokin]

Hopefully I am not the only one with a regular car. Last year a little out of place so they hid me.

[SRHTX]

Well, I hate to say it but, I will not be able to join everyone this year. I really can't leave my area since I do not know who much more time my grandfather will be around.

I wish I could go to meet everyone. I guess I will just have to wait until 2011.

Going to have to make name tags for all that are going to Df this year.
