Methinks Mr. Stevie will have quite a harem as he is one of the few forumeer scallywags in attendance!!

Ahoy....What is business casual for pirates, again???? Never have heard. My suitcase is being packed so if a faux paus is in the process let me know soon, mateys.

I also  think business casual for men in Arizona is nice ironed shorts, a polo and leather sandals - for women it is longish cuffed shorts, up scale tee, necklace and sandals. Dressy here for men is Dockers, Tommy Bahama shirt and nice loafers. Women it is just about anything. LOL.

Last time I wore a dress was probably in 2003, also. Weldon's coat will be dusty, but can't wait to see him all dressed up! ;-)

Take care all and safe journey. We leave around 11 Pacific time.

I wish sooooooooooo much I was attending  :'( :'(  As you all know my FIL is terminal and almost at the end.  Duty calls.

Lots and lots of pictures please so I feel like I am there with all of you. 

Anne Marie

You have NOOOO clue how much you were able to be there... NO clue! xoxoxoxoxo

Mary, "Business Casual" out here on the Good Coast usually means along the lines of nice slacks (Dockers or such), nice top, no flip flops, etc.

Been running a TOTAL muck today... and still have yet to pack and leaving for airport early.  Go figure.

Mary, you all need to do a trip to Bawsten.... :)  And glad the "defination" helped. Still not packed here. Brutal day for me and trying to take a major deep breath to conquer packing. Me thinks to pack only a toothbrush and clean undies... will you all pick on me if I wear the same Business Casual for the entire trip?  It will help me with packing :D

To the many forumites attending the AN symposium  ~

I'm pretty busy today but I'm thinking of you folks and having a few pangs of regret that I couldn't join you in Chicago.  Since that was impossible, I just wish you all a great time and like everyone else who couldn't make it, I'll look forward to photos and 'reports' on the events and festivities taking place, both official and 'unofficial'.  :)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
