Was going to MQS, but now not sure. update

[quilted charm]

Well, I had planned on leaving for Kansas Tuesday evening, but my friend that was going with me had to back out. I thought about going alone, but she had booked the hotel and she cancelled it already. Still thinking about going, but not sure what to do. Just kinda bummed, and wanted to pout without hurting anyones feelings.

I am going after all! Peggy from Tx has invited me to room with her, so I am so ready to get there now!! Thanks to everyone that responded.

Hi Leslie,

Pout away! I'd be bummed to if she canceled at the last minute and then canceled the hotel without letting me know first. If you can wait, there's always MQX west in the fall!

[Guest Linda S]

Whoa! BUMMER. Couldn't she have held the room and let you put it on your credit card? What an inconsiderate thing to do! Well. (Huff!). I hope you can find a room and go and have a good time. I'd be pretty upset if that happened to me.

[Quilting Heidi]

I'd be bummed too. I hope it works out for you.

If you already signed up for classes, go with the roommate list. You might find a good friend! I went to DeLoa's camp by myself and had a blast!!!

Leslie,

I am pouting too, but not because my roommate canceled on me. I did not make plans to go to MQS this year, but made plans to go to the Milwaukee Quilt Show in August. I really want to do a road trip this week, see the quilts, hit the vendor mall and go home. But it is 7 hours to get there......

Hope you find a roommate so you can still go.

Call about the roommate list and go anyway. I'm looking forward to meeting as many people from this forum as I can when I get there. If you need a friend we'll get together and have dinner!

[quilted charm]

Thanks everyone. I did email Cindy about the roommate finder, like Carmen suggested. I sent it today though, so I haven't heard back yet.

My friend didn't cancel the room just because she wasn't going, but because at first I said I wasn't going to go alone, so she really didn't do anything inconsiderate. I just never like to do anything alone, so I waited two days to let her know I was thinking about going anyway.

I'm still thinking about it, but need to find out about a room, and how to get there from the airport. If I get there, I hope to meet some of you. I really want to go, it's my first show!

Last year I ended up going alone as my traveling companion's husband became ill at the last minute. I was so busy at taking classes I hardly knew I was alone.

Leslie, what time doesa your plane come in on Tues ? I will be there picking up Linda [Ramona-quilter] Maybe the planets will align ! :P Glenda

I am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn next door to the convention center. I arrive on Wed and have the room through until Sunday, but I was thinking of checking out Sat morning.

I have two queen beds, so You could stay with me. starting Wed or we could see if I can add a night at the beginning for you. I won't be there until Wed.
