And staying home would save lots of money. No point in going if we don't do the things that make a visit fun for us.

Poll schmoll. Plane tickets purchased, hotel reserved, time off confirmed, we'll be there December 16-20. We should be in quite the festive mood, as I'll be down to the 1 year mark. Oh, and the 16th is my birthday. Yay me! Might be too close to the holidays for people to feel inclined toward meet-ness, but we would be interesting in hanging with anyone that wants to hang with us. (Maybe BT won't be distracted by playoffs this time.) I'll try to remember to bump this again closer to the actual time.
