The next 2 weeks are going to be so hectic for me.  I'm in the office Mon. & Tues.  We leave early Tues. for our regular dance lesson.  Then hubby is taking me directly to the airport. I'll spend the night in a hotel nearby because I have an early flight on Wed. morning.  (If I had to drive, I'd have to leave home before 4 a.m. and we'd end up with 2 cars at the airport after Thanksgiving)  I'm meeting my friend, who's flying in from Kansas City, in LA and we're renting a car and driving to San Diego where we have a convention.  The convention is the busiest for me, just after the one that I organize myself for my job.   

We'll return to LA on Sunday morning and spend some time there.  I have 4 hours of lessons scheduled at Sherman Oaks on Monday, and I hope to have at least one meal at Fratelli's while I'm there.   Early Tuesday, I fly out to Denver to meet hubby and spend Thanksgiving with our son and new grand-dog.   We fly home on Friday when our son has to go back to work.   I have 3 days at home, including one in the office (although thankfully no jury duty!), and on Monday night we will go spend the night at the airport.   Hubby has an earlier flight than me on Tuesday morning for a meeting in Washington.   

My flight to Miami is late morning.  We have been promised a special dinner with the DWM fam upon arrival.  I think I will be beside myself with excitement.  I have been working out to get ready and plan to keep up with no problem.   I'm still working on being able to do 10 sit ups.    Hubby is flying in late Friday night and will go to the Sat. evening show & after party with me, but he'll have an early flight on Sunday morning.   

 I'll post when I'm able, but certainly an update when I return.   I may be too exhausted to do it while I'm there.  I know in June, after returning to my hotel from 4 hours of lessons, I so wanted to take a hot bath, but I was afraid that if I got in the tub and relaxed, I wouldn't be able to get out by myself.  And that would be too embarrassing.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

 

I was going to suggest something like this!
 

I won't be back on this evening.  Have a great night, everyone.

Tomorrow's the show already!! 

Vmmom, hope to hear from you for your picks.

Oh and I do agree with you that I too believe that Maks is a kind and gentle sole and I know he is a hard worker and appreciated all that he has been given since he came to America...
