WOOHOO...Good to know that people are arriving safe and secure. Sounds like the weather sucks, but hey cant have it all. I looked over the extended forcast and it looks like there will not be any rain. That is great for us who are silly enough to wait in line all night for George!!!
May the force be with us at the HICC!!!!

Yep -- said the manufacturer hadn't gotten them done correctly, so they wouldn't be available. It's a shame.

l'll be staying there and arriving Thursday morning.
EEEP! I leave tomorrow!  And I just realized what I forgot to get while I was out yesterday; Toothpaste and shampoo.  My only chance now is to snag something from one of those hotel vending machines; or just stop off at a store before I come home and finish packing.

I HAVE ARRIVED...
The hotel is swimming in fans and you see us everywhere. We got in around 11, and we went to the Con. IT IS HUGE!!! MAKE SURE YOU WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES, ALOT, AND I MEAN ALOT OF WALKING!!!
Will Call was not as bad as we thought it was going to be. We were in and out very quickly and then we went and got our free goody bag, and purchased a program. We saw some people walking around with store stuff, but hey, with two kids, tomorrow will be just fine. Plus you can purchase an extra action figure, because it is fan day!!!
The hotel food is really good and very reasonable for LA. Our bill, for 4 of us was $35 plus tip. The kids ate for free!!!
I CANT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE...IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY EXCITING TIME, PLUS EVERYONE IS SO NICE...BUT WORD OF WARNING...SOME PEOPLE ON THE STREET DO POKE FUN AT US, JUST IGNORE THEM, THEY ARE PROLLY JEALOUS THAT WE HAVE LOVE...LOL.

The employees in this hotel were super nice & helpful. We arrived at 11 am on Wednesday and were allowed to check-in a few hours early. The housekeeping staff did a great job. The valet service was quick. And an employee even printed out our boarding passes with no hassle.
We didn't hang out at the hotel because we were either at the con or touring L.A. Although I believe the bar on the 2nd floor was packed each time I passed by it.
The best thing about our room was the shower. The water pressure was so strong, it became my personal massager. I must've taken hour-long sessions. The drainage was so efficient, not an ounce of accumulation. And the hot water never ran out.
Also the short walk to the con was definitely worth it.
Start saving for CV Everyone!

I cant agree with Miarama more...
The showers were awesome, great for a prego woman who walked around all day!!!
The staff was excellent and room service was efficient and so was the restaurant. I had no complaints, except for the channels on the TV, they sucked, thank goodness for laptops...lol.
I was glad to meet some of you in the bar, it was nice to put a face with all the verbage on the threads.
Cant wait to meet you all again at C5!!!
