Not sure about going yet. Money isn't an issue - got money in my budget for both training and travel expenses. Don't really need permission.
I am trying to get a good friend of mine to go with me. Her cousin lives in Denver, so we could stay with her making it even cheaper. She's outgoing as all get out, so that would help me not be a little shy turd when I'm there. She's the one thats a planner in WI that I mention occasionally. The thing is, she just got a new director and there are a few people in her department, so she is going to try to talk the new dept head into letting her go.
OK, to make a short answer longer - I was only going to go if she was, but now I am thinking that I will go anyway, since this might be my last year without babies. BUT, then I don't really want to go by myself either (see post about being shy). ((This coming from a person who went to Europe by herself for two months)).
Anywho..... I guess the short answer is that I am still undecided.
