Colleenz will be in Appleton off and on. Anyone want to meet up with her in Appleton on one of her stays if we can work out dates? I'm not sure if she's got wheels so we'd be coming to her. Mods, if there's a better place to post this, feel free to move it. I'm also posting a thread on WIR as I don't know where all the Wisconsinites hang out on this board.  The Illinois folks are welcome too but well, it's Appleton.  |

Awww, bummer. I'd do Milwaukee from Boston, but Appleton?? No way.  Hope you folks do meet up and survive.  |

I'll have a car, but usually busy days. (Typed as I sit in the conference room b/c we don't start until 10 today  ) |

I will definitely be back in mid July, but very likely before that too.

Beth what do you have in mind? Are we spending the night or going there & back same day?
GRG I live 10 minutes from the airport I can pick you up and we can head to Appleton. Milwaukee airport is realy easy to get in and out of. |

I didn't have anything definite in mind beyond meeting up. I suck at planning stuff. For me, a same day thing is probably best. But Colleen is staying in a hotel, so if you wanted to stay overnight, that's doable. |

I just checked and it's about 3 1/2 hours from where I live to Appleton. I'd be up for it depending on the date. Since I'd be coming alone, I'd probably stay at a hotel.

Will the discussions be about Wisconsin things and done with Wisconsin accents? Sounds like a blast.  |

I don't have a current passport, so unfortunately, I cannot make it.

You would go though Oshkosh. There's a bunch of discount malls there, I think. I hate shopping so while I know there's some in that general vicinity, I can't say where. And the state's best cheese factory is near there too. Zittau (pronounced Zita) has the Union Star Cheese Factory. My family's been stopping there for cheese for 45+ years. Squeaky cheese curds! |
