ah well... enjoy your road trip then! I hope to get there next year - & stay for the vacations, not just the meet-up. I am crossing the ocean so it would be wise to make the most out of it - if Eywa thinks it's correct of course, right now I am not even sure if I get vacations for the meetup dates ... (oh, & thanks so much for your support, I sincerely appreciate it. I might explain more later...)

Ah, thank you, as would I love to see you. The odds are slim but not zero; it's not a trivial jaunt, involving border crossings and overnight stays, and with a baby to share care of at the moment, unlikely. I'm working in a visit to the museum during an annual road trip in a few days though!

Sempu, any chance to see your na'vi soul in your human avatar next year in Seattle??would be nice...
