loveliberate Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Pamela, I'm certain that someone can host you 2, no problem. It may only be a couch, mattress on the floor or floorspace but everyone will have a place to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Loveliberate is right, there is NEVER and I seriously mean NEVER a problem for forum members staying in Portland for Free. For example...I'm moving in 2 days and in my new house, Jessifly, Speaklow and I can accommodate as many as 10 guests probably (we had 8 at a time in my smaller house). I have extra beds, couches, futons, and extra space. We're a nice bunch here and many others have their homes open for forum members too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I guess this is something that gets sorted out closer to the date? As we're flying in from another country, U.S. customs and the airline will require us to provide an address and phone number of where we're staying, so we'll need to be specific. At least they have required it the other three times I have flown from Canada to the U.S. (It also means our luggage capacity will be restricted, so bringing sleeping bags etc. will not really be an option). We're nervous... we've never been to the West Coast! I'm also nervous to drop $1,200-$1,500 on plane tickets without a solid plan. But it's good to know it shouldn't be a problem.

gkleinman Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 After my trip to Asia and my upcoming trip to Alaska I've tapped out the trip fund, but I will absolutely be involved with the Portland end of VV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm sorry to Tashie and others who I told I would come, but we won't be coming this year. We have bought a new house and will be moving around that time. So no vacation this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyvegan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Unfortunately I won't be able to go to VV this year.I have been made redundant again, and can't justify a trip to the USA when I don't have money coming in. I was looking forward to this a lot, and have left the decision as late as possible, just in case the situation changed, but it is pretty clear now it wont...

robert Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 sydneyvegan, We were so happy to have you last year.....to be honest, I've had some of the greatest comments about you....I hear it from a variety of my friends, that you were one of their favorite people and one of the highlights of their experience....I even heard it from Tasha when I was up in Canada last week. I know it is a super expensive trip so I didn't expect you to come back to back years. We're so glad you came last year and hope to meet up again in the future! We'll miss you but you've already made a positive lasting impression on many of us here, and we thank you for coming last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm surely going to mess you this year You were the one of the people who got out of bed in the mornings.while everyone else was in bed sleeping. I'm sorry to hear you can't come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andesuma Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I will be in Portland for that time period... so I'm definitely in(if I haven't replied toconfirm officially?). I'll be around for at least one or two days for the cabin (not staying,just visiting), and for some of the Portland days. Though I'll be up in Seattle on the 26th. Are we going to wear forum member name tags??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
