Friends and Parties and Limos, Oh My!

I've only been home a couple of days from RWA's annual conference held at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, and already I'm wishing it could have been a longer trip!

It's always wonderful to get to spend time with friends and especially when they're writing friends. Eight of the Ditzy Chix managed to finally get together at a conference and had a fabulous time at a celebration dinner for our achievements this year.

It was an especially super trip because, not only did I room with my friend Kathie DeNosky for the first time, we shared the flight from Kansas City to Dallas. We spent as much time as possible talking and laughing and sometimes shed a tear, and quite often shared that time with Kristi Gold and her nifty roomie Vicky Dreiling.

Of course, there's always the party hosted by Harlequin/Silhouette that's one of the big highlights for some of us at conference. This year, several H/S authors went together for a special treat--and some of the Ditzy Chix joined in the ride back to the hotel from the party...in a stretch Hummer limo. Now just how cool is that?!
