I'm hoping to get down this summer, I'm going to mom's and I have a bunch of my playgroup friends that live in Chicago, so I'm hoping to hook up with them again. Some of them I've seen twice now and they really are friends for life.

I'll update you once we get closer to the summer, I'd LOVE to see you!

I have never met a digi friend, but have met friends from my online mommy group. Only ones that live near me though, one 75 miles away and one 250 miles away. I was supposed to meet one when I was in Texas, but she wasn't able to met up after all.

I would travel as far as circumstances allow. If I ever do a trip to the US I would be disappointed if I couldn't meet someone from the digiscrapper world!

Having said that, I have only met one digiscrapper here in Australia and I would loooove to catch up with Fee and Justine but I haven't been up further north.

Considering I travel 50 miles just to shop someplace besides Wal Mart, I'm willing to go the distance to meet online friends. I flew to Detroit a few years back to meet some friends from a mommy board but I'd prefer to drive because I hate flying. 300 miles is probably the furthest I can manage in a car but Amtrak stops only 20 miles away so I can theoretically go to Boston, New York or other major cities on the east coast.

Where in Michigan are you? I'm like 30 minutes from the central IN/MI border.

I think a lot would depend on where it was, if I had another reason to be there/friends to visit, etc.

I'm over on the MI/OH border, between Ann Arbor & Toledo.

Like 5 miles from Cabelas.
