I'd probably travel within New Zealand to meet digi scrappers but if I was over in USA or Canada when a meetup was happening and it was close enough then I would probably go to it as well while I am there.

I insist that you come to Tennessee first!

I would love to do a meet up but I am terrified of traveling outside of my familiar soil here. I panic having to drive in big cities and I hate flying.

I to have met people from my daughter's playgroup, that was a lot of fun, and I keep talking about going to Toronto to meet a bunch more! I am just outside STL, VERY central!

Well, I've arranged two and participated in three digital meet 'n' greets before as well as attended and taught at a digital convention, so I've done a lot of traveling to meet my digi friends. It pays off to not have babies until you're 29 1/2! *lol*

Let's see... I flew to WA and spent 2 weeks with an online friend, drove to DC and spent a long weekend with some digi friends, and drove to Grand Rapids, MI to spend a long weekend with an online friend. I've even been to Emmy's house, but that was pre-Sam and the babies.

I hate the mall. I love Costco though. <3 Let's see..I get my hair done at ULTA and I will probably be going back sometime in the near future for that. I'll let you know when I'll be around. And *I* can be in Buford in 15. I drive like a bat.

Vanessa...I totally should've contacted you when I was up in Alaska. We go up fairly often since DH's siblings are all there.

I drove an hour to San Diego for a little get together with some gals. One of the gals actually lives a few blocks from me...but I don't think she's scrapping anymore (or at least not posting). I flew up to Sacramento (a 9 hour drive from here) to spend time with my sil and parents, and I planned it at the time of a digi scrap get together at Green Tangerine. Traci was there!!

For me, an hour travel is nothing. I told Leila if she moves to Los Angeles, I'll come visit her (that would be a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive).

I'm up for a trip to Vegas though...it's only a 4 hour drive!

and I really do plan to go to Texas this year. I probably won't be in the Dallas area though, and that means I won't see Darcy. Unless....she wants to drive down again to the Austin area! I'll be contacting you Texas girls as soon as I make plans. I don't want to come when it's hot though...so let me know.

I am in Utah, so anyone here I am game to get together. Lydia and I are already talking about it, and I know that Libby is coming this year to see some here!
Let me know if you plan anything during the summer. I am usually in Utah for 3-4 weeks.

I really would love to meet all my friends here, but I'm to far away .... living in Germany makes this nearly impossible.... I have met a German Digi Friend and I want to do this again as soon as the money is not such a problem here

But you are all invited to visit us here in our mill!

I was in Germany last year. I was really hoping to meet up with Sylvie (Sausan Designs). She is about an hour from Stuttgart, but we were only there for a few hours, and then we headed to Basel Switzerland on a bus (we chaperoned my son's band). We came back through and then on to Austria too, but it didn't work out. If we had stayed the night in Stuttgart like the plans were originally, we would've met up! I did meet up with friends in Vienna though. I had stayed with their family in Innsbruck 30 years ago. It's so funny though, because that was the highlight for my dh, son and myself. It's one thing to visit another country, but to get together with people, eat, drink, laugh...it just made it so much more memorable!

Depends...if I had the money to make a trip out of it (visit places, stay in a hotel for a few days, etc.) then I would travel a long way. If it was just for like a lunch or something up to 100 miles.

I have met up with Misty, Dani, Shawna and like 20+ other digiscrappers back in like 2006. I don't know if any of the other girls at that retreat hang out here at SSD. If so, please wave! I had a great time and would love to do it again!

I put other. A couple of years ago, I hopped on a plane and flew from Houston to Seattle to meet up with Kim (xboxmom). I don't know if either of us were digiscrappers by that point, but it was right around the time that I started playing digistyle, instead of with paper and glue.

Yes! We've got to do this!!! I would love to meet Libby! And, Jenny, let us know when you'll be here and we'll plan something to fit your schedule. I would LOVE to meet up with any of the Utah girls.

I'll be in San Francisco in May while hubby attends a work conference. I'm sure I'll have free time during the day while he's in meetings, so if anyone is near there and wants to meet up, I think it would be so fun!

I constantly meet great people through my blog but unfortunately most of them are from America. That's a bit far for me to go
I hope to one day meet as many of them as possible when I travel overseas

It'll be the 27th-1st, the 1st would probably be the best day, the 28th is Coop's 2nd b-day.

I haven't been there in years, so you guys will just have to figure out a place to do it. And let me know.

I'm always in for an Austin meetup. I would be willing to travel great distances to meet up with people I talk to on a regular basis. I plan to get my rear up to IN to visit Crystal some day!

omgosh! You should!!!!!!!!!! Though I really would rather you just let us move in with you.

I seriously would travel crazy far to meet up with some of my girlfriends. It's just that I don't usually get a chance. The hubby has limited days off and we only have one car and I am terrified of flying.

I love to travel so I'd go pretty much wherever, especially if it was for a big digi meetup.

I'm just now finding time to answer this...now I must go back and read.

I would travel to Borneo but not a mile farther. I want to meet Kellie.

Truthfully though a few hours is my max because I can't really afford overnight stays right now I've met several SSDers and it is so very nice!

I have actually travelled to Michigan to meet scrapbooking friends ... way back when I was a paper scrapper I travelled to Michigan with my 3 sons ... we stayed at the lady's house (and we chipped in for food) ... we went sightseeing during the day ... and at night we scrapped (and my boys played video games in another room). It was a lot of fun!

How far I travel depends on if I have any money come summer ... we are spending quite a bit in Robotics traveling to competitions ... so I may or may not have enough money to splurge this summer ... although I know I would travel to Oklahoma!

Fun, fun! I love San Antonio. I'm just up the road in Round Rock (north of Austin).

We came back through and then on to Austria too, but it didn't work out. If we had stayed the night in Stuttgart like the plans were originally, we would've met up! I did meet up with friends in Vienna though. I had stayed with their family in Innsbruck 30 years ago. It's so funny though, because that was the highlight for my dh, son and myself. It's one thing to visit another country, but to get together with people, eat, drink, laugh...it just made it so much more memorable!
Debra, you were in Switzerland last year!! I would have loved to meet you):
Claudi, where in germany are you?

My son was in Round Rock. He's in Jarrell now, and I'm planning to go visit soon. I'm sending him a ticket to come home (SoCal) for a short visit at the end of February, and I was thinking of coming there in March. Is the weather ok then? I don't want the heat and humidity! (heat is ok without the humidity!!)

I know Raji. I didn't know you were there until I got back...Next time (lol). I loved it so much though. Another dear friend from Austria lives in Switzerland now, and I've love to go see her. If I come, you know I'll contact you!
