AllDoulas Pallooza 2010?

breezyinsc · 12-09-2009, 11:10 PM

Where and when, ladies?

I found an old thread for the May 2008 meet-up and I think it's high time for another!

How about Lloydminster Alberta!
or Edmonton ...yeah Edmonton.

LOL Michele!!!

Only 3 people were able to show up last time, IIRC.

Although I think it would be a total hoot, I also think that it's just hard on everyone with us so spread out geographically. Then add to that the fact that many of us have to scrimp and save in order to make it to the anuual conferences for our organizations. The money really adds up. $$$ If someone wants to try to plan an Alldoulas Pallooza, though, I will at least seriously consider showing up.

I'm hoping

to Pallooze at the CAPPA Conference in July. NC Baby!

...and I was one of the 3 last year.

I'm planning on going too! We'll definitely have to do some palloozing.

if we do it in portland oregon, i'll teach everyone how to make placenta remedies! c'mon lori and michele - i know how much this would interest you!

ok, just kidding. but what about having several AD paloozas at the same time in different areas?

Too funny, raeben! Actually, I'd be open to politely sitting in and observing. I doubt you could talk me into participating and making placenta smoothies or anything, though!

I'm definitely ok with those who are into it, however, so I promise you that I wouldn't protest or anything.

We are thinking maybe Montana for a moterbike trip.... its about 8 hours to the border.
Or else Sturgess South Dakota.

DoulaMegz · 12-11-2009, 12:31 AM

Minneapolis is pretty accessible...

and the sturgess folks come through here every year, just north of the cities I think!

yellowstone and glacier are really pretty on a motorbike, but busy in the summer months too. eastern mt is cool because it's so open and empty. you'd be the only ones out there.

sunshine · 12-11-2009, 02:21 AM

how about somewhere w/ cheap airline flights? where that would be i dunno.

MissB · 12-11-2009, 01:41 PM
