[tri-med] Re: Utah/Colorado

Hi Laurie :o)
Speaking as one who's only been in CO when Joe and I had a lay over in
Denver on our way moving to Alaska... but have been to 2 SLC Utah
conferences...I can tell you this:
UT was beautiful
The medical facility and docs were awesome
The picnic amazing although EXTREMELY hot
The people on the committee, the volunteers, and the people in Henefer also
amazing
UT was hot as blazes and I DO remember a few kids like Brady Eshelman having
some scary problems because of the intense heat. 
Devon and Donna and I were at times miserable because of the heat in certain
settings. 
However...having said all that...we still had a wonderful time. Although the
lengthier plane ride was a little more stressful for us....obviously that
would differ depending upon where you would be coming from :o)We have opted
to wait and go to CO next year mostly because we've been to UT twice and
because we need the funding for a Tech Talk for Devon. Just the same I'll
miss everyone and I'll be especially bummed if Karen and Alex go and I don't
get to see them, hug them and talk their collective/pretty ears off :o)
