I'll be bringing a large stack of books (around 5), a few notebooks, 3 mechanical pencils, my phone, a knife, and a UV light. I think that's all..... I am somehow going to manage to carry all this.... By freaking magic.

YAS! I am coming! Especially if ballet, BABTMP, Torstyn, and PSXtreme are coming!

I am bringing:

My poetry notebook

My iPod and earbuds

Bucketloads of hair elastics

My entire Redwall collection!

Serene, Jarnen, Rosalyn, and Arwen are coming.... Hazel is not. Serene's in italics and female, Jarnen's in bold italics and male, Rosalyn in bold with asterisks and female, Arwen in bold and female.

This will be AWESOME!!!!!!!! 

Okay, I'm coming. There have been a lot of ski lodges lately. I am also bringing my female AEs Joy and Willow.

Willow: What? I don't want to go to a ski lodge! I don't want to die!

Alright, Willow. You can stay home. (to the Hotel Manager) So I'm actually only bringing Joy.

We are each bringing a Kindle, a bag of sandwiches, a box of cupcakes, and a bow. 

Spots have closed. Now, for the fun stuff!

Day 1, Part 1

Elementgirl stood in front of her mailbox with Anna and Lisbeth, who were looking through a HGTV magazine, and Connie, who was staring at the mailbox. As Connie watched, the mailbox flag flipped up, the slot opened, and they were sucked through and roughly expelled on to the ground, HGTV magazine gone.

Several other CBers and their AEs and Captchas were also sitting on the floor looking rather shocked. General Waffleson and Kilp were holding very burnt toast, while across the room, Key was struggling to free herself from a pile of books. 

They were all in a large, lavishly furnished room carpeted with what looked to be like a medieval tapestry. The chandeliers were made out of diamond, quartz, gold and adamantine which shimmered brightly. The Hotel Manager walked in. "Hey folks," she said in a cheery voice. "I hope you traveled well. I am the Hotel Manager, and also your tour guide! Anyway, enough jibber-jabber, it's time for a tour of the mansion! Oh," she added. "Don't worry about your luggage, it's going to be transported to your rooms in about five- no, there it goes already!" All the luggage had disappeared, and Key was finally able to get up, with the help of Silverwaxwing. All the CBers shuffled out of the room, down one of the passageways. "Here," the Hotel Manager said, "is the Lily room, which some of you will be staying in! And down this corridor is the Chrysanthemum room! But you'll get your room assignments later. Here are some maps, so you can find them."

After a bunch of other interesting rooms, intricately carved trapdoors, and secret wooden panels, they reached the grounds. Outside was a beautiful sparkling blue stretch of river, with canoes and small sailboats lined up on shore. Upon seeing this, Elementgirl and Anna looked at each other excitedly. There was also a zipline course, a rock wall, and a cliff face with a large, beautiful waterfall.

Finally they got their room assignments, and went off to explore.
