Vex,
Found her, thanks! I have it bookmarked so my sieve of a brain will not lose it again.
Islands...mmmm.
We have lots up on the St Lawrence (Thousand Islands is the name of one region). We do get mosquitoes and blackflies, and there is no AC, but it is usually pleasant in Summer.
No bars on most of them either.. when the rum is gone it is truly gone. 
'Course with this crowd that probably would never be a problem.

Had a blast, but this D*C* topped all the others before it. The 76th made it's debut and damn were we shiny! I was so proud of how well everyone marched and we looked damn good in the costumes our own Tristan stitched up for us. Got to meet so many of the 76th and hang out and chat with them, partied with others, but it all ended way too soon. I can't wait for next year!
PhoenixRose and MSG it was good to finally get to meet you both. Hope you both had fun at the room party we held. I have pics of you both I will post once I get time to download them.

BC1, I had a truly shiny time at your room party. I think the room parties were the best things at the con; just hanging out with all my new friends and watching DragonCon TV and yakking.
Did I get a chance to tell everyone how wonderful BC1 was? He came and walked Magda and me to the Vortex a mile and a half away. So very sweet 
I have so much to write about the con, and I'm still trying to catch up on everything. Tempus fugit.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
A troll's hair is still pointy, even when it's wearing a hat.

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

Oh - I have no idea where to start! Being glomped for real by my most precious Mei Mei in the foyer of the Hyatt on the first evening!!! Meeting NavySeils and making him hug me for real!! Gettting to know his friend, Michael who felt like family straight away too! Meeting people from all over the world and hugging them coz they were already family!! Being recognised wherever we went as browncoats, meeting you all! Bear hugs with my Jimi-bear whenever I want! Hugging my MsG!!! Hugging my Rose!!! hugging my Engie!!! Hugging my Stinkin' Rose!! (thanks for the little 'gift' at the start of the parade Rosie! It came in very useful! 
... & I don't mean the Altoids!
) Hugging my wonderful brothers and sisters in arms who were part of the 76th! Being walked to the Vortex with Browncoat1 and his gorgeous wife, both of whom I feel like I have known all my life already!! Wandering around with my Kaylee costume on and being recognised as her by folk who came from all walks of sci fi life! Feeling like a princess at the Shindig on account of Stinkin' Rose and MsG's ministrations!! I love my sari!! Curling up in bed at the end of an amazing day with my Mei Mei and sharing our thoughts and feelings in whispered conversation! (thank you Mei Mei ) snuggling with Jimi-bear and MsG when we couldn't party anymore! Wandering around Con on the last night with Browncoat1 and his gorgeous bride - watching the guys drooling over her and taking photos of her! Always feeling safe no matter where I was coz there were more browncoats around than I could have imagined! Having no idea what the time was and what the day would hold as I'd wander somewhere with some friends and bump into other browncoats and they would say 'come with us to the...'and I would go with them and about an hour later we'd bump into some more friends and they'd say 'come with us we're going to the...' and so I would...
Finding a certain shy little kitty lurking near the Marriot on our way over to Jimi's room party! Just being with folk whom I've known online for so long and finding it all kind of normal and yet surreal to be in a room with them all in the flesh!! Kind of "Fireflyfans come to life"!!
My Mei Mei dressed as a pirate shic with whip and all - my other Mei Mei, Engie, with her Kaylee costume on! My Li'l Sis - MsG - just being there with her and talking whenever we wanted about whatever we wanted!
Oh! And bumping into Mark Shepherd on the first evening and having a chat with him and pic taken - he is the loveliest guy on the planet and I just adored him even more than before I went to con - he flirted with me in a Q & A session too! And I almost got lynched by a room full of about 1,000+ browncoats when I made a little joke about the show being cancelled...
Going to the Spike and Drusilla panel and just getting wave after wave of 'sexeh' off James Marsters! The queue was half the fun as I met ManWithPez and his wife - he made an awesome 'Seymore' from 'Little Shop of Horrors'!
Managing to live on less sleep for the whole con than I usually like to have in a single night!
And, lucky me... I still get Jimi-bear hugs!!!
