Hi! I'm very new on the forum, I've been reading threads for some weeks now and I finally decided to sign up. I'm really sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm French and I'll probably make some! I'm one of the lucky ones who got badges for SDCC 2014, so I'll be travelling from Paris this summer with two friends to attend the con! We're all very excited and very nervous with all the preparation left to do ><
Don't hesitate to ask anything if you're curious :)

Bienvenue, Camsha! J'espere que vous allez trouver beaucoup d'information ici!

Sorry if my French has grammar mistakes! It's been becaucoup des annees since I actually studied it. I mostly pull it out now for traveling. ;) 

Have you attended the Paris Comic Con? I will be interested to hear how you think San Diego stacks up in comparison!

Hi, my name is Ursula from Oahu.  My family (husband, two children ages 9 & 11) will be attending the SDCC (thurs & sun) this year for the first time.  I'm extremely excited and stressed.  I'm slowly working my way through the forum and seeing so much helpful hints that will hopefully make things easier.  I'm sure it will be a great experience and hope my kids think so too.

Great to see you here, Koop! We have someone else from Oahu (Angel_K) who is attending as well! I bring my entire family to Comic Con with me as well (my kids are 11 and 13 now). I know you will all have a great time!

Welcome to the forums, Ursula! ^__^/ That sounds like it'll be a great family vacation.  You might even be able to add in a day at Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, or SeaWorld in between for the kids.  I guarantee they'll love that, ha ha.

Hey! Yes I am the person on Oahu. Feel free to message me any time :D

Zero and angel_k -  Thank you both for the welcome.  Besides SDCC, the kids are looking forward to Legoland.  For myself, I really want to go to the San Diego Zoo.  I've never been to a "real" zoo before, if you've every been to ours here you'll know what I mean.

I am kicking myself in the butt that I didn't book our flights the day we got the badges.  The prices have gone up about almost $200 since and with the four of us going, I just cringe.  I just hope we have luck with the hotels so we'll just need to rent a car when we go to Legoland and not the whole trip.

If I can't make it to the meet ups, is the next best thing to buy a Friends of CCI lanyard and hopefully meet some of you?

Oh, yeah!  Legoland.  That's a cool place for younger kids.  There are tons of things that will keep them busy over there.  *laughs*

As for the lanyards, sure!  There were some people last year that met up with each other (or at least said "Hi!") in line because of the lanyards.  Just don't forget to mention your forum username. *laughs*  ^__~
