that's typical! We don't arrive until late on the 5th. my dh would be very impressed if I dumped him in a hotel room after a 10 hour flight and said, I'll see you in 3 days!
Bev---typical CKU itinerary calls for Thursday to consist of registration (which is a snap if you arrive late...no lines later in the day), make-and-takes, and a "pep rally" in the evening, which I would go to at least the beginning of to get the goodie bag. If you don't stay for the entire thing, you miss out on winning some prizes, but you really don't miss a lot.
