Hi Dumbcouple (funny name, lol),
You can join this October Yahoo group,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DesireOctober2010/ It is an awesome way to chat and meet others before you get there and then, if you choose, you will have some other folks to chat with / meet up with once you get there

It can help break the ice of the newness!!!
My husband and I will be there from the 6th through the 11th and we are part of the yahoo group.
Laura and Eric
