I'm going to plan my trip for the Vigil in September. I know that all the Melons will stay at the Knights Inn Hotel, in Lafayette. I need a BIG help in this matter, because this morning I've gone to my travel agency, and they said to me that unfortunately they cannot book a hotel room at the Knights Inn directly, so sad. At this point, I don't know what to do. So I would like to ask if someone that will make the Vigil, and will stay at that hotel could book a room for me. Otherwise I should try to find another hotel in Lafayette for staying. Please let me know, if you want. Many thanks in advance Marika

Hey all you melon heads! I'm new to the site but not melon !!!! Long time love for melon. I am trying to work out a way to come to the vigil. 1st problem- traveling alone from East TN anyone around this way? 2nd problem- what do you tell your husband that just doesn't get IT? HELP. It will be my 1st Vigil and I REALLY want to go.

I am having the same trouble with my boyfriend, he doesnt get it and can't come with me because he will be in school, he is really not liking the idea....Don't get me wrong he's a great guy, but he doesn't want me traveling alone, he worries too much.

Oh, they HAVE to get it! They have no choice! lol Really, I think you just have to convince them that everything will be ok, Shannon will sure wacth on you anyway Besides, if you look on it in another way, life can be dangerous everyday, no less than when you go on a trip! It's not worth bothering and worries!

So Gelfling are you still going to the vigil even though he doesn't want you too? I really want to go because I may not ever get the chance. We never know if we have another tomorrow. I think I am just going to make the decision to go and if he doesn't like it and most of all respect my decision I'll just say "get your walking papers" I would like to get to know so melons before I go just to feel a little more welcomed I suppose. Do you melons think I'm being to harsh with my decision about my husband? It's about alot more than just this vigil. He doesn't understand me at all. So what do ya think?

Yes I can understand perfectly, My parents doesn't like the idea that I'm going to travel around the U.S. alone too, they're worried because I haven't been in the U.S.A. yet, and they say, remember U.S. ain't like Europe. I've to take a plane and travel alone for 12 hours, then take a taxi or a bus from Indianapolis to Lafayette, to find the hotel...etc... I have to do all these thing alone, plus I really don't speak a good English...and I'm not a good traveller...ehehe, I'll definitely make some poor figure, I know, but nevermind, I don't care about it, bucause I really want to make this experience, I want to be near Shannon with all the others Melonheads, and I think that Barbara is right, everythings will be okay, and yes I think that Shannon will watch on you and on me too (I hope) Anyway If I will able to cross the Atlantic and to travel around a strange country alone, I'm sure you guys will be able to make this experience too!

I will hopefully convince him that its okay, and I know he won't stop me if I just decided to go without him being okay with it....but my relationship is VERY important to me and Neil (my boyfriend) is the best thing that has ever happened to me, if he is really not okay about it I wouldnt go because I couldn't ever hurt him, he is a really great guy and my best friend, I am sure that I will convince him, he is not dead set against it, but more uncomfortable with the idea. I drove from Missouri to Maryland all alone to be with him so I think I can convince him that its okay and I can take care of myself. #grinning-smiley-027#

Thanks guys!!! I guess I just needed to hear that. I really hope to see you both there!! I think that attending the vigil is the least we could do for Shannon!! If you can do to job etc.. That is why I have not ever been able to attend until now. I have had a boss that would not let you take off for anything. He told you when you could take vacation. Now I have the luxury of setting my own schedule. So I have made up my mind. If I am still alive I'm coming to the vigil. I mean look what he sacrificed for us, his fans. I am so glad he did. What would this world be like had we not heard Shannon's voice. Sad to think CC

Awww, glad to hear all that, I'm sure you're all have a blast!!! We should always follow our dreams! You know Marika, I was thinking about all that too, how it's probably not that easy to travel around USA all alone, my mom didn't like the idea neither, hehe (but she knows she can't stop me and she don't want to anyway, it's a mother, it's normal that she's worried and my dad, well I think he didn't even take it seriously, that I want to go there! hahaha) But my whish to come to the vigil is just TOO big and it seems it's so strong that it blows away all the fears cause this is just too important for me! Anyway, it'll probably be the next year for me, I'll save for it all year and do my best!!! Are you comming next year too Marika? (I know it's kinda early to ask this question lol!) But you know, I thought we could actualy go together! I think you said you take the plane in Milano...that's not SO far away from me (at least comparing to US not lol) or maybe they'd be even a way to go from some other city that is not too far....I think there are often cheap flights from Venezia too... Well, I'm not sure that it would be very practic though lol, it was just a thought, I hope one day we make it both and meet...or what I REALLY hope is that one year we make it ALL there and ALL meet! YAY, that's be so crazy!

Hehe I don't know for the next year yet, but yes I think it would be a great idea to travel together, why not? it would be cool and funny and maybe Vince could be able to travel with us too... so what do you think about it Vince? Would you? We'll see, but it's a cool idea anyway. #bearhug#
