GTG update

My IM emailed me last night telling me that she'd been thinking of the GTG and to get my opinion other going.  Since I've already told her, I'll tell you too.  I want her to come.  I've asked a few people involved in surrogacy that I know.
-She is pregnant and will be in her last trimester
-The one who is having another baby of her own doesn't have the money.
-And this one won't go anywhere within 50 miles of Atlanta for personal reasons.

My best friend would go with me if I asked.  Problem with that is that if she went, I wouldn't get to know anyone from SMO.  The two of us would wander off to explore Atlanta.  I wouldn't need to make friends with the SMO gals because I'd be busy and comfortable traveling with a friend.

I hate groups though.  And my IM would be perfect as a touchstone.  Someone I know when I get too uncomfortable with the group.  But not a best friend.  She's familiar, safe, but not so comfortable that I would stick by her side the whole trip.  

Now, I don't know if she'll go.  But I hope she does.
