Slight Change in Travel Plans

[bjarvis]

When we began planning our trip to the IAGSDC convention in Cleveland, it was with the intent of rooming with tdjohnsn and rlegters and the under the presumption that at least one of us would be attending the GCA caller school. Accordingly, cuyahogarvr booked us a room at the convention hotel for June 28 through July 7.

Sadly, tdjohnsn and rlegters won't be attending this year. While kent4str and I may assist as dancers at the caller school, we're not enrolled this year.

After some discussion yesterday, we've decided we're still going to head to Cleveland on June 28 but we'll crash chez ohwolfman until Wednesday, then check into the convention hotel. Estimated savings: $600 USD. Since we're driving to Cleveland rather than flying, this may be our cheapest convention yet!

Until next year

But won't be as cheap as next year.

Actually, next year may be the most expensive for us yet. Yes, we won't have travel expenses but we're still checking into the hotel for the convention because we'll need every hour from 6 AM to 1 AM for four days to keep this train on its tracks. If we get time to eat at all, it will be dining out 'cause there will be no time to dash home. (Good thing we have no pets which need daily attention!)

We'll also probably need to take a number of days off work in the 5-10 days prior to the convention to tackle last-minute items, and at least one more vacation day from work after to catch up on sleep and domestic chores after we've sent everyone back to their respective airports.

Tell me again why we're doing this...? :-^

Oh, right.

If anyone's up for a post-convention trip to Wisconsin to help us unload two storage units full of crap, er, I mean our precious possessions...

I understand that the only reason you're not staying here during the convention is because my home isn't adjacent to a food court?!

You finally get to move from New Mexico! Congratulations!
