Yea, that is what I am thinking but I could be convinced to do otherwise. The only significance of May is that I am booked through April15 because of tax season and then I leave on April24-May 2 for a collecting trip in Honduras. That means I can't get to Atlanta until May. Maybe Ricky could do it I don't really know. I can't find his phone number to call him. Wait I just found it, I will call him in a few minutes......

Then does it make sense to plan for Dallas this year, and then in May look at sites in Atlanta for next year? (I'm not sure I know the significance of May... is that when you have a business trip scheduled there?) What about Ricky? How often does he go to Atlanta? Could he scout a site when he's there on Seachem business?
