Sounds like great fun.
Erik and I used to go to these before we had kids, and I definitely
enjoyed them.
However, now with kids the drive alone would make us crazy, as would the
fact we could never sit through an auction with them.
I was reminiscing with Erik how we used to drive to Portland and back to
hear a great speaker all in the same evening. Or go for one of their
weekend events. (or drive a speaker to Vancouver Canada and back). Life
certainly does change.
Shoot, we were just DELIGHTED our kids made it through the meeting last
Tues. That was a treat. I haven't been able to do that since June of
03!!!
Nice to hear the report. I remember when we went the prices were
absolutely amazing! Great fish too.
