    My wife and I are going! We don't have the flights booked, but have the Hotel and Conference passes taken care of!


    Let us know if you need any help with anything!!!


    For those who haven't bought conference passes...I think all of the Full Access type passes are now sold out or close to sold out. There is still the opportunity to see the show, but not take part in the dinner and I think they have maxed out the hotel.

    No, the logistics of having coral was going to be really tough. Half the floor wont even be able to start setting up until 6pm Thursday (unless that changed)

    Mainly, it is a loooooong drive, and by the time we drag down our booth and everything it would take awhile. So either we would have to ship the corals seperatly, and hope that they arent delayed in shipping, or box them up, and hope the are good being packaged up for 48 hours.

    Needless to say, not worth the hassle, risk so will just go and enjoy it for once.

    I suppose it helps that I will not be selling corals. However, I may need help with logistics as I will be flying down a week before, but will need my products and possibly my booth structure/etc brought down, or shipped and held. So if anyone is making the drive and can take a pre-loaded trailer, I would help with travel expenses. Not sure on details...just thinking ahead.

    I know I spent over $600 on gas for just Tx & back, I would hate to see Miami
