I wish I was going to Fords 150, pouting cause I can't

Thanks, Laurie - this was by far the cheapest price at least my hotel research did come up with...and turned out to be not only the cheapest but also a wonderful place.

Yes, I am very happy I could make it again this very special year (and thanks again for your assistance in overcoming all "bureaucratic" obstacles), and I was ready and willing to raid my savings for this unique opportunity to get it all-in-one: the conference featuring so many great names and topics, AND the Booth Escape Tour I have fancied since I first heard of. And, of course, all the other great else and so many of the nicest like-minded people all in one place...
