First, a huge thank you to Stefan, of http://rapidtravelchai.boardingarea.com/ and Drew and Carrie from http://travelisfree.com/ and http://freakinflyers.com/.
Excellent question and answer session and presentation from Stefan! Exceeded my expectations.
Thanks to all that provided gifts for the speakers and tip winners!
Thank you to dlouise37 for bringing projectors, only to use the TV that was there.
Also, big thanks to George for hosting the Friday night get together.
I enjoyed seeing many returnees, as well as meeting a few new people.
I like the one afternoon format and thought the walking tour went well on Sunday, despite the intermittent rain.

Forgot to mention, if you left a bad review for Palm Palace, I would appreciate it if you change it or delete it. I think word got out to some, but maybe not all.
Management and I came to an agreement afterward where everyone got their $5 back and I agreed to return with my family. There were mistakes made and admitted to by both sides.
He stated that the bad reviews may jeopardize his job, and I believe in forgiveness.
So, please consider changing or deleting your reviews.

Send a PM to discountsae. He was collecting the money. Ended up being $28 a person as originally collected. Only contact discountsae if you paid the extra $5 after my fiery speech and didn't get it back.

The meal ended up being $28 each. I think 2-3 people did not get refunded the $5 extra they paid me. With the extra money, I decided to give Bikeguy $28 on Sunday morning, because I felt he deserved his meal to be paid for too. I think we all appreciate Dave's hard work, and he never asked for any favor. In the original $28 we paid for the speakers meals, but not Dave's. I personally felt like Dave's meal should have been covered as well. I took the liberty upon myself to use the extra money to reimburse his meal too. If anyone has any issues with the situation and feels owed $5, please send me a private message. -Dan

I agree that Dave's dinner should be paid for. I was going to suggest it near the end, but Dave was in tense negotiations at the time.
