Also, a reminder that people should bring any travel related items they don't need to give away as prizes for the tips contest. Think amenity kits and other items.
I'm already on the attendee list, commenting to say I just did South Africa, including Kruger, in May. Too bad I didn't hear his tips before my trip. Went there and back in F/J using Alaska & AA miles. Barclay Arrival points paid for my Kruger lodging. Protea (Marriott) is a great option, but unfortunately didn't work for my dates.

Soooo sorry to say I just found out I have to work this weekend and will have to miss out on all the festivities and friendly faces.

Hopefully, all my husbands will take good notes!

A big thanks to Bike Guy and his minions for keeping the party going. Hope to see y'all next year.

In CLE now and very much enjoyed the city today. Driving to Ann Arbor on Friday and looking forward to the seminar. I won't be able to attend dinner but hope to chat with lots of people at the seminar.

Dave, last time I saw you and your wife was when we did the walking tour together in London in May, 2007. Wow, 10 years!

Is anyone visiting Ann Arbor downtown? I heard the art fair was extended to the weekend this year? I'm thinking of parking at briarwood mall and take the bus in. Does anyone know of they tow your car if you don't move it for the entire day?

You can park at the Briarwood shopping center. It is also where you pick up the bus to the art fair.

I am--plan to park at Briarwood tomorrow (Friday), take the bus at 9:00 a.m. and have a quick breakfast at Jefferson Market before the fair begins at 10. Want to join me for breakfast? anyone else? I can be convinced to go elsewhere.

Is it too late to join in? Hoping to attend my first ever DO!


​​​​​​I will not be able to join for the dinner though, just the afternoon part @ the Pittsfield township center, if it's not too late.
