DAYTONA 2010 OFFICIAL THREAD

<--- in the ohio/pennsylvania group. Can drive van! Has DVD player in van!

Haven't quite fleshed out plans yet. But whatever.

I'll be there :)
 
I plan on going, may even need the room?
I have a time share there in Daytona, called them and they are booked >.<
I was able to get one day (Saturday I think) and am on call for the other days, but if it doesn't happen that someone cancels, what are the chances of getting a room?
This is awesome, this will be my first year in Daytona and I can't believe how many people go! I am REALLY looking forward to it.
 
I am really glad to see so much interest in such a short time too!
I think this year could be another great year!

Last year our cut-off date to book rooms was techincally August 1st - but since the hotel was not sold out - we were actually able to get rooms at our rate right up to that weekend if needed.
 
I'm not sure if I'm recovered from last year yet! I'm thinking about staying Sunday night- I'm always in such a rush to get home Sunday...I haven't decided what day to go, yet. I'm thinking Thursday, at least.

Once again, we can see how "involved" people who frequent the other sites are. Zero posts at either of two places I've seen this identical thread...

Well I think there are a few of us that frequent multiple sites, but the post was made here first and I happend to be in here. I also think that most of us assume Katie is here more often and just post our invovlement here and don't wish to double post.

So... I'm at least one person that frequents other sites that hopes to be involved and I know there are others. :)
 
Last year, Jeff B. at KS was very generous in allowing me to post the dinner and raffle in 3 different forums, because it supports USARK, and so does KS. Strangely enough, almost all of the donations came from the ball python forum! There was very little interest or donations from the corn forum there. I will ask to post again there as the time gets a little closer. I don't want to do it too early as the donors tend to forget about it as time goes on. I will want to mention the amount we gave USARK last year. After adding in some late donations that USARK sold later, wasn't it over $2K?
 
Connie and I aren't sure what we are going to do this year. We aren't holding down tables at Expo this year, but would like to stop in and do a walk around to heckle others that have to man their tables. Not sure if we'll try to just pass through Daytona on the way to somewhere else and stop in, or what. Maybe spend a few days in St. Augustine, or maybe Englewood and time it so that we can be coming through during the weekend. But the good thing about being retired is that nearly everything seems OPTIONAL these days...

Of course, a LOT will depend on whether there is a hurricane on the radar, I guess.... :)
 
I have not missed the big show in 16 years. Went even back when it was in Orlando. I will not be missing this year. I will be there for sure. Just hope my wallet is a bit bigger by then lol.
 
It sure would be great if you and Connie would come by for the dinner (or at least the raffle). It would be REALLY COOL if the PAST award winner could present the NEW award winner with the award, too!

(Like the Miss America or Miss Universe contest, I think, lol??)

Just let me know if you need hotel reservations at all and if you would like to join us for our dinner/gtg/raffles. It is a good time for all!
 
I will definitely be making it down this year I am just debating if I should drive or take a bus/train/plane and get a rental car.
 
yeah thinking about the hotel deal. But I only live like 45 mins away its kinda silly to get a hotel for that. But it does sound like a good time so I will think about it for sure.
 
I will be going as well!!
I'll PM you Katie with info..
I may take Robbie up on the Orlando Shuttle thing too
since the cheapest flights seem to be to there.
I only need one way though.. Supporting my boss on the way home.
Safer if I buy something too..
 
You're not allowed to go, Gene! I'm supposed to be the biggest guy there. You are killing all my street cred with the ladies...or something like that. :cool:
