This will be my first NASG Convention, as well. We're driving from Flagstaff, AZ to Harrisburg, via Raleigh NC. That's about 2500 miles. Of course, we're making an adventure of it, stopping to visit friends and family along the way. After the convention, we're heading up to Maine to visit our son, then down the east coast to Florida, with more visiting stops along the way, then back to AZ along the southern I-10 route - also more visiting. In all, about 5 to 6 weeks and I don't even want to calculate how many miles. So for us, it's more than just attending a convention. But that was the original motivation for the trip. Besides our friends and family, I'm looking forward to meeting many of you in person, especially those I've been working with on Dispatch article submissions.
Our adventure begins Sunday morning!
