Anyone going??? Duluth, how about you?? Do for sometime off yet??

You know I’d love to but the wife says our vacation money is going for X-mas in Arizona. (her family) I have deliberately stayed away from the IBEX site so I didn’t know what I was missing. I had a great time at the last show and learned a lot.

You'd be better off without her down there anyways......

I’m checking flights and hotels for Mon and Tues, so what’s the weather like down there the end of Oct. Are the hurricanes done yet?

I'd like to go this year, but don't like the new location. Last year I stayed in Pompano for a very reasonable amount. Drive to the convention center was about 15 minutes. I don't believe there is anyplace to stay in Miami within 15 minutes of the convention center that I could afford or would feel comfortable staying. I am lucky in that I can drive down in about 4-5 hours, much cheaper than flying!

I may change my mind though!

Try the Miami River Inn, 305-325-0045. While seeming not to be in the best of locations, it is about 7 miles from the convention center, and your car will be in a fenced in area. It is a enclave on the river and it is pretty cheap. Kind of a bed and breakfast sort of operation with about 40 rooms.

The Fort Lauderdale venue was more convinent in my opinion, and a much more senic facility and since Bluewater Nautical Books and Charts was right across the street.

I am going to IBEX, went in February, it was very good.

Not this year, maybe next. Those who are going will have to fill the rest in.
