Hope you all find this worth the bandwidth.

I have had thoughts of going for 10 years, but have never found a way to
justify the 5000 miles. I think it was free (in more ways than one) or very
inexpensive when I first started thinking about it. Not the case anymore. If
anyone is going from the east coast, let me know, life may be less
complicated this year.
