    Hi Jen, No worries, I knew you were going to be there anyway--the travel class was the only new thing for me. Sorry to miss out on it, tho'. Have a great time! Thanks for the info about other writers being there. I had heard about A. F. being there on 11/9 thru the Frommer's site, but the ST site didn't mention -any- of these events last time I checked. I'm now hoping to be there for the LP authors as well as Senor Frommer. (Actually, the main reason for the trip is to see my dad whose birthday falls on that weekend as well. But ain't it nice to combine trips?) Keep it up, Jen!
