Oooh! I'm so excited. I am going to have to start pinching my pennies so I can go. We just spent all our extra $$$ paying off our Aruba trip that's coming up in March...maybe Santa will bring me a large sack of cash for Christmas!
Questions!
1-what are some of the local attractions in Tucson? I haven't been in that part of the country in about 13 years (I think! When was I in 7th grade?) so I can't recall what all is out there. I'd love to go see the Grand Canyon again, but that seems too far to make it during convention. I had thought about staying an extra day or two...perhaps I can see it then.
2-do you have to stay at that resort? I was just thinking it might be less expensive to stay elsewhere. Or is there anything even close to the resort? It wouldn't be worth the extra expense of renting a car just to stay at a less expensive hotel.
3-the website says that airline information will be provided w/ the registration materials, which won't be available until March. Would it be more prudent to try to book a flight now while they're less expensive? Or is there some kind of magical information included in that packet that I have to wait for before booking my flight?
4-it says that college chapters are required to have a delegate in attendance. Is there anyone else required to attend, like volunteer-wise? Does that make sense?
5-about how much pocket $$$ should I bring? I know the thing says that the cost of registration includes specified meals, but how many meals will we have to find on our own? And how much $$$ will I need for souvenirs, local attractions, etc. I'm a sucker for souvenirs, esp. if they've got AZD letters on them!
6-how many rolls of film am I going to need?!
