from Dayton, Ohio (DAY) to Ft. Lauderdale (FLL)
for THREE people (my helpers and I) for
hotel (Holiday Inn - Hollywood Beach)
air fare round trip and rental car
from Thursday 8/12 through Monday 8/16
Expedia.com quotes:
$401.27 avg/person ($1,203.82 total)
and then convention admission adds another
150. per person x3 = $450.
bring it to just under $1700

now if only one of the big boys / sponsors / companies
were to run a contest for the $1700 prize or to need
help at the event in exchnage for the package - that'd
be a super duper blessing...

if I had to take just one helper making it 2 instead of 3
the entire $1700 package above would then be reduced to
$1250

I went to: http://www.internext-expo.com
to see who the sponsors and advertisers were going to be
to see if I knew of any of the companies that might need
help or be running a contest promo. . . off the top
of my head I don't recognize any as having mentioned
on the boards anywhere that they are running any contests
or promos - - - do you know of any ??
