After much nail biting about the hurricane, the economy, the distance to the herding competition, etc., I finally got off the dime and made my airline reservation today. I even got a good deal! So, I am Beaumont bound! It was hard to decide not to make that extra drive for the herding, as I really wanted to see that, especially the tending. I hope it won't be so far away in the future. Anyway, I'm excited and looking forward to seeing everyone!
